Welcome to our Online Weekly Newsletter from DRPS PHCA’s own community news and bulletin board service, DRPS PHCA Free. It provides an overview of what has been happening to Philippine TV and Radio, including us, over the last week.
Featured Article: PBB Collab 2.0’s 7th Weekly Task Win, Lee and Iñigo’s eviction
After a failure occurred in the last weekly task in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0, they completed the 7th Weekly Task called “Patong Patong na Presents”, where the housemates had to stack sixteen gift boxes, as seen in the 3rd Live Eviction Night broadcast of the reality show, where Lee Victor and Iñigo Jose enter the outside world for receiving the lowest percentage of Votes to Save on the Maya app.
For the mechanics involving their 7th Weekly Task, with the first gift box in hand, they, as the “elves”, will carry it as they walk from the first Christmas Tree to the second one, and the second box in hand will be added by the elves after doing this process. Every four stacks of gift boxes during the period will be given 25% of the weekly budget, credited to their Maya savings once the task ends (if all of the sixteen boxes are stacked and have crossed along the two trees correctly, a full budget will be given to them).
At the end of their weekly task, the housemates had stacked ten (10) gift boxes, which accounted to receive 50% of their weekly budget, credited to their Maya Savings. Earlier, before this weekly task and other inside-the-house happenings, such as Shuvee Etrata’s re-entry to promote her upcoming 51st MMFF Entry Film, “Call Me Mother”, and the separation of the girls and boys, which spewed controversial remarks on the online world, the housemates had earned PHP 201,154.48 in Maya Savings, even though their last weekly task called “Apat na Selda” failed.
For the eviction announcement part of the live broadcast, we’ve seen that Lee Victor and Iñigo Jose end their journey inside the PBB House. Based on the official, final tally of votes, Lee was voted by 15.59% while Iñigo was voted by 40.52%, resulting in them entering the outside world. If Fred Moser had 59.48% of the votes in this 3rd voting round for Kapamilya Housemates, then Heath Jornales got the highest vote of 84.41% – an all-time high in this season for any Sparkle housemate, and the second highest within the season, citing that Fred Moser, who was also nominated in the 1st nomination night, received 88.31% of Votes to Save (3.9% higher than the 3rd Nomination Night’s final results).
Earlier, before this 3rd Eviction Night happened, Reiven Umali, a Star Music artist known as a Grand Champion of “Tawag ng Tangalan, ang Ikalimang Taon”, dropped in a music video for “Iba Ka Talaga”, where Iñigo Jose, along with Reign Parani, a Star Magic actress known for her recent series, “Love At First Spike”, and an alum from Pinoy Big Brother: Otso, stars in the video, which was shot somewhere in Zambales. The said song is a key track of his self-titled EP, “REIVEN”. Among which in this album are “Big Honey,” “Pakimahal,” “Tayo Pa Ba?,” and his own composition, “Kahit Malayo.” Iñigo also appeared in a TV Series on ABS-CBN, “ROJA”, played as “Jabbas”, and in another music video, this time, sung by Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 4th Big Placer, Kai Montinola, in “Overthink”, from her “Kaileidoscope” EP.
Bianca Gonzalez, who is the host of Pinoy Big Brother, however, at the beginning of the live eviction broadcast, made a statement regarding the recent issues within the week. In a statement announced to the viewers on-air and the audiences outside the Big Brother house, she said that “within the week, the housemates, especially the male housemates, learned an important lesson about boundaries and respect for women. Big Brother and the entire program stand by their stance that this type of behavior is wrong and unacceptable, and as a course of action, Big Brother chose to address the incident in a way that provides accountability and an opportunity to learn from mistakes and strive to do better.”

JMFyang’s Ghosting Finale, coming Dec. 14, Jas’ When Brothers Fall, premieres Dec. 15
This Sunday, December 14, 2025 (originally slated to release tonight but then moved on the following night), before you watch the ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2025 on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, and Kapamilya Online Live, JMFyang’s spectacularly supernatural romantic digiseries, “Ghosting”, which ran its second part of the season entitled “Deja-BOO!”, is coming to an end, as Macmac (JM Ibarra) and Jaja (Fyang Smith) exchanged warm embraces and teasing moments, signaling a significant turning point in their relationship.
After holding back due to past heartbreaks, Jaja finally faces her fears of being ghosted and decides to give her romance with Macmac a real chance. But just as their relationship begins to deepen, Macmac uncovers the literal ghost from Jaja’s past: Treb (also portrayed by JM), who continues to appear in her dreams and linger in her most important memories.
Macmac admits he is hurt upon learning that his rival for Jaja’s heart is a lingering spirit, fearing that he might only be loved because he reminds her of Treb’s memory. “Ghosting Part 2: Deja-BOO!” streams its finale episode this December 14, 2025, on iWant.
And a day after this, PBB Gen 11 alum Jasmine Dudley-Scales, together with the other half of “ArJas” loveteam, Argel Saycon, will be joining another Microdrama titled “When Brothers Fall” by December 15, 2025, via iWant and BeetzeePlay, which will serve as the fifth and final microdrama offering on iWant’s Quick Feels for 2025.
The story follows Jake and Eric Velasco, the heirs to a powerful steel empire. Jake (Argel Saycon), the brilliant and beloved heir, is pushed into an arranged marriage meant to secure the family’s future. Refusing a life dictated by others, he escapes to a remote island where he meets Alison (Jasmine Dudley-Scales), a woman also running from a destiny she never chose. What begins as a chance encounter turns into a deep and life-changing love until ruthless manipulations tear them apart.
Back in Manila, Alison is forced into an engagement with Eric (Ron Angeles), the younger brother who has spent his life in Jake’s shadow. Unaware of her past, Eric falls deeply for the same woman who once held his brother’s heart. Their hidden history resurfaces through painful confrontation, triggering a spiral of betrayal.
