I feel like it&#x27;s life-changing. It&#x27;s not just about fame, it’s not just about getting money or being an artista. There&#x27;s so much learnings to be had when you&#x27;re in PBB,&quot; he said. </p><p>Young went on: &quot;I felt like I became infinitely more open to the world, open to being a leader. Because in &#x27;PBB,&#x27; I was definitely one of the leaders. And then just being more confident in yourself, being able to show everyone everything -- from being angry to being sad -- and just being okay with it. And let the world know it.&quot;</p><p>Uy echoed Young&#x27;s statements, saying: &quot;Right. Kind of like how we do it now. We&#x27;re just so okay with people seeing us and talking about anything under the sun.&quot;</p><p>After his stint in the &quot;PBB&quot; house, Young appeared in a number of TV shows and then pursued a business in line with his engineering background. </p><p>He married Uy in February 2019 and welcomed their first child more than a year later. </p><p>&quot;PBB&quot; started its latest season, &quot;Connect,&quot; last December. </p><div><strong>Related video: </strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JmRwazQDvz0?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
