Pinoy Big Brother, more popularly known by its abbreviated title PBB, is the Philippine version of the Big Brother reality game show franchise. The word Pinoy in the title is a colloquial term for the Filipino people. It is currently broadcast on pay TV via Kapamilya Channel, on free-to-air via A2Z, and internationally via ABS-CBN's international channel TFC in various countries worldwide. It was formerly broadcast on the ABS-CBN network and its sister network Studio 23 (later S+A) from 2005 until 2019, and on TV5 during Connect's final week from March 8 to 14, 2021. Originally hosted by Willie Revillame, Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez, it premiered on August 21, 2005.[1][2] The uncut 24/7 version of the series can also be seen on the internet through Kumu, a Philippine online livestreaming app, as part of their partnership on Kumunity 10, as carried over from Connect.[3][4] Kumunity Season 10, the recently concluded season, was hosted by Bianca Gonzalez and Robi Domingo.

Other essential elements of the Big Brother franchise are present, such as weekly and daily challenges, the confession room, and the voice known only as "Big Brother," sometimes referred to as "Kuya" (Tagalog for an elder male sibling). Pinoy Big Brother uses their tagline "Teleserye ng Totoong Buhay" or the "Real Life Soap Opera".[1]
