Just ahead of the much-awaited but highly intensive finale week of Love Is Never Gone on June 19, 2026, Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 ex-housemates JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith were nominated for the 21st Seoul International Drama Awards (SIDA) as the Outstanding Asian Star in the said award-giving body, representing their 2025 iWant original series, Ghosting, in which they played the respective roles of Wilberto/Macmac and Jaja.
To recall Ghosting, it is an iWant original series directed by Theodore Boborol, released on July 19, 2025 (Part 1), which follows the story of Jaja (Fyang), a college student who retreats to her grandmother’s provincial home after being ghosted, and Wilberto (JM), a mysterious local who turns out to be a restless soul. The digital series also stars Vivoree Esclito, Kobie Brown, Gello Marquez, Ces Quesada, Zach Guerrero, and Peewee O’Hara.
The Part 2, dubbed as “Deja-BOO”, released on November 1, 2025, extends its online streaming release by six more episodes, for a total of 16 – 10 for Part 1 and 6 for Part 2, following the success of being part of the top 10 most watched shows on the streaming platform when the first part releases its episodes once every Saturday. Benjie Paras, Hyubs Azarcon, Milo Elmido Jr., Kei Kurosawa, and guest stars from fellow PBB Gen 11 alums JP Cabrera, Joli Alferez, and Jan Silva also appeared in Ghosting Part 2: Deja-BOO.
Before the first part premiered on iWant, its teasers and official trailer achieved more than 40 million views across their social media accounts. The series was previously a nominee at the 7th Village Pipol Choice Awards (VPCA) 2026 as the Digital Series of the Year, under the Entertainment (TV) category.
Ghosting is still available for streaming on iWant, free of charge.
Meanwhile, as of June 14, 2026, Kolette Madelo, who holds the Briefcase №2 in the recently returned game show Kapamilya Deal or No Deal, opens her briefcase upon the celebrity player’s selection, containing a top prize worth PHP 1,000,000.00 for three times, during the first batch of Lucky Stars.
Earlier, the debut weekend of Kapamilya Deal or No Deal opened Kolette’s Briefcase №2 that first contained PHP 1,000,000.00 following the decision that Jodi Sta. Maria chose that briefcase.
On May 10, 2026, Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 Kapamilya ex-housemate and then-Blood vs. Duty star Rave Victoria chose Briefcase №2. When Kolette opened that briefcase, the top prize value was inside it.
Recently, on June 14, 2026, Asia Yoona played Kapamilya Deal or No Deal as a celebrity player. During the game, when she chose Briefcase №2, Kolette opened it, and it contained the same top prize amount.
Kapamilya Deal or No Deal airs on weekends at 19:30, via Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, ALLTV2, A2Z, and iWant. Stay tuned for updates on Kolette if she will play for the said game show, and to find out that she will win the top prize amount of PHP 1,000,000.00, if she says “No Deal” at the final part of the game, or the amount provided by the banker’s offer, if she says “Deal” and presses the big red button.
JM Ibarra, Fyang Smith, and Kolette Madelo, together with Rain Celmar and some of the PBB Gen 11 alums, will also attend the Star Magical Prom 2026: The Future on June 26, 2026.
