He recalls his first real TV gig happening around age eight or nine with a commercial appearance, and let’s just say, he’s been in the spotlight ever since.</p><p>Heath’s TikTok fans won’t be surprised: Heath is <strong>a certified skateboard fan</strong>, shredding ramps whenever he gets the chance. And if <strong>streaming</strong> calls his name again, don’t be shocked—he might just dive back into it soon.</p><p>As for chill time, Heath is all about <strong><em>Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia</em></strong>—and chances are, he’s watching it with his three adorable dogs, because yes, he’s a proud <strong>fur dad</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774840307944METRO ID PBB HEATH JORNALES.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ashley Sarmiento</strong></div><p>Ashley has grown up in front of our eyes as <strong>a child actress</strong>, but there’s more to her than acting: she’s got <strong>music</strong> in her life, too! In her free time, she loves <strong>playing instruments</strong> and <strong>writing songs</strong>, so maybe a music career isn’t too far away.</p><p>She’s also<strong> a big fan of books</strong>, and when it comes to shows or movies, <strong>romantic comedies</strong>, especially Hollywood ones, are her favorite.</p><p>And about love? Ashley admits she has a girl-crush on <strong>Kathryn Bernardo </strong>and <strong>Taylor Swift</strong>, who are admirable for their talent and kindness. As for her own heart, she says it’s <strong>full of love right now</strong>, and that’s sure to make her fans happy.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774712275876METRO ID PBB ASHLEY SARMIENTO.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Princess Aliyah</strong></div><p>Princess may be known for her acting chops, but did you know she actually kicked off her career belting out tunes on <strong>singing reality shows</strong> as a kid? She revealed that her <strong>love for singing</strong> started at just three years old, thanks to some impromptu lessons from their house helper.</p><p>These days, she’s swapping microphones for stage lights, <strong>actively auditioning for musicals </strong>around the country.</p><p>And here’s a fun twist: she’s a full-on <strong>anime fan</strong>, with <em><strong>The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.</strong></em> topping her watchlist, but don’t even think about trying to scare her—jump-scare horror? Not her vibe.</p><p>And action fans, take note: she trained in<strong> martial arts </strong>and <strong>arnis</strong> for a movie, and now the princess is dreaming of stepping into a badass role <em>a la</em> <strong>Lara Croft</strong>. </p><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774859216662METRO ID PBB PRINCESS ALIYAH final.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Lee Victor</strong></div><p>From <strong>sports</strong> to <strong>books</strong> and <strong>music</strong>, Lee proves he’s got range. The multi-talented personality even shared that he’s <strong>a serious chess player</strong>,<strong></strong> boasting a 1900 rating, which is considered impressively high and puts him among the top players in his club.</p><p>When it comes to <strong>reading</strong>, Lee is pretty much game for anything. But lately, he’s been hooked on <strong><em>Project Hail Mary</em></strong><em></em><em></em>,<em></em><em></em><strong><em></em></strong> a story he recently finished and is now excited to watch on the big screen with his mom. He’s also deep into <strong>mythologies</strong>, whether it’s Greek, Roman, or Egyptian, honestly, name it, and he probably knows it.</p><p>Music, meanwhile, is a non-negotiable part of his daily life. The <strong>OPM lover</strong> shared, “<em>Sa lahat ng ginagawa ko—</em><em>natutulog</em>,<em> nagbabasa</em>,<em> naliligo</em>, <em>naghuhugas ng pinggan</em>, <em>nagjo</em>-jogging,<em> o naglalaro ng</em> video games—music has to be there.” It’s exactly this love for music that pushed him to pick up the <strong>guitar</strong>.</p><p>And for a fun little personal twist? Lee revealed he would happily eat <strong>spicy corned beef loaded with potatoes and thinly sliced onions </strong>every single day, no complaints at all.</p><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774713850509METRO ID PBB LEE VICTOR.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div><strong>Clifford</strong></div><p>Clifford is ready to turn the next page now that he’s out of the <em>PBB</em> house, and it looks like he’s eyeing the perfect project: a <strong>romantic comedy</strong>. “I feel like <em>sa</em> age <em>namin</em>,<em> ’yun ’yung pinakabagay din</em>. I’m really a fan, personally, <em>ng mga </em>rom-com movie,” he told Metro.Style.</p><p>When asked about his favorite, Clifford couldn’t pin down just one, but <a href="https://metro.style/culture/2026/3/19/what-we-loved-about-the-colleen-hoover-adaptation-reminders-of-him-2335" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>Reminders of Him </em></strong></a>immediately came to mind. Surprisingly, he’s also <strong>a fan of horror flicks</strong>—even if in real life, he admits he’s super “<em><strong>matatakutin</strong></em>.”</p><p>Fans inside the house couldn’t help but notice Clifford’s voice has a <strong>Justin Bieber </strong>vibe, and the <em>Kapuso</em> housemate says being compared to his idol is nothing short of a dream. “<em>Kaya</em> every time <em>na sinasabi ng tao na kaboses ko raw si</em> Justin Bieber,<em> hindi talaga ako makapaniwala pero sobrang </em>compliment<em> ’yun para sa akin</em>.”</p><p>His love for music sparked his<strong> love for writing songs</strong>, showing there’s more to Clifford than just charm and good looks. And, for the style-savvy side of him? He’s <strong>a self-proclaimed fashion boss</strong>: during their recent event, he proudly dressed himself from head to toe.</p><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774859335020METRO ID PBB CLIFFORD final.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Marco Masa</strong></div><p>Beyond his iconic <strong>child star </strong>roles, Marco has also made a name for himself in the digital space as a <strong>gamer</strong>, especially as a streamer of <strong>Call of Duty: Mobile</strong>. But here’s something not everyone knows: he was already mastering the art of multitasking at a young age.</p><p>Back in elementary school, Marco wasn’t just busy with showbiz. He was also <strong></strong>a <strong>varsity player </strong>and a <strong>competitive chess enthusiast</strong>, even taking home a championship title in one of the tournaments he joined. And in between all that? He was already building a passion for <strong>collecting mini toy cars and LEGO</strong>, a hobby that’s still very much alive today.</p><p>These days, while chess and <strong>basketball </strong>remain part of his story, Marco has found a new favorite sport: <strong>billiards</strong>. It’s something he now enjoys playing with his family, making it both a pastime and a bonding moment.</p><p>And in a fun twist, Marco shared another personal detail: <strong>he’s actually his own stylist</strong>. “Actually, <em>ako lang nag</em>-style <em>sa sarili ko</em>, and most of the time <em>sa mga ganap k</em>o, <em>ako lang </em>usually <em>nag</em>-style,” he revealed, proving he’s got both game and style.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774714489675METRO ID PBB MARCO MASA.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Produced by <strong>Grace Libero-Cruz</strong></p><p>Photography by <strong>Rxandy Capinpin</strong></p><p>Interviewers and videographers: <strong>Lance Joseph Martinez</strong>, <strong>Arci Claveria</strong>, and <strong>Tricia Matias</strong></p><p>Layout by <strong>Alfred Amado</strong></p><p>Special thanks to <strong>Sparkle GMA Artist Center</strong></p>
