A mini-press con was held to officially launch the “PBB Live Network,” the housemates’ next weekly task. The six nominated housemates, who will each headline their own live show, shared the concepts they developed, all rooted in personal stories.
Carmelle Collado went first and talked about her show, “Pangarap Ko’y Tagumpay,” which is her little tribute to her grandma, the OG 'kontesera' in the family, who had to give up her dream of becoming a singer after getting pregnant at sixteen. Now Carmelle’s picking that dream up, and for her live show, she'll perform an original song about her journey and her faith, something deeply connected to her upbringing in a religious household where she grew up close to the priests in their diocese.
Just like Carmelle, Krystal Mejes is centering her show on dreams, tracing everything back to the passion she discovered when she started acting at six years old, recalling how she would practice in front of the mirror and even get teased by her cousins for looking “crazy.” She would also secretly wear her mom’s makeup and heels as if she were stepping into a character, all because she had always imagined herself entering showbiz. Alongside that, her show will touch on her family’s struggles, which she wants to acknowledge with pride because, while her family isn’t perfect, she admires how they managed to overcome every challenge together.
Eliza Borromeo, meanwhile, is taking the talk-show route with her program titled “Ellie Unfiltered: The Life of a Lucky Girl,” a space where she hopes to show who she is beyond her cheerful personality and how she considers her journey “lucky,” starting from the unexpected moment she was scouted in a mall and invited to join showbiz. Eliza mentioned she initially refused to join the 'biz because of her academics, but she eventually said yes with her family’s support. She landed a role in "What Lies Beneath," just on her very first audition, and was later chosen as one of the housemates after the show's premiere, so she feels like she’s that girl who gets one lucky break after another!
