<p>We know them as the stars who always look glammed up on screen. But once the cameras stop rolling and the makeup comes off, they head home and slip into their own domestic routines just like the rest of us. </p><p>Yes, even celebrities have household chores they secretly enjoy doing, especially when it helps them recharge. Now that you&#x27;re curious, read on and watch this exclusive video from ABS-CBN Studios to find out which chores your favorite Kapamilya artists actually love doing when they&#x27;re off-duty as celebrities.  </p><div> </div><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=AB6bUuRLsPFy5jl_"></script></div><div> </div><p>Raise your hand if you believe chores possess that magical ability to reset your brain. Francine Diaz feels the same. Cleaning, particularly mopping the floor and wiping things around the house, is actually one of her hobbies because it helps calm her mind. “Parang therapy din po siya for me, lalo na &#x27;pag sa kwarto nagiging makalat ako, and then &#x27;pag nililigpit ko parang naliligpit din lahat ng thoughts ko,” she shared. Cute enough, being organized is among her similarities with love team partner Seth Fedelin, who also happily cleans his room during his downtime. </p><p>Before becoming one of today’s most sought-after leading men, Joshua Garcia used to enjoy scrubbing floors with a “bunot” as his uncle would reward him for it. But now that there’s no prize waiting at the end of cleaning duties, the &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/4/29/joshua-and-ivana-grapple-with-love-and-betrayal-in-morocco-set-series-love-is-never-gone-1539" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Love Is Never Gone</u></strong></a><strong><u><em></em></u></strong>&quot; actor said he’s more into organizing his things and fixing up his space instead. </p><p>The secret to enjoying chores is pairing them with something you already love doing. BGYO JL likes washing the dishes while singing, &quot;So parang at the same time nakakapag-practice na din ako.&quot;  </p><p>Or, maybe do it for the people you love! For &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/blood-vs-duty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>Blood vs Duty</em></u></strong></a>&quot; star Lou Yanong, cooking is her favorite household task because she loves feeding her family, although she&#x27;s admittedly not an expert yet. She also watches series while cooking so it doesn’t feel boring. And sometimes cooking doubles as her “diet” too because the smell of the food alone already makes her feel full.  </p><p>Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez is likewise part of the cooking club. We sense she spoils her husband Ogie Alcasid and their son Nate with her home-cooked meals. Meanwhile, LA Santos will never get tired of cooking because he does it for his family, especially during their weekend bonding. Interestingly, his endless &#x27;doomscrolling&#x27; had a good side, as he got his cooking skills just by watching reels and vlogs. </p><p>“<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/itsshowtime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>It’s Showtime</u></strong></a>” ‘Tawag Ng Tanghalan’ champ Carmelle Collado and “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/asap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>ASAP XP</em></u></strong></a>” performer Jona are certified “plantitas,” making plant care their favorite household routine. Of course, pet care also made it to the list, with Elha Nympha sharing that she enjoys feeding her dogs and decluttering around the house.</p><p>Thankfully, we’re way past the whole “pambabae” or “panlalaki” stereotypes. These days, chores aren’t boxed into outdated gender roles anymore. Ladies, seeing guys do household work is attractive in itself, right? Interestingly, vacuuming is very much the boys’ territory, with BGYO Gelo, Jameson Blake, and Martin Nievera all naming it as their favorite chore.  </p><p>For BGYO Nate, chores are better when he’s alone, which is why he likes washing the dishes since nobody’s really watching him in the kitchen. Washing the dishes is one of the most loved activities on the list, with Kai Montinola and Esang de Torres also choosing it as their favorite. If you ask her why, Esang says it&#x27;s because the sponge is so fun to play with. </p><p>Meanwhile, Jason Dy and BGYO Akira are both into mopping floors. As Akira put it, the best part is watching the dirt disappear and seeing the floor transform from “before&quot; to &quot;after.&quot; </p><p>Alexa Ilacad had the most unexpected entry, as she&#x27;s the only one who likes taking the garbage out. </p><p>ABS-CBN Studios also asked JM Dela Cerna and Marielle Montellano, and they said they&#x27;re perfectly fine trading microphones for &#x27;walis&#x27; at home, especially Marielle, who loves cleaning in the middle of the night since it helps her think of fresh creative ideas too.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>More on this story: </strong></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/3/no-cameras-no-rush-kapamilya-stars-reveal-how-they-d-spend-a-day-when-time-stops-0001" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>No cameras, no rush: Kapamilya stars reveal how they&#x27;d spend a day when time stops</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/5/3/kapamilya-stars-open-up-about-the-small-fears-they-rarely-talk-about-0200" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Kapamilya stars open up about the small fears they rarely talk about</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/5/2/if-their-phones-could-talk-what-secrets-would-they-reveal-about-these-kapamilya-stars-0109" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>If their phones could talk, what “secrets” would they reveal about these Kapamilya stars?</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/5/1/these-stars-get-real-about-the-skills-they-struggle-with-and-it-may-surprise-you-0256" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>These stars get real about the skills they struggle with—and it may surprise you!</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/3/23/what-if-they-weren-t-famous-these-kapamilya-ladies-spill-their-normal-day-plans-0044" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>What if they weren’t famous?
