Five nights before Christmas, the "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" housemates got the ultimate early holiday treat—a surprise visit from none other than the Unkabogable Superstar herself, Vice Ganda!
And because it’s the season of giving, Kuya gave them an exclusive sneak peek of Vice’s new movie "Call Me Mother," which hits cinemas this December 25, as part of the Metro Manila Film Fesival 2025.
The house was once again filled with loud cheers as Vice entered as a guest. Since the movie’s theme is all about ‘mothering,’ the housemates opened up to her about how they personally related to the story. Rave Victoria, who already shared during the pilot week (when the housemates where asked their biggest 'multo' in life) about the pain of being separated from her mother who migrated abroad and eventually started a new family, once again talked about that painful moment when he found out that his mom had already married her new partner without even inviting him to the wedding.
With his mom away, Rave grew up under the care of his grandma, who taught him strength, love, and forgiveness. And even if everything that happened left a wound in his heart, Rave never harbored hate towards his mom, if anything, he's happy for her.
Vice admired Rave’s emotional maturity, how he chooses not to be bitter despite the pain. Moved by what she’s heard, Vice ended up sharing her own story of growing up apart from her mom, Rosario, when the latter had to work overseas. Vice recalled how the distance made their relationship awkward, to the point where, by the time her mom left again, they were emotionally distant. But nothing is beyond healing when there’s love and communication.
Because being kind is a major flex in Bahay Ni Kuya, the housemates who were voted by their fellow roomies as the 'pinakamabuti' got a super special reward—a phone call with their mothers, with a little help from Vice.
Rave, being one of those chosen, got the chance to speak with her grandmother for 100 seconds. The episode also featured tear-jerking moments from Lella Ford, Heath Jornales, and John Clifford’s calls with their moms.
