The big four of Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11—Fyang Smith, Rain Celmar, Kolette Madelo, and Kai Montinola—stun in chic winter outfits in Metro’s latest digital cover, reflecting on their thrilling journey as housemates.
Fyang Smith’s journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. What started as a TikTok content creator career turned into a life-changing opportunity when she joined PBB, capturing the hearts of viewers. “So many things have changed. I’ve experienced things I never imagined before—like guesting and stepping into the world of showbiz. It’s overwhelming but incredible,” Fyang shared in her cover story.
For Rain Celmar, the sporty, girl-next-door persona that captured the audience’s attention was just the beginning of her transformative journey. Her time in Kuya’s house helped her discover a deeper sense of self and a greater appreciation for the little things. “I’d say I believe in myself more now. I’ve also learned to appreciate the little things in life, although I’ve always been grateful,” Rain reflected.
Kolette Madelo, a natural-born performer with talents in singing, songwriting, and dancing, now finds herself stepping into the spotlight. After leaving PBB, Kolette’s life has shifted, with her newfound fame bringing surreal experiences. “My lifestyle now is different. It’s still simple, but not quite like before. Like, when I walk down the street and people ask for photos—it’s surreal,” Kolette expressed.
Similarly, Kai Montinola, a 17-year-old artist from Cebu, embraces the drastic changes that come with being part of the showbiz world. “Now that I’m in showbiz, I look forward to doing something every day. The change has been drastic, but it’s what I asked for, and so far, I’m enjoying every bit of it,” Kai said with enthusiasm.
