Bianca Gonzalez is the main presenter of Pinoy Big Brother, and was a celebrity finalist on Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 1.
During Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 1, Bianca had overall great relationships inside the house, most notably with Zanjoe Marudo, avoiding all nominations except on week 7, when she got nominated for the first and only time. After surviving that eviction, she became one of the finalists on the Big Night, in which she placed 3rd.
She became one of the main hosts starting the following season, Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition 1, when she hosted the nomination and eviction nights and its late night companion show, Pinoy Big Brother Uplate.
During the penultimate episode of the main program Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2's afternoon companion show Pinoy Big Brother Über, Bianca briefly returned inside the house to interview the Big Four finalists, along with several actors from the then-upcoming show Kung Fu Kids. During the course of the interview, Big Brother surprised her by telling her she would be the last celebrity houseguest of the season and would be staying inside the house overnight. She left the house the next day (Day 83) and immediately hosted the final episode of Über.
Bianca became the main host of the program after Toni Gonzaga left the program during Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10.
