Pinoy Big Brother Collab Edition Reveals New Celebrity Housemates, Including Gehlee Dangca and Mikee Quintos

 

The latest season of Pinoy Big Brother Collab Edition is bringing together established television personalities, emerging talents, social media creators, and names with ties to the entertainment industry's biggest stars. Among the newly announced housemates are former K-pop idol Gehlee Dangca, Encantadia actress Mikee Quintos, beauty queen Winwyn Marquez, and Robbie Jaworski, son of actress Mikee Cojuangco.

The announcement was livestreamed through the entertainment platforms of ABS-CBN and GMA-7, continuing the partnership between the two networks that began with the inaugural PBB Collab edition in March 2025. The new season arrives less than a year after the previous batch of housemates crowned its winners in February.

Winwyn Marquez Leads the Lineup of Established Personalities

Among the familiar faces entering the house is Winwyn Marquez, the daughter of veteran actors Joey Marquez and Alma Moreno. With more than a decade of experience in show business, she has built a career spanning television and pageantry.

Marquez made history in 2017 when she became the first Filipina to win the Reina Hispanoamericana crown, adding an international pageant title to her entertainment credentials.

Another recognizable name is Mikee Quintos, a GMA-7 actress known for her portrayal of Lira in Encantadia. She recently completed her architecture degree at the University of Santo Tomas after pursuing her studies for approximately a decade. Her return to the fantasy series in its 2026 iteration has also kept her connected to one of Philippine television's established franchises.

Robbie Jaworski Brings a Sporting and Showbiz Legacy

Robbie Jaworski is also joining the competition, carrying a family name associated with both Philippine entertainment and basketball.

He is the son of former actress and champion equestrienne Mikee Cojuangco and former Philippine Basketball Association player Dodot Jaworski. Robbie is now pursuing his own entertainment career after signing with Star Magic, ABS-CBN's talent management arm.

His participation gives the season another connection to a well-known showbiz family, while offering him an opportunity to establish his identity before a wider television audience.

Shuvee Etrata's TDH Enters the Picture

Anthony Constantino has attracted attention because of his connection to Shuvee Etrata, a housemate from the first PBB Collab season.

Known as Shuvee's TDH, short for tall, dark, and handsome, Constantino is a model who has publicly acknowledged pursuing the actress even before her reality television appearance. The two have since appeared on GMA-7 programs, keeping their connection in the public eye.

His inclusion adds a personal storyline to a season already featuring a mix of established celebrities and rising personalities.

Gehlee Dangca Trades the K-Pop Stage for Reality Television

Former UNIS member Gehlee Dangca is another major addition to the lineup. The Filipina performer had been rumored to join the show before her participation was revealed.

Dangca returned to the Philippines in September following the announcement that UNIS would disband after two years. The group also included fellow Filipina member Elisia Parmisano.

Her move into Philippine reality television marks a new chapter after her K-pop experience, placing her in front of a local audience in a different entertainment format.

Aspiring Actors and Digital Creators Complete the Cast

Beyond the headline names, the latest batch includes television hopefuls from both ABS-CBN and GMA-7, alongside personalities familiar to online audiences.

The other announced housemates are:

• Bela Arcal
• Cianne Dominguez, It's Showtime co-host
• Primo Alterado
• Shea Valerio
• Nicole Fortuna
• Raheel Bhyria
• Jeo Ong
• Ethan Banares
• Calix Esguerra
• Nathan Garcia
• Lans Nagal

The diverse lineup reflects the changing landscape of Philippine entertainment, where television exposure, social media reach, family connections, and international experience can all shape a celebrity's public profile.

With established performers sharing the house with emerging talents and digital personalities, the new PBB Collab Edition brings together different audiences under one reality television format. How the housemates interact and develop their public identities throughout the competition will be a central part of the season's appeal.
