Pinoy Big Brother fans are in for a tech-filled treat. For the first time in its 20-year history, the iconic Bahay ni Kuya is upgraded with smart home technology, thanks to a collaboration with PLDT Home Life. Just in time for PBB: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0, the new House combines classic reality-show excitement with modern convenience, offering housemates and viewers a glimpse into the future of connected living.
The PBB House Gets a Smart Makeover
Since its debut in 2005, Bahay ni Kuya on Eugenio Lopez Drive in Quezon City has become one of the Philippines’ most recognizable entertainment landmarks. Over the years, it has hosted housemates from all walks of life, showing stories of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery that captivated generations of Filipino audiences.
Now, PLDT Home Life brings the ultimate smart home upgrade to the PBB House. As the official smart home provider, the company has installed devices and digital services that seamlessly integrate with the House’s fiber-fast internet. The result? A home that’s not only connected but also intelligent, convenient, and fun.
Smart Devices Elevate Housemate Living
Even though housemates are “disconnected” from the outside world, PLDT Home Life ensures they experience the full potential of smart living. Voice-powered IoT devices like vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances, sensors, cameras, lighting systems, and air humidifiers create a modern, comfortable environment.
Beyond convenience, these devices are woven into PBB activities. Housemates will encounter fun tasks, digital games, and special activations that showcase the benefits of smart living. Viewers can even learn about and purchase featured devices through QR codes displayed on-screen.
Bringing Smart Living to Every Filipino Home
According to John Y. Palanca, PLDT Senior VP and Head of Consumer Business, this collaboration demonstrates how smart technology can improve daily life for Filipino families. From TP-Link WiFi Mesh Systems for seamless connectivity to video-on-demand, PayTV services, and IGV Game Pass for gaming enthusiasts, PLDT Home Life brings entertainment, convenience, and security to every room.
The PLDT Home Smart Home Starter Kit, featuring a Chime, Smart Plug, Cameras, and Sensors, offers families full control and peace of mind. Devices from brands like Amazon, Xiaomi, Lasco, and TAPO can be conveniently purchased through PLDT Home Life as add-ons to internet subscriptions, with flexible payment plans starting as low as ₱89/month for 24 months.
Experience Smart Living on PBB
The upgraded Bahay ni Kuya is more than just a set, it’s a showcase of how smart technology can enhance everyday living. PLDT Home Life aims to inspire viewers to bring the same level of connectivity, entertainment, and convenience into their own homes.
