<p><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab"><em><strong>Pinoy Big Brother</strong></em></a> has undoubtedly formed many lasting friendships. Its main host and original celebrity edition housemate, Bianca Gonzalez, revealed who that special person is for her.</p><p>“Ang pinakaunexpected ko na hanggang ngayon meron pa rin kaming sobrang special connection na parang magkapatid, si John Prats talaga. Kasi shortly after our edition, a few seasons after, nag-host din si John Prats ng <em>PBB</em> for a while. So, sobra kaming nagka-bonding,” Bianca revealed.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9mQsd2yHC3/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A6253424.5%2C%22ls%22%3A4425734.799999952%2C%22le%22%3A4425742.699999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="841" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" 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><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>She also shared how they have witnessed each other&#x27;s life milestones together, like their weddings and becoming parents.</p><p>&quot;Kami din yung magka-age. Parang a few months apart lang kami. So, parang brother talaga. And then, halos sabay na season kaming na-engage, kinasal, nagka-kid. So, parang relate na relate kami hanggang ngayon sa life stage ng isa&#x27;t isa. Pati sa mga concerns, sa mga parents na kwarenta and up na,” she shared.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DB6LRjmzQLS/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A6254380.799999952%2C%22ls%22%3A4425734.799999952%2C%22le%22%3A4425742.699999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" 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><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Meanwhile, Bianca also reflected on her heartfelt post following the conclusion of their previous season, <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024"><em><strong>Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11</strong></em></a>.</p><p>&quot;I think that post came from an unexpectedly phenomenal season, kasi ang <em>PBB</em>, we have very, very loyal viewers. However, merong mga season na mas patok compared to others. And considering lahat ng challenges na kinailangang pagdaanan ng ABS at ng <em>PBB</em>, di talaga namin lahat in-expect that last season, <em>Gen 11</em>, would be as massive as it was,&quot; Bianca admitted.</p><p>She went on to share how they were able to make the most out of what they had during the last season: “Na-post ko ‘yun because parang we were able to make do with what we were given. Kung alam lang ng tao, hindi ‘yun ‘yung usual na budget manpower ng <em>PBB</em>. And to be able to do it as a team and then to exceed all expectations, even our expectations… sobrang laking bagay.”</p><p>The premier host also shared what she is most excited about in this latest celebrity edition of the well-loved reality show.</p><p>“Inaabangan naman online kasi alam ng tao na kapag host ka, kailangan ma-experience mong manirahan sa loob ng bahay. So, ako personally, excited ako na ma-experience nina Mavy at ni Gabbi to stay in Kuya&#x27;s house for a time period. Kasi iba talaga. Once in a lifetime experience,&quot; she mentioned.</p><div><iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FkbSxhS3Zso" title="Day 1: Meet the Kapuso celebrity Housemates | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>She also feels that this season will bring about new friendships between ABS-CBN and GMA network stars, as well as blossoming romances.</p><p>&quot;Pinag-usapan namin kanina ni Robi (Domingo) na sino kayang magiging BFFs na Kapuso at Kapamilya. Kasi hindi naman ‘yun usually nagkakatrabaho. Feeling din namin ni Robi posibleng may magkainlaban na Kapuso at Kapamilya. So, yeah. Maraming aabangan,” she teased.</p><p>As the longest-serving host of the show, Bianca also revealed that she already had an idea of which celebrities would be joining the latest season.</p><p>“Ako kasi I knew because ang role ko bilang OG ni Kuya, final casting, I did the voice overs for their VTR so I knew. Hindi ko lang alam ko sino ‘yung napili but alam ko na ‘yung mga faces nila. I&#x27;m happy na sila ‘yung mga napili kasi grabe din ‘yung kulay ng mga kwento ng buhay nila,” she added.</p>
