Their stories of perseverance and &#x27;pagpapakatotoo&#x27; were celebrated in a star-studded “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Collab</em></u></strong></a>” Big Night.</p><p>The Big Night kicked off with a high-energy dance number featuring the “PBB Collab” ex-housemates, clad in red and blue, colors that symbolized their groups all season long–red for the Star Magic artists and blue for the Sparkle housemates.</p><p>The crowd roared louder when Michelle Dee and Bianca Umali, who both graced Bahay Ni Kuya as special houseguests, lit up the opening prod with their stunning presence. </p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4L5dtm8XWrI" title="Big Night: Ex-Housemates reunite for a fun opening performance | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Meanwhile, the Big Four Duos– CharEs (Charlie Fleming and Esnyr), RaWi (Ralph de Leon and Will Ashley), AzVer (AZ Martinez and River Joseph), and BreKa (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca)–were shown backstage and isolated in a private room, surprised as they realized the magnitude of the night awaiting them.  </p><p>Hosts Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee, Alexa Ilacad, Gabbi Garcia, and Mavy Legaspi then took to the stage and welcomed everyone to the historic “PBB Collab” Big Night.</p><p>As the energy of the opening numbers settled, the evening shifted to a more heartfelt note with a series of special VTRs dedicated to each Big Four duo. In every challenge faced, every tear shed, and every win achieved on their way to the Big Night, their partners had become their strongest pillars.</p><p>These Final Duos stood side by side. No matter how tough the road became, they made it through together. And to celebrate their journey, the Big Night presented the Big Four duos honoring and thanking their partners.</p><p>Throughout their time inside Bahay ni Kuya, River became the protective &#x27;Kuya&#x27; AZ never expected. “No’ng unang meet natin dito sa bahay, sabi ko sa sarili ko, siguro sumasali ’to sa mga beauty pageants kasi sa look mo, paano mo dalhin ang sarili mo,” River smiled, admitting that he thought AZ was &quot;OA&quot; when she first spoke. He never imagined she’d become one of his best-est friends, until he discovered how much they have in common, like both recently losing their fathers and sharing a deep love for their mothers.</p><p>“I saw an AZ who had so much faith, who is a fighter, and never going to give up,” he reflected on his duo&#x27;s journey. “I’m so proud of you, how much you’ve grown. You kept pushing ‘til the end and always had faith in God. I’m super proud that I was part of your journey also.&quot;</p><p>And then he promised AZ, “I promise that I’ll always be a big brother to you even outside of this house. I’ll always be there.” </p><p>AZ&#x27;s message to River also showed just how much their bond means to her. &quot;Hindi ko ma-imagine ‘yung journey ko na wala ka. &#x27;Yung table, I can&#x27;t imagine you not being there.&quot; She went on, &quot;Ang laki ng impact mo sa loob ng bahay na &#x27;to. Your story, sobrang inspiring siya sa akin. Because of you, I saw a different perspective in life.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Nu&#x27;ng Tapatan, nilabas mo lahat ng nasa puso mo. You showed &#x27;you&#x27; talaga. Nasabi mo na you may have looked weak because you were crying a lot. Pero honestly that was the strongest that I&#x27;ve seen you,&quot; shared AZ.</p><p>&quot;You always want to be there for other people. You want to fill their cups. I&#x27;ll always be here to fill yours.&quot; She continued, &quot;I promise to always be there when you need someone. I&#x27;ll always be there to listen to you, like how you listen to me. I&#x27;ll always be there to have faith in you.&quot; </p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4O8kAwyDUnk" title="Big Night: AZVer, BreKa reflect on their growth in Kuya&#x27;s house | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>BreKa&#x27;s journey inside Bahay ni Kuya was all about learning to trust each other and letting their walls come down. Brent opened up about how Mika became his confidante. “You became my best friend in the house. We were honest with each other and we really protected each other,” he shared. “If you feel like things are starting to fall apart, I’ll help you pick up the pieces. Thank you for sharing your heart.”</p><p>Mika, on the other hand, talked about how she knew Brent had his own walls, just like her, both of them cautious with their words and actions. &quot;Sa mga pinakamahirap na moments dito sa journey ko sa loob ng bahay, ikaw &#x27;yung nakasama ko, which is &#x27;yung unang task na naging leaders tayo, first eviction, first nomination,&quot; she told Brent. </p><p>&quot;Kulang na lang pati pagkatao ko bitbitin mo nu&#x27;ng panahon &#x27;yun.&quot; And then little by little, their walls slowly started to come down as they grew closer. &quot;Slowly nakita namin kung paano ka umiyak.&quot;</p><p>Meanwhile, CharEs&#x27; journey as a duo started with a shared story as breadwinners. &quot;When you first walk at the door, you we&#x27;re already a familiar face to me,&quot; Charlie told Esnyr, explaining how his story resonated deeply with her own experience. </p><p>&quot;You allowed me to be more comfortable with my own story. You are one of the most compassionate souls in this house.&quot; She appreciated how Esnyr showed his care for everyone, even in simple things like preparing meals for their fellow housemates.</p><p>In turn, Esnyr recalled how happy he was to discover a fellow Bisaya in the house when he saw Charlie. He admired her efforts to grow, and said that she has a soft heart behind her striking appearance. He also remembered the One-Shot Wonder Task where Charlie helped the most behind the scenes, even though she was one of the housemates with the least exposure on cam. </p><p>Esnyr also thanked Charlie for choosing him as her final duo partner, &quot;No&#x27;ng naging Final Duo tayo, sinabihan mo ako na I am your first choice despite the fact na nag-Rank 12 ako. Sobrang vinalidate mo ako.&quot; He added, &quot;Pangako, I will be your AteKuys dito a bahay o sa outside world man.