‘Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0’: Meet the Kapuso housemates

“Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0,” the third collaboration edition of the long-running reality show, kicked off on Saturday, introducing a new batch of housemates who will live under the watchful eye of the public inside “Bahay ni Kuya.”

Unlike the previous “collab” editions, which featured celebrities from ABS-CBN’s Star Magic and GMA’s Sparkle talent agencies, the new season brings online personalities and ordinary individuals into the mix.

A total of 16 housemates were introduced on opening night, with online personalities and ordinary individuals joining artists from ABS-CBN and GMA as part of either the Kapamilya or Kapuso group.

Below are the Kapuso housemates (with photos taken from the program’s official Facebook page).
