Career

2024-present: Pinoy Big Brother, music and acting ventures

In July 2024, Celmar was introduced as one of the contestants on the reality competition series Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11, with the moniker "Cheerfu-Langga ng Cebu" (). She finished the season in second place. In March 2025, Celmar was featured in the music video for BGYO's "Divine". On May 30, she released her first extended play (EP) titled B Luvd (stylized in all lowercase). Celmar stated that the EP had ballads, pop, and R&B, adding that "halos lahat ng genre andon" (). It contained five tracks: "Eyes Open", "B Luvd", "Ligaya" (), "Miss Senti(mental)", and "Pahuway" (). Celmar is credited for co-writing "Pahuway", a pop rock ballad with a mix of Cebuano and English lyrics, as well as providing back-up vocals. Writing for The Philippine Star's news portal Latest Chika, Julienne Loreto praised Celmar's "stunning" belts in the song. She also wrote two other tracks on the EP, "Eyes Open" and "Miss Senti(mental)".

The EP came with a solo concert, Meteor Rain!, held at the SM North EDSA Skydome on the same day of the record launch. Elijah Pareño of Rolling Stone Philippines criticized the event, pointing out that Celmar was a very new artist at the time. He wrote that the decision to give Celmar a solo concert before she had released any original music indicated that concerts were no longer about art, but bankability. In June, Celmar portrayed Olivia Alcantara in the drama series Love at First Spike. On November 29, her 19th birthday, Celmar was unveiled as one of Star Hunt Academy's idol trainees. In December, she released a cover of the 2015 song "Thank You For The Love", which also featured Kai Montinola and Kolette Madelo.
