GMA Network has officially announced that Gabbi Garcia will be the first-ever Kapuso host of the highly-anticipated Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Celebrity Collab Edition.
The announcement was made on Sunday, February 9 during GMA’s weekend variety show All-Out Sundays.
Gabbi expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the iconic reality show, calling it a dream come true.
“I’m super excited, biruin ninyo magkakaroon ng collab ang PBB! This is history and I am happy to be part of history. And alam ba ninyo, nag-audition din ako sa PBB way back 2012,” said Gabbi.
She added, “Maybe I wasn’t meant to be a housemate at that time, I was meant to host it! Fast forward to 2025, eto na nga! This is a huge milestone, and I can’t wait to share this experience with all of you!”
Gabbi also took to Instagram to share the news to her followers, along with photos of her past audition to become a housemate of the fourth season of PBB Teen Edition.
“Fun fact: Back in 2012, I auditioned for PBB Teen Edition Season 4! Fast torward to 2025—looks like I was meant to host it instead! Or who knows? Maybe there’s still more in store,” the singer shared.
The collaboration between the country’s two network giants will feature ABS-CBN’s Star Magic artists as well as GMA’s Sparkle talents. The new season marks the show’s 20th anniversary celebration.
This partnership marks a historic first for PBB to air on the Kapuso network. It previously aired on ABS-CBN, cable TV, and online platforms.
