A special Star Magic Spotlight presscon marked the reunion of Kapamilya PBB Collab Big 4 and housemates at the iconic Pinoy Big Brother House last July 14. It brought together the Kapamilya PBB Big 4 Brent Manalo, Ralph de Leon, Esnyr Ranollo, River Joseph and ex-housemates Kira Balinger, Xyriel Manabat, Klarisse de Guzman, and Bianca de Vera.
Fresh off their memorable season, the Kapamilya Big 4 and ex-housemates shared how life has changed, what they’ve learned, and how they are paying forward all the love and support since stepping out of Bahay ni Kuya.
Kapamilya Big winner Brent Manalo shared, “Grabe yung experience, parang fever dream talaga, I didn’t expect na ganon karami ang mag show-up para sa aming lahat. Kasi before, kapag nag ma-mall show ako, siguro may mga ilan…I guess twenty people, but now, I think hundreds talaga, if not thousands of people who showed up for us. Hopefully hindi matapos itong pakiramdam. I’m always gonna be grateful, and I’m sure ‘yung love nilang nabigay sa’kin, susuklian ko talaga ‘yun, hindi ako titigil mag trabaho nang mabuti.”
When asked about the lesson PBB has imparted to his life, Ralph De Leon said, “The biggest lesson I’ve learned talaga is to trust God’s perfect timing… Mas napalapit ako to my faith here in the house, kasi when I can’t run to anyone else with my problem, or my thoughts, who else better to go to diba? Grabe rin ‘yung naging journey ko dito, na-evict na ako lahat-lahat tapos nakabalik ako and nakapasok pa ako ng Big 4, and all of that I feel is because of Him also. ”
“Mas nag-open ‘yung mga doors for opportunities para sa’kin at para sa pamilya ko, at the same time, nung pumasok ako dito parang wala pa akong strength talaga masayado. Nung paglabas ko, masasabi ko talaga na strong na ako since napagdaanan na namin ‘yung hamon ni Kuya,” Esynr said.
River also expressed his reaction after the internet labeled him as a green flag in this season: “Siyempre it’s an honor to be called as a green flag. When it comes to pressure, wala masyado, kasi I guess throughout the season I just being myself, doing what I want to do. I guess moving forward, siyempre I’ll have to be myself lang.”
Before the presscon ended, the Head of ABS-CBN production and Star Magic, Direk Laurenti Dyogi, shared some meaningful words for the Kapamilya housemates, “I hope you all remain humble; minahal kayo ng tao, and sana yung pagmamahal na ‘yun, you keep that core memory…Hinding hindi kayo makakalimutan ng sambayanan dahil sa pinakita niyong samahan, at pagmamahal sa isa’t isa.”
