The internet just found its newest crushes in “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition</a>” ex-housemates Michael Sager and Emilio Daez. Well, we can&#x27;t blame everyone falling in love with the &#x27;MiLi&#x27; duo. These two aren’t just eye candies; they’ve proven to be smart guys, too. In this challenge where they faced a series of thought-provoking life questions, Michael and Emilio showed us that being brainy is definitely part of their charm.Emilio got serious when the first question prompted him to look back on a dream he gave up. He shared that he wanted to become the CEO of a bank, and even shaped his entire academic path around that goal. The Atenista took up Management Engineering, which is an honors course, meaning it&#x27;s more academically difficult than standard courses and designed for high-achieving students. &quot;It&#x27;s very, very hard to get in. There&#x27;s a lot of requirements that you need to meet and that meant sacrificing a lot of time with friends and family, sacrificing the small joys for long study nights,&quot; shared Emilio. After college, he worked as an investment banker, a career he prepared for throughout his academic years. But, as he showcased in Bahay Ni Kuya, he’s the type of guy who follows his heart. And there came a season when his gut feeling persistently told him to try his luck in showbiz, so he gave up his 9-5 life to take that chance.  &quot;The logical choice was for me to continue my corporate career because that&#x27;s something that I&#x27;ve prepared for, basically, my whole life. But that&#x27;s a dream I&#x27;ve given up,&quot; he reflected.When asked if he had any regrets, Emilio was honest to admit that his CEO dream still remains a big “what if” in his life. But he’s also found a sense of purpose in this new path he’s now taking.The “Mr. Bankable Achiever ng Pasig” was then faced with another “what if” item in the next round. What would he do today if he found out that tomorrow would be his last day on Earth? His answer was simple, but it spoke a lot about his being family-oriented. He would spend the entire day with his family and make sure they had a perfect time together, “We will just talk and enjoy each other’s company.” Michael’s first question also came in as a real test of wit. Would he rather know when he’s going to die, or when a loved one will? ‘Knock on wood,’ but he chose to know when his time would come, so he could cherish every moment with his loved ones and use what time he has left to make an impact on the next generation.His second question hit even closer to home, as it inquired about his latest realization about himself, for which he brought up his PBB experience, where he learned that perfection truly doesn&#x27;t exist. “I have so many things to work on,” he confessed. PBB fans would know that Michael was often wondering why he was consistently nominated for eviction. And it wasn’t out of bitterness or seeking drama. He genuinely just wanted to know the reason so he could work on his mistakes and grow. &quot;I loved that I was getting nominated because I saw where I was weak, I saw how I could become a better man,&quot; expressed the “Diligent Wonder Son ng Marinduque.”Be amazed by MiLi’s answers to the “Untold Questions!” Catch &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PBB Celebrity Collab Edition</a>,&quot; airing weeknights at 10:00 p.m. and on weekends at 6:15 p.m. via GMA Network.
