Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino brought excitement and inspiration to the Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition housemates with a surprise visit that aired Friday night.
The Kapamilya stars first waited inside the confession room, where Esnyr was assigned to escort them out. Shocked and starstruck, Esnyr shared a brief but sweet moment with Kim and Paulo before introducing them to the rest of the housemates.
The surprise had everyone in awe, and the housemates went the extra mile to welcome their guests—some even putting on amusing French accents to serve the “Pinoy Big Pares” dish for their weekly task.
After the meal, Kim and Paulo spent time bonding with the housemates, sharing advice about love, life, and staying grounded in showbiz.
Kim, a PBB icon and host of the current season, advised, “Just enjoy. The key ingredient is learning to get along, understanding others, and compromising. Always see the good in the bad—don’t add to the negativity. Showbiz is already full of that.”
Paulo encouraged the housemates to stay motivated: “Whatever your reason is for being here, it doesn’t matter. Just wake up every day with that same drive. I hope to work with many of you after this.”
Kim, the first-ever big winner of PBB: Teen Edition 1 in 2006, now co-hosts this season alongside Gabbi Garcia, Mavy Legaspi, Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee, and Alexa Ilacad.
Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition airs on GMA Network at 10 p.m. on weekdays and 6:15 p.m. on weekends.
