<p>In the August 5 episode of “Hello Outside World,” hosted by Bianca Gonzalez and Esnyr Ranollo, “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11”</strong></a> 3rd Big Placer Kolette Madelo and former “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab-v2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PBB Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0</strong></a>” housemate Carmelle Collado looked back on their humble beginnings and the manifestations that came true following their respective “PBB” journeys. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/8/11/kolette-madelo-looks-back-on-her-raketera-days-before-pbb-confirms-status-of-her-heart-0018" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Kolette Madelo looks back on her raketera days before “PBB,” confirms status of her heart </strong></a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/8/10/carmelle-collado-reveals-manifested-dreams-that-finally-come-true-reflects-on-humble-beginnings-0145" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Carmelle Collado reveals manifested dreams that finally come true, reflects on humble beginnings </strong></a></div><p> Later on, Carmelle and Kolette took on an exclusive “Hello o Goodbye” challenge, where they drew quirky prompts from a fishbowl and answered “Hello” if they were up for it and “Goodbye” if they would rather pass.</p><div>  </div><div><iframe width="913" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gjrXUm4D-cw" title="Kolette Madelo &amp; Carmelle Collado Play ‘HELLO o GOODBYE’ | Hello Outside World (HOW Extra!)" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>For their first pick, Carmelle said “Hello” to spicy food, proudly embracing her Bicolana roots, where dishes like Bicol Express reflect the region’s love for bold, spicy flavors. Kolette, meanwhile, admitted that she only enjoys a hint of chili, saying “Goodbye” once the spice becomes too strong for her liking.  </p><p>The “PBB” alums also said “Hello” to having a suitor from a wealthy family. Carmelle playfully quipped that, while money may be a plus, it would still depend on the suitor’s looks—a sentiment Kolette quickly agreed with. </p><p>Kolette and Carmelle both said “Goodbye” to a no-label relationship. “Para maka-feel ka rin ng security sa isang tao,” Kolette explained, adding that she’s the type to always ask what stage of the relationship she’s in to avoid confusion about where things are headed.</p><p>On the subject of burner accounts, Carmelle revealed that she actually owns one, which she mainly uses for stalking. Kolette also answered “Hello,” saying that she keeps her personal thoughts tucked away, as she’d rather not share them publicly. “Mahilig kasi akong mag-share ng mga stuff online, ‘yung mga memes. Hindi ko siya pwedeng gawin sa main [account] ko,” she shared.</p><p>When asked about having guy best friends, both Carmelle and Kolette answered “Hello.” Carmelle agreed with the idea, saying she considers herself “one of the boys,” while Kolette shared that she has plenty of male friends. “Sobrang saya nilang kasama,” she remarked, noting that guy best friends bring a different kind of comfort and energy to her usual circle.  </p><p>When the conversation shifted to ampalaya, or bitter gourd, Carmelle said “Hello” to the vegetable only when it’s cooked by her mother, who knows how to get rid of its bitterness. Otherwise, it’s a firm “Goodbye.” Kolette agreed, noting that she only enjoys ampalaya when it’s prepared by fellow “PBB Gen 11” ex-housemate Patrick Ramirez. </p><p>Catch “Hello Outside World” hosted by Bianca and Esnyr, with fresh episodes every Wednesday, on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@abscbnentertainment" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube Channel. </strong></a></p><div> </div><div><strong>More on this story: </strong></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/8/11/kolette-madelo-looks-back-on-her-raketera-days-before-pbb-confirms-status-of-her-heart-0018" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Kolette Madelo looks back on her raketera days before “PBB,” confirms status of her heart</strong></a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/8/9/funny-and-savage-kolette-and-carmelle-respond-to-bashers-with-pagpapakatotoo-0029" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Funny and savage!
