For years, it has been a mystery to the Filipino people who the real “Kuya” behind the iconic voice of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) — the powerful voice that commands, guides, and sometimes scolds the housemates — is. But now, the long-standing secret of the PBB House is slowly being revealed!
🎤 Who is KUYA?
The voice behind Kuya is Johnny Manahan? No! Director Laurenti Dyogi? No way! The real “Kuya” is [Big Brother Voice Actor] — who for a long time remained anonymous, even though he is the one most often heard across the country every night!
While several names have been floated in the theories, the most widely accepted “Kuya” is Laurence “Toni” M. Gonzales, a veteran voice talent and director who has been part of ABS-CBN behind the camera. Although the network has not officially confirmed it, several insiders and former housemates have confirmed that he is the “Master Voice” of Big Brother PH.
🔊 The iconic voice
From the lines:
“Housemates, I heard your conversation…”
“You will have a delicate task…”
“Reminder: Breaking Kuya’s rules is prohibited.”
Kuya’s voice has become part of the reality TV culture in the Philippines, and many fans say it is one of the reasons why every episode of PBB is so eagerly awaited.
🤐 Why does he have to hide his identity?
According to the production staff, the mystery behind Kuya’s voice is part of the “illusion of authority” inside the house. Not showing him deepens the respect and authority of his character among the housemates. One producer even said:
“When you don’t see him, he used to be more like a ‘God’ in the house. There is respect, there is mystery.”
🎬 Off the mic: Who is he really?
Toni Gonzales, if that’s who he is, is a humble person, according to those who know him. Quiet on social media, rarely gives interviews, and prefers to stay behind the spotlight. But despite his anonymity, he can be considered one of the most influential personalities on television — even if we don’t see him.
🧡 Kuya’s legacy on PBB
He’s not just a voice. Kuya has been:
A guide to the young housemates
A mirror of discipline and good manners
A conscience and sometimes even a friend to those who grew up in front of the camera
📢 Bonus: Is there a chance that Kuya’s voice will be replaced?
As long as the PBB format is alive, he remains irreplaceable. But many say, if there is ever a reboot, it will be difficult to match the depth, ferocity, and authority of Kuya’s original voice.
Now, you know. Behind the voice that makes people cry, laugh, and cheer on PBB, is a person who wholeheartedly plays his role — not just as a spokesperson, but as a pillar of Kuya’s home.
🗣️ “Kuya, thank you for all the lessons and memories.” 💙📺
