The country’s most famous house has moved to a new location.
On Saturday, October 24, Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0 officially made its premiere. This edition is the third co-produced season between ABS-CBN Studios and GMA Network.
The major highlight of the season is the move of PBB to a brand new space, just months after it left behind its old home along Eulogio Lopez, Jr. Drive. This time, it has moved to the building in front of the former house—the ELJ Communications Center.
As revealed by TV Patrol anchor Karen Davila, the house is located on the sixth floor of the building, which is understood to be former office spaces of ABS-CBN subsidiaries like Sky Cable.
In the quick look given by the show during the pilot episode, it revealed the all-indoor setting of this season—the very first time that it has been implemented on the local Big Brother franchise since its 2005 launch.
In the features of the space that were revealed, there are the usual bedrooms, the kitchen and living areas, and even the confession room.
The house also has and indoor garden zone, where there are seats and what appears to be a sauna area.
Meanwhile, a total of 16 housemates were announced during the first episode. They were then divided into two groups: Kapamilya and Kapuso.
Part of the Kapamilya side are Robbie Jaworski, Cianne Dominguez, Gehlee Dangca, Nathan Garcia, Shea Valerio, Calix Esguerra, Jeo Ong, and Primo Alterado.
Meanwhile, the Kapuso team comprises Winwyn Marquez, Mikee Quintos, Raheel Bhyria, Anthony Constantino, Ethan Benares, Lans Nagal, Nicole Fortuna, and Bela Arcal.
An early twist announced before the episode ended is called “Ka-Collab ni Kuya,” which will see one Kapamilya and Kapuso housemate each go on a secret mission that will affect the flow of their living inside the house.
However, these two personalities are still unaware of the role that they will play as of yet.
Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0 airs seven days a week across different platforms.
It will broadcast weeknights at 9:35 pm, Saturdays at 6:15 pm, and Sundays at 4:40 pm on GMA, Kapuso Stream, the ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channel, and iWant.
Meanwhile, delayed streams will be available on Kapamilya Online Live, where it will be on weeknights at 10:15 pm, Saturdays at 8:30 pm, and Sundays at 9:45 pm.
