Kai Montinola poses in the Dubai desert with Jarren Garcia.

Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 celebrity Kai Montinola wrapped up her first-ever trip to Dubai with a heartfelt message to fans and a look ahead to her next big milestone: the release of her debut album. “A short but sweet stay that I’ll cherish forever! I am beyond grateful to those who were there to support in Dubai and from afar! Thank you, Dubai!" the singer posted, reflecting on her visit after performing at Kalayaan 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre alongside fellow PBB alum Jarren Garcia. While in Dubai, Montinola embraced the full experience — from a private cruise in Dubai Marina to desert photo shoots in a black abaya and red flowing dress. She also shared snaps with Garcia, dressed in traditional Emirati attire. The actress also unleashed her daredevil side with a skydive, describing it as "one of the best feelings ever". Back home in the Philippines, Montinola is gearing up for the launch of her debut album Kai’s The Limit, scheduled for release on June 28 through a concert. The album includes seven tracks spanning multiple genres and dialects, including Bisaya. “I’m from Cebu and I would want to represent that I’m Cebuana and I’m proud to be Cebuana. Therefore, you might be able to hear a song of mine that will be in Bisaya,” she shared in an interview with ABS-CBN. Though the tracks are not self-written, Montinola hinted that she hopes to release her original compositions in the future. “I have written a couple of songs before. And I plan to maybe use one of my compositions with different artists—maybe not in this album, but soon.” ICA/Expat Media