&quot;</p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3bSdTXKudhs" title="Big Night: CharEs, RaWi look back on their journey in Kuya&#x27;s house | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>RaWi&#x27;s brotherhood was already solid from the very start. So when Ralph got the chance to choose his Final Duo, he didn’t think twice about picking Will. He shared that from day one, there was so much about Will that reminded him of himself, especially their being introverts.</p><p>Throughout the more than 100 days they spent inside the house, Ralph knew that Will always had his back, and for that, he&#x27;s thankful. He promised that their friendship wouldn’t end here. &quot;Isang tawag lang nandu&#x27;n ako,&quot; he told him. </p><p>Will also appreciated the friendship Ralph offered. &quot;Hindi ka man magsalita o magsalita ka, pinanaparamdam mong isa kang kaibigan.”</p><p>After the journeys of the Big Four Duos were celebrated, the stage came alive once more with a powerful musical collaboration. “PBB Collab” ex-housemate Klarisse De Guzman teamed up with singers from &quot;Tawag ng Tanghalan&quot; and &quot;The Clash.&quot;</p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-3Qv_4--wQA" title="Big Night: Klarisse performs with Kapamilya, Kapuso singers | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Keeping with “PBB’s” tradition of highlighting the most talked-about moments of the season via the &quot;uber acting&quot; entries, the &quot;PBB&quot; hosts reenacted the viral “OA” argument between ex-housemates Klarisse and Dustin Yu. Melai transformed into Klarisse, Robi played Dustin, and Gabbi acted as ex-housemate Shuvee Etrata. </p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SYUzCuiL5vo" title="Big Night: Pamilya ni Kuya, may OA na &quot;uber acting&quot; | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Then, a magic act swept across the stage to introduce Donny Pangilinan, the official “Messenger” of the season, bringing in the envelope that carried the final results of the public vote. Viewers had been given one week to cast their votes online, choosing which duo they believed deserved the Big Winner title (BBS) and which pair they wanted to evict from the race (BBE).</p><p>Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for—the reveal of the final results. The first duo to step back into the outside world was AZ and River&#x27;s AzVer, as the 4th Big Placer.</p><p>The crowd erupted into cheers as AZ and River emerged onstage, overwhelmed by the sea of supporters welcoming them back to the outside world. AZ’s face lit up with pure joy, her eyes wide as she took in the sight of the packed theater, while River couldn’t hide his amazement either. “Parang panaginip,” River said when asked how he was feeling in that surreal moment. Both AZ and River were joined by their mothers onstage. As the 4th Big Placers, AZ and River each received a ₱200,000 cash prize after garnering 8.77% of the total votes.</p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eNt3xmODHao" title="Big Night: AZVer is the 4th Big Placer Duo! | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The excitement soared higher as CharEs was announced as the 3rd Big Placer, earning 22.91% of the total votes. Charlie and Esnyr each took home a ₱300,000 cash prize. Their happiness was infectious the moment they stepped onstage, waving excitedly to the cheering crowd. </p><p>Both Charlie and Esnyr took a moment to dedicate their win to each other, to their families, and especially to their fellow BisDaks. “Sa mga Bisayang nanonood diyan, posible na makaabot mo diri,” Esnyr declared, encouraging BisDaks that they, too, can reach the same heights he and Charlie achieved. Charlie added, “Sa mga Bisaya dira, gigugma ko kayo,” which translates to, “Sa mga Bisaya diyan, mahal ko kayo.”</p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RUf-mtk3YZg" title="Big Night: CharEs is the 3rd Big Placer Duo! | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The remaining duos, BreKa and RaWi, were stunned as CharEs was eliminated from the race. To recall, BreKa, RaWi, and even AzVer had all chosen CharEs as their personal bet to become the Big Winner duo in past episodes ahead of the Big Night.</p><p>And then finally, RaWi was declared the 2nd Big Placer, earning 25.88% of the total votes and taking home ₱500,000 each. Will was speechless as he tried to take in the moment. “Hindi ko in-expect na makakaabot kami sa ganitong punto ng ‘PBB’ journey namin,&quot; was all he managed to say. Beside him, Ralph raised his voice with an empowering message, “Never stop dreaming. Always fight for your dreams.&quot;</p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dv4kwIlaDDw" title="Big Night: RaWi is the 2nd Big Placer Duo! | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Back in the holding room, Brent and Mika could hardly believe it when they realized they were the last duo standing, which meant they had just made history as “Pinoy Big Brother’s” first-ever “Big Winner Duo.” The two embraced in shock and happiness as their names were called, officially claiming the grand prize of ₱1 million each after garnering an impressive 33.03% of the total combined votes.</p><p>Still stunned as they stepped onstage, Mika tried to express her overflowing emotions, “Hindi po sapat ang salitang masaya at mahal ko kayo at salamat dahil hindi po nu’n ma-e-explain ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.” Meanwhile, the usually reserved Brent couldn’t hold back his tears, as he imparted, “Basta puso ang panlaban, anything is possible.”</p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e5koOI2nKhw" title="Big Night: BreKa is the first-ever Big Winner Duo! | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>ABS-CBN’s Chief Operating Officer Cory Vidanes and GMA’s Senior Vice President Annette Gozon-Valdes awarded the prizes to the Top 2 duos. </p><div><iframe width="914" height="514" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5-WuYMXXHus" title="Big Night Official Tally of Votes | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Among the surprises of the night was the announcement that the “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Collab</em></u></strong></a>” ex-housemates will have a fan convention on August 10.
