Josh Ford, Kira Balinger react to 'healthiest ship' comment from PBB fans
Dubbed KiSh after their duo name, Josh and Kira were actually the OG love team of the season. Their closeness developed early on inside Bahay ni Kuya, as they were each other's first duo.
Several fans have also called them the "healthiest ship" that came out of the PBB collab, as their fans rarely get involved in shipping wars and their bond has been true inside and outside PBB.
"Thank you for all of those kind words sa mga nagsasabi ng ganun, we're really just chill. I'm just really happy na sobrang tibay ng friendship namin," Kira told GMA News Online on the sidelines of the GMA Gala 2025.
"We're just having fun as it goes, just going with the flow, positive lang, no bad vibes," Josh added.
The Kapamilya actress also jokingly called the Kapuso actor the "Great Wall of Josh" when told about fans noticing his "bakod" skills when it comes to Kira.
"Hindi ko nga rin po napapansin pero sa mga edit na nakikita ko bumabakod pala ko," Josh said.
While Josh is not being shipped to another housemate, some fans are shipping Kira to Emilio Daez and even Will Ashley.
Asked for their reaction, Josh and Kira said it's totally fine.
"Of course it's ok naman, we love the fans, we love the fandoms, and I'm sure hindi lang naman sila 'yung sinusuportahan nila, pati na rin kaming lahat," Josh said.
"Happy shipping," Kira added.
Josh and Kira also said they are manifesting for a KiSh project.
"I really do hope na mangyari 'yun. Kahit magkaiba kami ng network, I'm sure the collab—colLOVE—will happen.
Together with their fellow housemates, Josh and Kira will entertain fans in The Big ColLOVE fan con at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday.
Tickets for the event are already sold out, but fans can still avail of livestream access.

In celebration of GMA Integrated News pillar Mel Tiangco's upcoming birthday on August 10, the GMA Kapuso Foundation along with the Philippine Red Cross held a bloodletting activity on Friday through the foundation's Sagip Dugtong Buhay project. According to Tiangco's report in "24 Oras," a total of 1,278 blood bags were collected as of 6:50 p.m. on Friday. Among those who donated blood at the event was 64-year-old Victoria Marcelino, who traveled all the way to Quezon City from Baguio City. "Pinaghandaan ko po tapos pinagpray ko kasi nga po 'yung pamasahe, eh awa ng Diyos ay nagbigay ang Panginoon ng biyaya kaya may pamasahe po ako papunta dito. Wala man po akong maiambag ngayon baka sa mga susunod meron po, pero ito pong buhay ko naihandog ko naman po sa ibang tao," she said. Tiangco, who is also GMA Kapuso Foundation's special adviser, graced the bloodletting activity earlier today, where she honored those who took their time to help others and donate blood. "Meron tao kang mapapagaling saan mang lupalop siya naroroon, meron kayong taong mapapasaya, meron taong mabibigyan niyo ng pag-asa sa buhay, merong taong nangangailangan na ikaw ang sasagip. Bata man 'yan, matanda, babae, lalake, napakalaking biyaya ang nakalaan para sa inyong lahat," said Tiangco. According to Philippine Red Cross Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang, the non-profit organization has been working with GMA for 29 years now. "All those years, ang ating nakolektang dugo ay nasa 73,373 units or bags of blood," she said. Several performers brought joy to the bloodletting activity, including Cloud 7, Neathan Tan, Ronnie Liang, Rollan Millan, Princess Cañete, Cye Soriano, PNP Dancers, Tessbomb, Nadj Zablan and Gazzingan, Noli Bernardo, Lady Gracia, Papa Yohan, Barangy LS 97.1 Forever. Meanwhile, Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes dedicated a special birthday video message to Tiangco at the end of the segment. "I would like to say that I thank you for everything, for being an inspiration not just to me but for everyone here in GMA and I wish for your birthday syempre ang gusto nating lahat eh magkaroon po kayo ng parating maayos na kalusugan," said Dingdong Dantes. Sparkle stars Allen Ansay and Sofia Pablo also greeted the veteran broadcast journalist a happy birthday and wished her good health.

Zack Tabudlo says coaching 'The Voice Kids PH' is a full circle moment
Before his 'surreal' success as a singer-songwriter, Zack Tabudlo got his start as a contestant on 'The Voice Kids' back in 2014, but got eliminated early on. Now, he is the talent search's newest judge in its upcoming edition. In a group interview, Zack said this is 'definitely' a full circle moment for him. 'Until now, I can't believe I'm in this GMA studio doing pictorials with Ben&Ben and sina Julie and Kuya Billy [Crawford],' Zack answered GMA News Online. 'It's crazy. It's a crazy feeling. I think this is sort of those things na parang grabe, I'm so blessed,' he added. 'And this is such a dream of mine that I never expected that would happen, but it's here. So it gives a lot of courage to these kids also to have a dream.' As someone who has been in their shoes before, Zack shared that he wants to impart to the kids that it is not the end of the world, no matter what happens. 'One big thing for kids or like contestants who fall out of the competition, unang iisipin niyan, 'Bbos na 'yung dreams ko, wala na,'' he said. 'When I was their age, honestly, I felt that way also. That's why, in a way, that's the advantage of being a coach kasi I feel for these kids, I know what they went through." According to Zack, that he gets to be a mentor and coach to the contestants now is "evidence na when you actually really dream and you love that dream of yours and your craft, nothing can really stop you from doing what you love to do." He added, "And ikaw lang din 'yun eh, ikaw lang mag-pu-push sa sarili mo.' Zack, along with Ben&Ben twins Paolo and Miguel Benjamin Guico, will be joining the upcoming season of "The Voice Kids Philippines" for the first time as coaches. Julie Anne San Jose and Billy Crawford are also returning as coaches. Production for the show's next season is now underway and will air on GMA Network soon! Zack signed to US-based record label Mercury Records in May. His latest single, 'Manloloko' came out in April. Zack is best known for the songs 'Pano' and 'Give Me Your Forever.' —CDC, GMA Integrated News
