Shuvee Etrata’s atmospheric rise in showbiz continues, with new projects adding to her growing list of achievements alongside her regular hosting gigs on television.
Alongside fellow Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition housemate Charlie Fleming, Shuvee will appear in the upcoming series Master Cutter, sharing the screen with Dingdong Dantes. She’s also part of the film Bawal Kang Tumingin, another project she and Charlie are working on together.
Both productions are still under wraps, but the attention around Shuvee is building. “Even our big bosses say they have so much belief in me, and I really wonder why,” she said during a media conference. “When I entered the house, it was hard for me to be real. I was scared to be judged and not loved for who I truly am. But Bianca [de Vera] encouraged me to just be myself.”
That shift made a difference. “The moment I stayed true to myself, people started embracing me,” she said. “Everything feels overwhelming now. I’m aware of the growing opportunities and followers, but more than anything, I feel a great responsibility to raise awareness and be a good person.”
Since her PBB stint, Shuvee has stayed busy, appearing regularly on shows like It’s Showtime and Unang Hirit, while working with various brands. She admits she now carries herself with more care, aware that people—especially younger fans—are watching. “I used to be carefree, but now I feel more tame,” she said with a laugh.
She also shrugged off any speculation about possible onscreen romances. When asked about the chance of working with a “TDH” (Tall, Dark, and Handsome), a description fans often connect to Anthony Constantino or Donny Pangilinan, she simply replied, “There are so many TDHs in this world! If work comes with a TDH, why not? Let’s make the most of it as long as we stay true to ourselves.”
For Shuvee, staying grounded amid rising visibility seems to be what’s setting her apart and keeping audiences intrigued.
Meanwhile, since exiting the PBB house, the Sparkle housemates have entered exciting phases in their careers.
This season’s Sparkle First Big Winner, Mika Salamanca, has joined Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre and recently reached 11 million TikTok followers. Will Ashley is preparing for Bar Boys 2, while Charlie is also set for new acting projects under Sparkle. AZ Martinez joins Mika in Sang’gre, marking her first major TV break.
Other housemates are also steadily advancing in showbiz. Ashley Ortega, who joined the house earlier in the season, now stars in Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila. Michael Sager and Josh Ford are growing their acting portfolios, with Josh appearing in MAKA: Next Chapter. Vince Maristela is part of Sang’gre. Meanwhile, Dustin Yu will appear in the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival entry Shake, Rattle & Roll XVII and in an episode of Regal Studio Presents.
