It’s official! Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition (PBB Collab) is returning for a second season. The first season’s iconic personalities are still taking the country by storm a month after the monumental Big Night, and the show’s massive impact isn’t fading away anytime soon.
Filipinos welcomed Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca as the first pair of Big Winners in PBB history, and we’re sure many are waiting for the next batch of housemates to enter Kuya’s house.
After all, the pioneer season of PBB Collab drew in millions of new fans and viewers in just five months. The celebrity housemates and their supporters brought back the thrill and entertainment of reality TV, solidifying the show’s status as a hot topic and pop culture phenomenon.

Host Bianca Gonzalez-Intal confirmed that PBB Collab Season Two is already in the works, and netizens and PBB enthusiasts are already nominating stars who they believe are deserving of a spot on the show.
Here are some of the names mentioned, along with unique monikers and striking personalities:
Sassa Gurl

OG fans of our Pambansang Mhiema remember when Sassa Gurl auditioned for PBB back in 2020. It’s been five years since her delightfully unhinged humor first reached the public. Enough time has now passed. Sassa Gurl’s presence in the PBB house is long overdue. We’re ready to see this witty actress, producer, singer, and social media star (okay, multi-hyphenate) get the full-circle reality TV breakthrough she deserves.

We were robbed of an intense acting challenge last season with PBB Collab’s child stars, Xyriel Manabat and Will Ashley. However, we’re sure their fellow young actor, Zaijian Jaranilla, can make it happen this time around. After his successful roles and consistently stellar performances, becoming one of Kuya’s housemates would be the cherry on top of his flourishing career. After all, Zaijian will have his fans and God (or should I say, “Bro”) by his side throughout the journey.

PBB Collab Season Two might just be Tommy Alejandrino’s big break after his steady rise in the industry as a young gay actor. His diverse acting roles show that he has an unending love for the craft, and it’s just a matter of time before the whole nation knows his name. His Senior High and High Street friends will have his back, for sure.

PBB viewers have a hunch that the multiverse of Esnyr Ranollo’s High School series on YouTube will expand after he and Manalo became housemates on PBB Collab Season One. Fans thought that even their co-star, Shan Vesagas, was going to tag along. If it wasn’t meant for Shan before, then maybe his natural charm and humor will make it this time.
Sheena Belarmino

We need more theater kids and kontesera appreciation in the PBB house, and this opportunity is right up Sheena Belarmino’s alley. She’s no stranger to performing, with impeccable moves and vocals that landed major roles in the stage productions Next to Normal and Tabing Ilog The Musical. There’s no telling where this well-rounded artist will thrive next, but we’re hoping that PBB Collab Season Two will let her shine in no time.

For anyone who plans to ask why, I’ll respond with, “Why not?” Our Hot Maria Clara and Hara Danaya, Sanya Lopez, deserves to fulfill her “houseguest to housemate” trajectory. They can even turn the song’s iconic dance steps into a special task or challenge, with Sanya teaching the choreography, of course.
Caitlyn Stave

This PBB Collab Season Two dream lineup won’t be complete without our chronically online Gen Z queen, Caitlyn Stave. Besides her emerging acting career and affinity for horseback riding, we’re ready for this cowgirl at heart to conquer new racing fields and thrive in her newfound community.

Rounding this wish list up is our favorite new-generation kontrabida actress, Kyline Alcantara. She’s the kind of artist who lets her success and accomplishments speak for themselves. With her as a housemate, flaunting her cool and chic personality, fans can look forward to an iconic season full of dynamic personalities you’ll never get tired watching.
