Alexa Ilacad, affectionately known as “Ang Gen Z Bestie ni Kuya,” faced a moment of uncertainty. With the announcement of the monumental Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition, a collaboration between GMA Network and ABS-CBN Studios, the expanding hosting team led her to believe her time with the show had come to an end. However, a surprise phone call changed everything, solidifying her place in this historic season.

During the media conference held at ABS-CBN’s Dolphy Theater, Ilacad revealed her initial doubts, expressing, “Honestly, I thought I wouldn’t be included this season.” Her relief and excitement were palpable as she shared, “But I was so happy to get the call that I’m still part of it, especially since it’s a collaboration! Who wouldn’t want to be part of this season, right?”

Now in her second year as a PBB host, Ilacad is not only returning but also stepping into a mentor role for newcomer Mavy Legaspi from GMA Network. Sharing her wisdom, she emphasized the importance of balance: “The advice I can give to Mavy is to learn how to balance all the fun and when it’s time to be serious.”

Drawing from her own experience, she highlighted the challenges of live hosting: “There are times when you’re hosting, since everything is live, it’s like you’re always on your toes thinking of what to say.” She cautioned against getting carried away, stressing the need to discern when to transition from lighthearted banter to a more serious tone.

Her advice resonated with Legaspi, who playfully acknowledged her guidance, “Roger that, Architect.”

This season of Pinoy Big Brother is a landmark event, marking the franchise’s debut on GMA Network and the unprecedented collaboration between Sparkle GMA Artist Center and Star Magic. The fusion of talent from both networks is generating immense anticipation. Will this collaboration foster new alliances, or will it ignite unexpected rivalries within the house? Viewers can tune in to witness the unfolding drama starting 9 March on GMA Network, and through online streaming platforms.

Alexa Ilacad’s unexpected return adds another layer of intrigue to this groundbreaking season. Her insights and mentorship, combined with the star-studded lineup and the unprecedented collaboration between networks, ensure that Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition will be a must-watch event.
