Ivana Alawi’s latest vlog, set in the lively streets of Quiapo, captured the infectious energy of PBB Celebrity Collab Edition Big Winners Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca, or BreKa, as they marveled at their unexpected fanbase.
Over a fun food trip and heartfelt Q&A, the duo expressed disbelief at the overwhelming support for their partnership.
“Hindi. Kami pinakamahina sa loob—yun yung laging sinasabi,” Brent confessed, recalling how they consistently ranked last in house tasks and votes.
Mika echoed, “Lagi kaming, ‘huli na tayo, Brent, gets naman!” Their shock was palpable when Ivana asked if they anticipated their win.
“Honestly, te, hindi talaga. Wala talaga,” Brent said, while Mika added, “Noong bandang huli na, hindi na namin siya parang goal na manalo… enjoyin na lang talaga namin ‘yung experience.”
The vlog, filled with lighthearted moments like Ivana teasing about feeling like a “third wheel” while Brent and Mika shared a cheesy hotdog, highlighted their unforced bond. Brent noted a turning point during the second eviction: “Sabi ko, ‘ah, may bumuboto pala sa akin!’”
Mika’s realization came via a letter from her sister, revealing the outpouring of love from fans. “Parang sabi nya na andami daw nagmamahal… Hindi ko inexpect na ganito kalala!” she exclaimed.
Ivana emphasized PBB’s magic in revealing their true selves: “Kung ano ‘yung nakitang kabutihan nyong dalawa, ‘yun talaga!” This authenticity fueled their popularity, transforming perceived weaknesses into strengths.
Their gratitude was evident, with Mika noting, “Gusto naming mag-inspire para sa kanila, kasi wala kami dito kung wala din sila.”
From underdogs to beloved champions, BreKa’s journey, as seen in the vibrant Quiapo setting, underscores the power of genuine connection, leaving fans eager for their next chapter.
