Once upon a time, a young girl named Kira Balinger dreamed of stepping into the spotlight, and now, she's coating her star with much, much luster. From taking small steps in the industry to becoming one of the most dependable Gen Z stars in the Kapamilya pool of talents, her journey has been nothing short of magical. It’s no wonder she has earned the title "Hopeful Belle ng Cavite" as she takes on an exciting new chapter in "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition."

The moniker quite reminds us one of Kira’s most memorable roles—Hope from "Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin," where she portrayed the love interest of Grae Fernandez’s character. Where are the KiRae shippers at?

Apart from that, Kira has taken on a variety of roles that showcase her range as an actress. Most recently, she starred in the rom-com "How To Spot a Red Flag." She impressed audiences with her action chops as the warrior Luna in the 2022 "Darna" series. She also took on a lead role in the digital series "Beach Bros," where she was paired with Brent Manalo,—who is now her fellow PBB housemate!

Fun fact: Kira is also a talented painter! We’d love to see her showcase this artistic side inside Bahay ni Kuya. But for now, she’s already painting enthusiasm with her bright and beaming selfies taken in the hotel where she stayed before entering the Big Brother house. 

Catch "PBB Celebrity Collab Edition," weeknights at 10:00 p.m. and on weekends at 6:15 p.m. via GMA Network. Viewers can also watch it online via live streams on Pinoy Big Brother's YouTube Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and iWantTFC.
