John Clifford, a budding talent from Cebu, has been introduced as one of the new housemates in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0." Known by the nickname "Ang Dutiful Langga ng Cebu," Clifford made his debut on the reality show's premiere alongside fellow Kapuso artists including Caprice Cayetano, Anton Vinzon, Waynona Collings, Lee Victor, and Ashley Sarmiento.

At just 19 years old, Clifford is recognized as one of GMA Network’s up-and-coming stars. He first gained public attention as part of the Sparkle Teens 2023 roster. Recently, he was honored with the Outstanding Youth of the Philippines award by the Philippine Outstanding Men & Women Awards, further cementing his rising status in the entertainment industry. In addition, he claimed the PMPC Best New Male TV Personality award for his role in the hit series "Pepito Manaloto."

Beyond "Pepito Manaloto," Clifford has taken on the character JC Serrano in the GMA youth-oriented show "MAKA."

Outside of acting, Clifford is an enthusiastic musician and a devoted fan of international pop icon Taylor Swift, having attended her "The Eras" world tour concert in Singapore in March 2024. He also showcases his musical skills by singing and playing the guitar, a hobby he shares on social media with covers like One Direction’s "Little Things."

Clifford completed his senior high school education in Cebu at the Maria Montessori International School, where he specialized in the Humanities and Social Sciences strand.

His blend of talent, youth, and dedication continues to captivate audiences as he embarks on this new journey in the "Pinoy Big Brother" house.
