Ever wondered what it’s like to chat with PBB: Celebrity Collab Edition breakout star Michael Sager? The Filipino-Canadian actor and model opens up about his Viber habits, favorite emojis, and the group chats he can’t live without.
Michael’s last group message? A simple “I miss you guys!”—a sentiment that sums up his friendly, down-to-earth vibe. When it comes to emojis, he loves the playful winking face sticking its tongue out, though his go-to reaction is the heart emoji, especially for work-related messages.
One of his favorite group chats is called JHOSMIO, a circle that started during his PBB days with fellow housemate Emilio Daez (“MiLi”) and girl group BINI members Stacey and Jhoanna. The group continues to meet for mini reunions and share laughs long after the show ended.
Michael admits he’s not the fastest replier. “Sometimes I reply in my head—I see the notification, think I replied, and then realize I didn’t,” he says. Still, he enjoys voice notes, calling them “cute” and “sincere,” especially when calls aren’t possible. And when it comes to debates, his group’s most recent was lighthearted: a showdown over which sticker he sent was the cutest.
Fans who can’t chat with Michael directly can still get a piece of the fun: he’s now Rakuten Viber’s newest ambassador, and his exclusive free audio sticker pack is available for a limited time. It’s the next best thing to hearing him greet you “good night” or remind you to “magtubig ka ha”—dimples included. Download the pack from the Viber app before it disappears.
