MANILA -- Nearly two decades after he first entered as a housemate, comedian Jayson Gainza returned to the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) house, offering thanks and reflecting on the place that launched his career as it faces a new chapter.
Gainza shared a video of his visit to the PBB house through a social media post.
Like actor Sam Milby, Gainza was one of the original housemates of Big Brother or Kuya being part of PBB's first season.
"Buong puso akong nagpapasalamat siyempre sa ABS-CBN, sa PBB siyempre, Direk Lauren (Dyogi). Ang laki ng utang na loob ko sa kanila," Gainza shared.
"Pero ako ay nagpapasalamat sa PBB, season 1 po kami. Kami nina Nene (Tamayo), si Nene po ang aming grand winner. At ito po masisilayan po natin muli ang ating Big Brother house. Maraming-maraming salamat po sa bumubuo ng PBB ng Big Brother house, direk Lauren (Dyogi), Tita LT (Linggit Tan) marami pong salamat sa inyo," he added.
After his PBB stint in 2005, Gainza joined entertainment industry and became a comedian, actor and host, appearing on various events and screen projects. He is also known for impersonating King of Talk Boy Abunda.
"Sana po ay tuloy pa rin, lumipat kayo ng ibang venue pero tuloy pa rin po ang PBB. Ipinagdarasal ko po 'yon kasi marami po kayong natutulungan," he added.
Last week it was officially announced that the Pinoy Big Brother house is closing its doors as the reality show moves to a new location.
According to ABS-CBN News by Laurenti Dyogi, head of TV Production and Star Magic, they will be building a new PBB house.
“For the coming season, it’s good to have a new feel naman for the new housemates. We’ve decided to move it and build a new PBB house, abangan nila kung saan 'yung new PBB house,” Dyogi said during a farewell get-together by the staff, some of the show’s hosts and ABS-CBN executives.
