Metro x Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition - Emilio Daez

Article (news)

With an irresistible combination of handsome looks, charm, and talent, Emilio Daez was once considered by viewers like a K-pop idol during his Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition stay. Introduced as “Ang Mr. Bankable Achiever ng Pasig,” Emilio immediately captured the hearts of the young generation, contributing to his sharp showbiz breakthrough.Emilio was once focused on carving a place in the financial corporate field. He didn&#x27;t realize the universe would allow him to heed a different calling: a career as a heartthrob and leading man material in showbiz.Before his PBB audition, Emilio was slowly thriving in showbiz with talent as his number one gear. His television series debut was with Pamilya Sagrado, where he co-starred with Piolo Pascual. In the months ahead, he became a supporting cast member of the drama Saving Grace, joining seasoned actresses Julia Montes and Sharon Cuneta. <div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756275352536metro exclusive pbb celeb collab emilio daez embed 1 (1).jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Emilio Daez, as photographed by Dix Perez</div><div> </div>Emilio considers his PBB experience an achievement and a blessing, especially because it&#x27;s a historic edition. Although Emilio was one of the late entrants to the show, along with Vince Maristela, the housemates made it easy for him to adjust and warmly welcomed him into the house.“I really credit the housemates for this. They didn&#x27;t make my adjustment period hard at all. Of course, I know it was a little tough coming in because two housemates were just evicted when I came in. But they never made me feel bad. They were so accommodating. They were so warm. And I really just got along with them so well,” Emilio recalled.Along with the warm welcome from the housemates, Emilio felt the friendship built inside was the most rewarding thing throughout his PBB journey. After all, he said, “It was a collab show.”Considering that this season is one for the books, Emilio is delighted to be part of this historic edition. “It&#x27;s so crazy that now the GMA and ABS-CBN Networks are together. And now we&#x27;re able to really grow our friendships with other artists and like-minded people. So I think that was the best thing,” Emilio followed up.<div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756268196951metro exclusive pbb celeb collab emilio daez embed 2 (2).jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756037736573mili pbb celeb collab.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>MiLi: Michael Sager and Emilio Daez</div><div> </div>Although his PBB stay is relatively short, the Love At First Spike actor shared that he developed a special bond with his fellow housemates. “I look up to everyone. Because everyone in the PBB house had their own growth experience. I can&#x27;t say that I look up to one more than the other because I really look up to all of them. Because I love them all.”He additionally stressed why it’s impossible to single out a person he admires in the house, saying, “Lahat talaga! Of course, my duo is one of them. But like I said, we&#x27;re really all one family. It&#x27;s hard to choose a family, &#x27;di ba kung sino ‘yung favorite mo.”Emilio might have had a short stay in PBB, but he didn’t come out empty-handed. He gained new experiences, met new friends, and most importantly, took home valuable lessons. He later shared with Metro.Style the one that resonated with him the most: “Take risks. I think that&#x27;s the biggest thing that I learned from Kuya. It&#x27;s really important to take risks. I know it can be scary, but once you dive deep, you&#x27;ll never really know what you can do until you do it.”He embraces these lessons, especially as he establishes himself further in showbiz. PBB helped him become a better person, saying, “Kasi sa Bahay ni Kuya ang dami mo talagang matutunan, and I learned so much from that house, and I will bring these lifelong lessons with me.“<div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756021655509metro exclusive pbb celeb collab emilio daez embed 2 (1).jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div> </div>Photography by Dix PerezMetro head: Christina LopezSittings editors: Geolette Esguerra, Kate Paras-Santiago, Randz Manucom, and Grace Libero-CruzCreative director: Chookie CruzStylist: Edlene Cabral, assisted by Bullet ReyesGrooming: Joan GarciaFashion associate: Carla BuyoEditorial assistants: Iya Baring and Krystel MatiasVideo producers: Giselle Interior and Tricia MatiasVideographer: Charisse Tinio&#x27;s NicePrint PhotoArt director: Alfred AmadoShoot assistants: Mariana Xerez-Burgos, Sophia Ancheta, and Katrice CuasonSpecial thanks to Pinoy Big Brother, Marcus Vinuya, Patch Bungubung, Charina Fernandez, Thess Gubi, and Star Magic
