Kapamilya actress Barbie Imperial was beaming with happiness when, in January 2026, she held the groundbreaking ceremony for her future home in Albay.
Fans know her inspiring story of growing up in a humble household in Daraga, Albay, before joining Pinoy Big Brother 737 in 2015. Inside Bahay ni Kuya, she earned the moniker "Doll Along Da Riles ng Albay" because their home was located near the Philippine Natiional Railways tracks in Daraga.

Another 'Pinoy Big Brother' alumnus taking on the responsibility of building a home in 2026 is Wil Dasovich also known as "Ang Cool IT-vlogger ng Pampanga."
The popular YouTube content creator confirmed this exciting new development on Instagram, revealing that his future home will be located in the Tagaytay, south of Metro Manila.
Although Wil is thrilled about this new chapter, he admitted on Instagram Stories that building a house can also be daunting.
He shared: “So, I committed to try and build a house in the Philippines, but I've been warned of the risks and all that could go wrong.
“Friends, family, followers all have shared with me their own personal horror stories… Either way I'm not too worried cuz I have a solid team behind me helping out.”

Vlogger and actor Benedict Cua shared in a vlog that he plans to move to Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig for work and his son Aleck.
In a vlog uploaded on February 2, Benedict revealed that he acquired a new condominium unit in the bustling business district because the school he is considering for Aleck is near his condo.
“Naisip ko madalas din ako sa BGC because, one, dito 'yung work ko. Most of the time nagli-live stream ako dito 'yung company na pinagli-live stream-an ko. And [nandito] 'yung future schools na ina-eye ko around the area also. So, this is a really big change and big move para sa akin, kasi ang tagal ko siya pinag-isipan.”
Daddy Ben's new home in BGC is a three-bedroom unit, and he intends to move in by February 2026.

Former actress-turned-influencer Nicole Andersson shared exciting news in a vlog last February 21 — she is moving out of her apartment.
In the video description, “It's time for a new chapter and so excited to share this new journey.
“Moving out of this apartment feels like closing a chapter that shaped me in so many quiet, unforgettable ways. These walls held my late-night thoughts, small wins, hard days, and moments of laughter I'll always carry with me. I'm grateful for everything this space gave me — growth, comfort, and memories that feel like home.”
Nicole also candidly admitted that moving out can be expensive.
She shared, “I felt like it's time about a new space, maybe new experiences, new opportunities. If I'm being honest, I think maybe made the wrong decision of trying to do everything myself.
“Eventually, I realized there were heavy things that I could not of course carry. As much as be like I'm strong, independent woman. I can do everything myself, I can't carry the couch or the bed. Nor can I dissemble it or do anything. I was trying to save as much money as I can, because as you guys know magastos pala.”
YouTuber and influencer Jen Barangan admitted that building her house in Carcar City, a component city in the province of Cebu, has been a stressful one.
The former flight attendant-turned- content creator discussed some of the challenges she encountered during the construction of her house in her vlog.
“At least you will have an idea of how stressful it is," Jen shared.
“Though, nakaka-enjoy siya but I think I'm now at the stressful part of building a house. Parang, finishing part na kasi and for the finishing part you kinda need to be specific of the items you want, especially for the color combination.
“Feeling ko 'yung contractor ko ngayon, naiinis na talaga siya sa akin. 'Cause, last time I visited nagpabago ako, nagchange ako ng door. But I'd like to set proper expectations that for any changes, of course, nagbabayad ako. I know, it's going to be very stressful on their part. "
