Apart from being part of the cast of the popular series <em>It’s Okay To Not Be Okay</em>, Bianca is also preparing for an upcoming project with fellow PBB alumni Will Ashley slated for later this year. </p><p>In her interview with PUSH Bets, Bianca looks back on just how much her experience in PBB helped teach her about the virtue of patience and knowing her place in the industry. “Ang PBB naman kasi, isa talaga yun sa mga pangarap ko, ever since growing up. Naka-ilang audition na rin ako for PBB. Actually this is my third time. I really had to wait for the right timing and the right season and true enough, I think this is the perfect season for me. I always say na PBB talaga it healed me in so many different aspects. I felt na kinailangan ko talaga yung PBB, not just for my career but in order for me to grow as an individual,” she said.  </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/9/1/bianca-de-vera-dreams-of-owning-her-own-resto-someday-cooking-talaga-kasi-is-my-first-love-1448"><strong>READ: Bianca De Vera dreams of owning her own resto someday: ‘Cooking talaga kasi is my first love’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DNNpI3JPHq9/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A6204191.300000012%2C%22ls%22%3A170369.5%2C%22le%22%3A170746.40000000596%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Prior to becoming a housemate, Bianca said she was at a point in her life where she was really looking for direction. “As cliché as it sounds, before entering kasi, I was really broken and really lost. I really needed it. Kinailangan ko si Kuya, kinailangan ko yung mga housemates, and I needed to find that strength within me in order for me to go on through life. And siyempre, I really wanted to share my story with the world,” she added. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLw10r5Pj4t/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A6205303.5%2C%22ls%22%3A170369.5%2C%22le%22%3A170746.40000000596%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/8/30/bianca-de-vera-talks-about-what-keeps-her-humble-hindi-naman-talaga-ako-pinanganak-na-mayaman-0953"><strong>READ: Bianca De Vera talks about what keeps her humble: ‘Hindi naman talaga ako pinanganak na mayaman’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Having been candid about the challenges she has gone through in her showbiz career, Bianca shared why it was important to stay focused on your goals and being true to yourself even when the cameras aren’t rolling. </p><p>“I think it’s really all about finding yourself again and again and again. Dito kasi it’s so easy to get lost in the words of what other people try to paint you to be. Ang dami kasi eh. Everyday, gigising ka tapos people want you to be (like) this, people want you to be (like) that. They always try to make a mold for you that they force you to fill. And if hindi ka perfect sa mold na yun, then you’re just disposable to them. So it’s so easy to lose yourself in between all of that. So ayun, it’s really just patience within yourself na kailangan mo talaga hanapin yung sarili mo araw-araw,” she explained. </p><p>Sharing her biggest takeaway from her whole experience on <em>PInoy Big Brother, </em>the petite actress said she has learned how to accept and have faith in knowing there is a right timing for everything in her life. “It’s really patience. Patience not just with other people but with my myself in different aspects. With my career, within finding myself again, and exploring the different stages of life,” she said. </p><div><br/></div><p>WATCH Bianca De Vera’s full interview with PUSH <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClRhmQ-oZEs"><strong>here</strong></a></p><div><br/></div><p>Watch new episodes of PUSH Bets every Friday at 7:30 p.m. on ABS-CBN.com and the PUSH YouTube channel.
