DongYan Surprises PBB Collab 3.0 Housemates With Visit to Bahay ni Kuya
Celebrity couple Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes are the latest guest housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0,” giving the current batch of housemates one of the biggest surprises of the season so far.
According to ABS-CBN News, the couple’s entry was announced through PBB’s social media accounts before the end of the show’s Sunday episode on November 1. The teaser showed the two arriving inside the famous house and catching the housemates off guard.
GMA News reported that the surprise was shown in the “Abangan” portion of the episode. The housemates were stunned when they suddenly heard the doorbell, and they could not hold back their screams once Dingdong and Marian walked in.
The full visit of the couple, fondly called “DongYan” by fans, is set to be seen by viewers in Monday night’s episode, based on a report by GMA Entertainment.
The pair are not the first celebrities to drop by the house this season. Piolo Pascual, Iñigo Pascual, Darren Espanto, Kyle Echarri, River Joseph, and Emilio Daez earlier surprised the housemates during Shea Valerio’s birthday.
The visit comes as Dingdong and Marian promote their upcoming film “Remember,” directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar, who also helmed their blockbuster hit “Rewind.” The family drama follows an estranged couple who pretend to be together again for the sake of their daughter, played by Zia Grace, whose memory is fading. Shot in Quebec, Canada, the movie also stars Joross Gamboa, Kyle Echarri, and Ana Abad Santos.
“Remember” is a collaboration of ABS-CBN Studios, Star Cinema, APT Entertainment, AgostoDos Pictures, and Regal Entertainment. As stated in an ABS-CBN press release, it opens in Philippine cinemas on November 11, followed by screenings in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Australia, and New Zealand on November 12, and in the US, Canada, and Guam on November 13.
Outside the film, Dingdong continues to star in the GMA Prime series “The Master Cutter,” while Marian is set to topbill a new series with Jillian Ward.
For PBB fans, the DongYan visit is another reminder that this collab season is full of surprises, and many are now curious to see what the power couple has in store for the housemates.
