Ivana Alawi is house guest; Michael Sager is 8th Kapuso housemate in 'Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition'

Ivana Alawi is joining "'Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition" as a celebrity house guest!

During the premiere episode of the reality show on March 9, the vlogger and actress entered the confession room blindfolded and wearing a gold raincoat covering her whole face. 

As she removed her covers, Kuya greeted and welcomed Ivana to the PBB house.

Kuya assigned Ivana as the first ever house guest of the season and gave her a task: she has to convince the housemates that she is also one of Kuya's boarders. 

When asked if she accepts the challenge, Ivana gamely said "tinatanggap ko po."

During her brief stay in the PBB house, Ivana will give gifts to three celebrity housemates.

To help with her task, Ivana will use her moniker "Ang Phenomenal Content Queen ng Quezon City."

"Ivana, good luck at maghanda ka na sa pagpasok mo ng aking bahay. Celebrity house guest Ivana," he said.

After introducing Ivana, the show also revealed that Michael Sager is joining as the eighth Kapuso housemate. 

Earlier, "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition" revealed the first seven Kapuso housemates and seven Kapamilya boarders ni Kuya.

"Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition" is a major collaboration between GMA Network and ABS-CBN in celebration of the show's 20th anniversary this 2025.

It is hosted by Sparkle artists Gabbi Garcia and Mavy Legaspi as well as Kapamilya hosts Robi Domingo, Bianca Gonzalez, Melai Cantiveros, Kim Chiu, Enchong Dee and Alexa Ilacad.
