Caprice Cayetano, the young actress and former Kapuso child star, is quickly cementing her name not just in the reality television sphere but also in the hearts of viewers as a standout housemate in Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Collab 2.0. Despite her short time inside the famous Big Brother House, her exemplary behavior, strong work ethic, and appealing personality have earned her immediate admiration from fellow housemates and an overwhelming seal of approval from the public, many of whom are already calling her a “Big Winner material.”
The Rise of a Well-Raised Star
A common sentiment echoing across social media platforms is the praise for Caprice’s upbringing. Netizens are quick to point out that the young actress appears to be well-mannered, disciplined, and raised with strong moral values.
Caprice is not a fresh face in the entertainment world. Viewers have watched her grow up on screen, establishing herself early in the industry:
Early Roles: She first gained notice in a supporting role in the 2016 GMA series Poor Senorita.
Breakthrough: Her career took a significant turn in 2017 when she joined the supernatural hit Kambal Karibal, where she played the younger version of Kriselda (Pauline Mendoza’s character).
Extensive Portfolio: Her acting credits include other notable drama series such as Mulawin vs. Ravena, Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka, Asawa Ko, Karibal Ko, and Prima Donnas.
Recent Success: Caprice recently earned further praise for her role as a Filipino-Chinese teenager in the primetime action drama Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila, where her mature performance surprised and impressed many.
Her talent is further validated by industry insiders, with the Sparkle Workshops Team reportedly naming her as one of their “standout students” during her workshop days. She is currently starring as Jessica in the GMA Afternoon Prime series Cruz Versus Cruz.
From Showbiz to Culinary Royalty
Beyond her acting career, Caprice comes from a highly successful and respected family in the culinary world. Her father is the well-known Chef George Mendez, the owner of the progressive Japanese restaurant Modan. Chef George is also the executive chef and research and development director for the Italian Casual Dining Brand Chibo, a venture that was co-owned by the late, revered chef and restaurateur, Margarita Fores. The Chibo Group recently opened a new Japanese concept restaurant in BGC in September 2025, marking a long-standing collaboration between Chef Gaita and Chef George.
The Power of the Aldub Nation: Caprice as “The Child of Aldub”
A massive surge of support for Caprice comes from one of the most powerful fandoms in Philippine television history: the Aldub Nation, the massive fanbase of the former phenomenal love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (Aldub).
Caprice’s celebrity connection stems from the Eat Bulaga‘s Kalyeserye segment:
The Aldub Legacy: The segment famously chronicled the journey of Alden and Yaya Dub (Maine), which culminated in a wedding.
The Daughter: Following their televised wedding, the love team was “given” twin children in the storyline, and Caprice played the role of Sharmain, one of their daughters.
Movie Spinoff: Caprice’s character, Sharmain, returned in the 2017 film Trip Ubusan: The Lolas Versus Zombies, where she celebrated her 9th birthday with the three grandmothers (Lola Nidora, Lola Tidora, and Lola Tinidora). Though Alden and Maine did not physically appear, their voices were heard interacting with Sharmain, a detail that delighted the loyal fanbase.
For the Aldub Nation, Caprice is more than just an actress; she is the symbolic “anak ng Aldub” (child of Aldub). This emotional connection has translated into an exceptionally strong voting bloc. Fans are resolute in their commitment, with some netizens declaring Caprice as a sure “Big Four” bet and pledging to always use BBS (Big Brother Save) votes to keep her safe from eviction. One ardent fan even quipped, “Caprice is the daughter of Aldub who has a 41 million backup,” referencing the estimated size and power of the fanbase.
The support is so strong that fans have even requested that Maine Mendoza, Alden Richards, and the three “Lolas” be invited as house guests for a much-anticipated “mini-reunion” inside the PBB House.
OCD and the ‘Cleaning Diva’ Personality
Beyond her connections, Caprice’s own personality has become a TikTok sensation. She has earned a reputation for her remarkable diligence and attention to detail when it comes to household chores.
Work Ethic: Caprice has been visibly hands-on in cleaning the PBB House, showcasing a level of meticulousness that impressed the viewers.
Viral Scene: One viral moment showed Caprice carefully inspecting a glass she had just washed, ensuring its cleanliness matched another, perfectly spotless glass. She was also seen fastidiously arranging cups to ensure they were aligned perfectly on the hooks.
Self-Diagnosis: Caprice admitted that her parents taught her the importance of cleanliness, and she jokingly admitted that she feels she might have a touch of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) due to her compulsion to organize and tidy up the house perfectly.
Budding Love Team and Housemate Dynamics
While Caprice maintains that she is not looking for a love team inside the PBB House, her charming interactions have sparked a potential pairing with fellow housemate Lee Victor. Netizens have already coined a tandem name for them: CapLee. The friendly teasing began when housemates discovered that Lee had a crush on Caprice.
In addition to Lee, another Kapamilya housemate, Cristal Mej, has been noticed for her kind and protective concern for Caprice, ever since their first night inside the house.
Caprice Cayetano’s blend of undeniable talent, impeccable manners, powerful celebrity backing, and relatable, meticulous personality has made her an instant favorite. Viewers are excited to see more of her genuine and endearing character unfold.
