Guess what? One of the most famous TV hosts in the Philippines, Jessica Soho, just did something totally unexpected — she entered the famous Bahay ni Kuya from Pinoy Big Brother! And wow, it was a mix of fun, surprises, and emotional moments!
Jessica and her team from Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) visited the Big Brother house as part of a very special collaboration between GMA and ABS-CBN — two networks that usually don’t team up! Even Jessica was shocked it happened.
“I never thought this day would come. GMA and ABS-CBN working together for this project? Who would’ve thought?” she said.
Jessica Talks to Big Brother
Before going in, Jessica had to learn the house rules: no talking about the outside world and always follow Kuya’s instructions. Her first task? Go inside the Confession Room and talk to Big Brother!
She admitted she hadn’t watched much of the show lately, but since GMA and ABS-CBN teamed up and it was almost finals time, she got super curious.
“I just really wanted to know what it’s like inside Bahay ni Kuya,” she told Big Brother.
Surprise! Jessica Meets the Big Four Housemates
After Kuya gave the go signal, Jessica finally met the housemates — and wow, they were so surprised to see her!
They gave her a tour of the garden and pool, and she even cooked sopas (a creamy Filipino soup) for everyone! Then came the heart-to-heart talks with each housemate.
