We just got two more housemates who are young, driven, and ready to swap the scripted world of showbiz for the raw chaos of Kuya’s House!

Say hello to the two newest stars joining the reality world: Princess Aliyah and Miguel Vergara!

What I love about these newest additions is the mix of fresh energy they bring. They represent the next generation of Pinoy talent—the ones who grew up with the camera, but are now willing to let it see them in their most unguarded moments. This isn’t just about charity or challenges; it’s about these young adults choosing a “new experience” and a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to find out who they really are when the lights are turned off.

Princess Aliyah: The 18-Year-Old Ready for a ‘Once in a Lifetime’ Challenge

First up is the beautiful Princess Aliyah! As a Sparkle artist (and the second housemate officially announced in this batch), she’s stepping into the house at just 18 years old.

This is a massive move for someone so young. Think about it: leaving the comforts of home, sacrificing all contact with the outside world, and being put under constant scrutiny. But she is clearly seeing the opportunity, calling it an exciting and truly “once in a lifetime” chance. I’m rooting for her to use this platform to show the audience her personality beyond the roles she plays.

Miguel Vergara: The Child Actor Seeking a Whole New Script

Next, we have former child actor Miguel Vergara. Miguel is trading his well-known roles for a completely unscripted reality check. He said he was intrigued by the idea of a “new experience” and getting the chance to “meet new people.”

For an actor, especially one who grew up on set, entering the PBB house is the ultimate test of authenticity. It’s where your character is stripped bare. Miguel clearly wants a new adventure, and the PBB house is the most intense, exciting way to find it. I can’t wait to see how his acting instincts translate to real-life social dynamics inside the house!

The Next Chapter: What This Means for the Celebrity Collab House

With Princess Aliyah and Miguel Vergara joining the house, alongside the recently announced batch, this season is shaping up to be an emotional rollercoaster. We have stars sacrificing personal time, dealing with family separations, and now, bringing a new wave of youthful energy and professional experience.

The synergy of these diverse personalities—from rival networks, different stages of their careers, and various life experiences—is what makes PBB the undeniable ultimate social experiment.
