They’re really special people. Mami-miss ko sila.”</p><div><br/></div><p>The new PBB host also gave a warm message to the latest batch of housemates, which also included his girlfriend Ashley Ortega. </p><div><br/></div><p>“I enjoyed my time with you, guys. Maraming salamat. Ito ‘yung totoong task. My task is out there, pero nung binigay ni Kuya ‘tong task sa akin, nagulat ako, obviously. Wala akong damit, wala akong ni-pack,” he recalled. “I have zero regrets the first night. Can’t wait to see you in the outside world. Hugs for you, guys. I’m so excited for your journey. I’ll be rooting for each and every one of you. I’ll really gonna miss you, guys!”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGsBtNSSh7A/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A4033459.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1053" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/3/7/if-they-ever-become-pbb-housemates-here-s-what-gabbi-and-mavy-would-love-to-bring-0020" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: If they ever become PBB housemates, here’s what Gabbi and Mavy would love to bring</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>After going back to his hosting duties on the country’s longest running reality competition, Mavy shared his feelings in a recent Instagram post. </p><div><br/></div><p>He wrote, “Hello Outside World! 💙🏠💛 Started the evening as a host, became a housemate and then left the house 5 days later!
