As the historic PBB Celebrity Collab Season nears its climax with the Big Winners announcement just weeks away, one housemate’s heartfelt fight to remain in the competition has captured the hearts of many. Esnyr Ranollo, a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, is determined to secure his spot in the coveted Big 4, not just for himself but for the representation of the community he passionately stands for.
During a recent open forum with ex-housemates who re-entered the house as duo challengers, Esnyr bared his soul, revealing the deep motivations behind his relentless drive. He said:
“Para makaabot dito ng walang connection, pure hardwork lang.”
Esnyr emphasizes that his journey to this point has been fueled purely by dedication and perseverance, without any external advantages. This authenticity resonates with fans who admire his genuine commitment.
He continued, reflecting on a recent emotional moment:
“At siguro lalo na kahapon na sobrang nasaktan din ako kasi si Ate Klang isa siya sa pinaka safe space dito kasi dati sabi ko kahit si Ate Klang lang yung ma Big 4 ok na as long as may representation.”
Esnyr reveals how the departure of Ate Klang, someone he considered a safe space in the house, deeply affected him. He had hoped that at least one member of the LGBTQIA+ community would make it to the Big 4, ensuring representation.
But Esnyr feels a powerful responsibility now:
“Pero I feel like nabigay to sakin kasi may natitira pang bakla dito sa bahay at ilalaban ko yun.”
With Ate Klang gone, Esnyr sees himself as the remaining LGBTQIA+ representative, ready to fight for that spot and for the community’s visibility.
He passionately declares: “At doon talaga ako kakapit na gusto ko na may bakla sa Big 4 at gusto ko rin na matulungan talaga yung pamilya ko.”
His mission is twofold: to ensure LGBTQIA+ presence in the Big 4 and to support his family through this journey.
Esnyr’s vision extends beyond the house: “Gusto ko na 1 day pag mapanood ako ng baklang bata na taga probinsya sa TV na ‘ah may bakla pala sa PBB na taga probinsya din.’ Gusto ko na ifollow niya yung footstep ko.”
He hopes to inspire young LGBTQIA+ individuals from the provinces, showing them that they too can dream big and succeed.
Ending on a note of quiet confidence, Esnyr says, “At feeling ko that alone somehow deserve ko naman tong spot na to.”
His heartfelt words have struck a chord with viewers, making Esnyr not just a contender for the Big 4 but a symbol of hope and representation in this landmark season of PBB.
As the finale approaches, all eyes are on Esnyr Ranollo — fighting not just for a place in the Big 4, but for the dreams and voices of the LGBTQIA+ community nationwide.
