Nearly two decades after being hailed as the first Teen Big Winner, Kim Chiu made a meaningful return to the Pinoy Big Brother house, offering heartfelt advice to the current housemates of PBB: Celebrity Collab Edition.

The Kapamilya star, joined by her onscreen partner Paulo Avelino, appeared as a special house guest on a recent episode of the reality show. During her visit, Kim shared wisdom drawn from her own experience as a housemate.

“Enjoy lang talaga kayo. Tsaka ang pinaka-main ingredient talaga… is makisama, and understand and compromise,” she said.

Kim also encouraged them to stay positive and not let negativity get the best of them. “Always see the good in every bad. Parang huwag ng nega-nega kasi nega na ‘yung showbiz world, right?”

Reflecting on her visit, Kim told Big Brother that she was moved to relive her own PBB memories. “Nakakatuwa, Kuya, kasi bumalik ‘yung memories ko dati na ako ‘yung nandodoon sa position nila na may tasks tapos may bumibisita sa loob,” the actress said.

She added: “Thank you. It feels so humbling na bumalik diyan sa loob ng bahay niyo.”

Kim first rose to fame after winning Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition in 2006, launching what would become a successful and enduring career in showbiz.

She is currently headlining the movie My Love Will Make You Disappear alongside Paulo.

The movie made a strong debut at the box office, earning over P12 million on its opening day, marking the biggest opening day for a local film this year so far.

“Maganda siyang first day for us after everything. Maganda ‘yung resulta kaya very thankful,” Kim Chiu remarked in a recent interview with ABS-CBN News.

Kim also talked about her recent visit to the PBB house. “Nagulat kami, bigla kaming pinasok sa loob and then, it felt surreal ‘yung feeling [being back], ang daming memories and all,” she shared.
