Before Jarren became a housemate in PBB Gen 11 (which was revealed on July 19, 2024, during the Star Hunt Audition Show), he first showcased his talent as a contestant on The Voice Kids UK Season 4 (ITV, 2020) when he was 13 years old, and became part of the top 36 artists under coach Danny Jones.
Post PBB Gen 11, he officially debuted as a recording artist in 2025 with his self-titled debut album, which has since garnered over 2.5 million streams and featured its tracks Make It Make Sense and Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.

Something’s exciting ahead on Primetime TV:
The Loyalty Game leads on Prime Video, Blood vs. Duty hits the finale week, Someone Someday sneak peeks, dropped
On July 3, 2026, ABS-CBN Studios-Star Creatives globally released the first two episodes of the newest Prime Video original series headlined by Janine Gutierrez and Jericho Rosales, The Loyalty Game, which later topped its most-watched shows on the streaming platform since July 12, 2026, a day after the 3rd and 4th episodes of the series were released on July 11, 2026.
The latest collaboration between ABS-CBN and Amazon Prime Video has captured the attention of viewers in the Philippines and elsewhere in the world, ranking among the most-watched shows on Prime Video in the United Arab Emirates. The series has kept audiences hooked with its gripping storyline, unexpected twists, and standout performances from its cast.
With the release of two new episodes of The Loyalty Game every Friday, netizens sparked conversations online as they eagerly awaited each new episode and discovered more secrets behind every character. In 2026 alone, ABS-CBN previously released two Prime Video originals produced by other production units, including The Silent Noise and Love Is Never Gone, both of which are among the most talked-about series on the streaming platform.
The premise of the most recent episodes of The Loyalty Game is that Ana (Janine Gutierrez) once again stopped Beth (Sofia Andres) from conducting another loyalty test on her husband, Ben (Jericho Rosales), believing that he may not be cheating, despite mysterious actions, as ABS-CBN said.
ABS-CBN also added that the story took another shocking turn when Antonio (Bernard Palanca) passed away. While the suspicions initially fell on Ben and Beth, it was later revealed that Nathalie was behind the murder. The incident also worked in Ben’s favor after Antonio uncovered his secret meetings with Mara (Yassi Pressman).
Along with that, the darker side of Ben has also been witnessed by the viewers following the killing of Antonio’s private investigator, leaving them wondering what he is truly hiding and if he has remained loyal to Ana.
Throughout the script, nare-reveal sa akin yung important things about her. Grateful talaga ako kay Direk Mae because she really helped me find Ana, that was what Janine Gutierrez had shared about her portrayal as Ana, which allowed to discover the different sides of her character.
The character scared me. I think gray characters are the most interesting characters to play, Jericho Rosales described the most challenging character he portrayed as Ben.
The Loyalty Game is available for streaming exclusively on Prime Video, with two new episodes dropping every Friday at midnight (Philippine Standard Time, UTC+8).
It’s a challenge; gusto mo lagi may bago para sa audience. Gusto mo may bago silang mapapanood sayo. I really wanted to take it seriously. Gusto ko mashare sa audience yung religion na Islam, so pinaghirapan ko yun. – Gerald Anderson as Jalil Abubakar
I can say that this is one of my best works in terms of my acting career. It’s one of my favorites. – Richard Gutierrez as Marcus Reyes
Meanwhile, ABS-CBN’s hit action-drama series Blood vs. Duty, headlined by Gerald Anderson and Richard Gutierrez, will soon fight for the justice of two brothers separated by circumstance but reunited by duty as it nears the gripping but thrilling finale, under the title of “The Duty Lives On”.
Gerald Anderson, known as Jalil Abubakar in the primetime series, welcomed the challenge of steadfastly protecting the whole Muslim community caught in a systemic government conspiracy, describing the role that allowed him to bring something fresh to its viewers.
Richard Gutierrez, known as Marcus Reyes, called Blood vs. Duty his finest work to date, crediting the series for giving him the opportunity, and said that it was one of his best works in terms of his showbiz career, whose integrity and bravery guided his pursuit of justice.
The Kapamilya Primetime series has resonated with viewers on-air and online for exploring themes of truth and justice, including the tragic end of Ahmad Mustapha, played by the Philippine Senator Robin Padilla, following an escalation of the government destabilization.
Senator Robin also stood out as a Muslim character in the series, portraying authenticity and dignity and broadening the representation of Muslims beyond familiar stereotypes.
Ako po ay nagpapasalamat ng buong puso sa balanseng paglalahad sa istorya patungkol sa buhay ng mga kababayan ninyong mga Filipino Muslim. Ang malinaw na pagpapakita ng aming pananampalatayang Islam ay ginintuan sa aming mga mata, ganon din ang mga tradisyong katutubo ng mga tribo patungkol sa pamilya at komunidad ay kayamanan ng ating bayan sapagkat isa itong kaalaman ng pangkalahatan at magbibigay ito ng malawakang pagkakaintindihan tungo sa inaasam nating kapayapaan sa ating bansa, Senator Robin said following his farewell in Blood vs. Duty.
Cenon Palomares, the head writer behind the primetime series, shared that the goal was really to tell a story that reflects real-life issues, leaving viewers with valuable lessons.
It has to be a story na nagre-resonate dapat sa audience. Afterwards, dapat meron ka ng baon, meron ka nang pinag-isipan. Pag tumingin ka sa paligid lagi mo na makikita na nagmi-mirror siya sa totoong nangyayari. Kailangan socially relevant, Cenon added.
The series, in the final two weeks, is set to deliver a final chapter with a destabilization plot that is still in motion, and the true bond between Jalil and Marcos yet to be revealed – and may get their second chance as a family.
Blood vs. Duty airs on weekdays at 20:45 on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, ALLTV2, A2Z, and The Filipino Channel via Pay TV and IPTV for Kapamilyas abroad. iWant and Netflix subscribers may watch the series 2 to 3 days in advance.
And because Blood vs. Duty will conclude on July 21 to 24, 2026, fans of Kathryn Bernardo may experience her primetime comeback in Someone Someday, scheduled for July 27, 2026, and airing on the same ABS-CBN channels and platforms, alongside Netflix (on July 24, 2026), iWant (on July 25, 2026), and TV5.
ABS-CBN released a sneak peek video of Asia’s Superstar Kathryn with the online release of a vertical video featuring scene drops highlighting her as Billy Cariño, a devoted ate to her younger brother Oliver (Migz Casimiro), a best friend to Jordan (James Reid), and a fearless yet caring CEO.
The first sneak peek of the Chad Vidanes and Dolly Lulu-directed series showed that Billy is caring for Oliver, whom she raised by herself following the death of their mother and their father’s (Rowell Santiago) abandonment. Guided by Dimples Romana, she will soon have to confront her past wounds when her estranged father tries to reconnect with her.
Viewers will also get a glimpse of her character’s other facets in the following video releases, including seeing her close bond combined with her charming and ever-reliable best friend Jordan, as the two share a dance.

His own charisma is also highlighted as a dedicated artist who is passionate about music, as seen in one of the scene drops where he performs an intimate song number, including Pauwi Na and Sandal, two of his songs that viewers may look forward to during the series.
I just felt like now is the right time to come back. I haven’t played a character like this. I’m so excited for everyone to see how Kath and I, and also Maja, bring these characters to life, James said at a media conference held recently on Tuesday (July 14, 2026).
Apart from Kathryn, James, Migz, Rowell, and Daniela, the upcoming primetime series also features Maja Salvador, Rita Avila, and McCoy de Leon.
