I felt like I always needed to have something to say, I needed to stand up for myself. I needed to be always just be there.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Pero na-realize ko po talaga na I can just sit, listen and learn. I need to understand what&#x27;s going on first before I take action.&quot;</p><p>Since her exit, Bonifacio has been receiving a lot of attention online and from people around her. </p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s very overwhelming,&quot; she admitted. &quot;There&#x27;s a lot of support, both loving and criticizing, which I really do appreciate. I&#x27;m still processing the moment, but it&#x27;s a good journey. I had a good experience. I have a new family. There&#x27;s new love and I can&#x27;t wait to see them outside.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Feeling ko I went through a breakup with the house and me,&quot; said Bonifacio. &quot;I love waking up to their faces. I love saying good night to them. I love &#x27;yung pag kailangan na naming mag-ready for sleep, pero kailangan pa naming magchikahan. It&#x27;s all those small moments that I really miss.&quot;</p><p>The dancer-singer added that she misses the &quot;book club&quot; that they formed inside the house. &quot;It was me, Josh, Kira, and Charlie, and we adopted Az. &#x27;Tara labas tayo, let&#x27;s just read.&#x27; We got to talk about our lives, our background. I felt very free with them,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;Every day was a new experience, nagre-reset po kami. And I got to know a new housemate, everyone is going through a different feeling. Nag-iiba siya every day.&quot;</p><p>While her time inside the PBB house was cut short, all is well for Bonifacio--and she&#x27;s taking all these lessons to heart. She said she is excited for what&#x27;s next for her in the outside world. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/2/after-pbb-eviction-ac-bonifacio-receives-warm-welcome-from-star-magic-1443">After PBB eviction, AC Bonifacio receives warm welcome from Star Magic</a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/2/ashley-ortega-says-she-has-no-issue-with-ac-bonifacio-1545">Ashley Ortega says she has no issue with AC Bonifacio</a></div>
