Superstar host and comedian Vice Ganda made a dazzling entrance into Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition as a house guest—but it wasn’t just her signature wit and star power that left a mark.
It was the heartfelt assurance she gave to Kapamilya housemate Esnyr Ranollo, the only openly queer contestant this season, that resonated deeply with fans and housemates alike.
During her stay, Vice seized the moment not just to entertain but to empower. Speaking to all housemates, she emphasized the boundless potential within each of them. “Sa inyo namang lahat, walang imposible. All of you are limitless,” she said, before turning specifically to Esnyr: “and that includes you…”
In a powerful exchange that has since stirred emotion across social media, Vice assured Esnyr and reminded him that forging his own legacy matters more than emulating someone else’s. “You are limitless. Don’t let anyone tell you or dictate to you to be the next Vice Ganda. You can never be the next Vice Ganda,” she said, her voice firm yet full of warmth.
“Because you can create your own path—and you will. And I’m looking forward to that,” she added.
Vice’s words were more than encouragement—they were a passing of the torch. A staunch supporter of LGBTQIA+ representation and growth, she made it clear that Esnyr, whose journey inside the house has tugged on many heartstrings, will never have to walk alone. “I’ll be on the side rooting for you and applauding you,” she told him, sealing her support like a promise.
Esnyr has quickly become one of the most compelling housemates of the season. His openness about familial tensions and experiences of feeling unseen have painted a portrait of quiet resilience. Making history as the first openly queer housemate to reach the Big Night, he’s already proven he can defy expectations.
Now, with Vice Ganda’s blessing and the public’s growing admiration, Esnyr stands not in anyone’s shadow—but in his own rising spotlight. His story inside the PBB house may be ending, but the one he’s about to write in showbiz is just beginning.
