Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca, known as BreKa, clinched the Big Winner title of “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition,” making history as the first Kapuso-Kapamilya duo to win in the show’s special season.
The tandem secured their victory with 33.03% of the total combined public votes, finishing ahead of the three other finalist duos. Each will receive a ₱1 million cash prize.
“Hindi po sapat ang mga salitang ‘masaya,’ ‘mahal ko kayo,’ at ‘salamat po’ para ipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Lahat po ng ito ay para sa inyo—para sa pamilya ko, sa mga nagmamahal, at para sa amin ni Brent,” said Kapuso Big Winner Mika.
Kapamilya Big Winner Brent added, “Gusto ko lang pong sabihin na kapag puso ang panlaban, anything is possible. God is good!”
Following BreKa, RaWi (Ralph de Leon and Will Ashley) was named the Second Big Placer Duo with 25.88%, each taking home P500,000. They were followed by CharEs (Charlie Flemming and Esnyr Ranollo) in third place with 22.91% and a prize of P300,000 each, while AZVer (AZ Martinez and River Joseph) rounded out the Big 4 in fourth place with 8.77%, receiving P200,000 each.
