Speaking softly, JP explained that he’s just really shy in person. His fellow ex-housemates agreed, but with teasing smiles because everyone now knows that he has a crush on the Cebuana beauty.The “PBB Gen 11” ex-housemates have recently signed with talent management Star Magic, and things are moving fast!

Patrick, who loves horror movies, dreams of starring in one. His biggest wish, though, is to work on a BL project with his real-life partner, Dingdong. Well, Dingdong is game with that idea, but he’s also interested in hosting, just like his idol Robi Domingo. Meanwhile, JP expressed his excitement about getting closer to his dream of becoming an award-winning actor with a blockbuster hit.Prompted to look back on the show&#x27;s trending finale, the ex-housemates recalled feeling a mix of emotions during the Big Night, as they were thrilled to reunite with the Big 4–Fyang, Rain Celmar, Kolette Madelo, and Kai—whom they missed bonding with. Of course, they were amazed seeing the girls for the first time in their beautiful and elegant designer gowns.“Girl power!” was Therese’s reaction when it was announced that they were having an all-girls Big 4 this season. Patrick mentioned that he and Dingdong had manifested the four ladies making it to the Big 4, and they felt like proud ‘daddies’ to these girls, especially when the girls’ parents thanked them for being good role models.When asked to describe the Big 4 members, they all agreed that Kai is a complete package and definitely a star. Kolette was recognized for her resilience and fighting spirit, while Rain was described as genuine, pure, and underrated. As for Fyang, they all agreed that she is a winner and a champion.We often hear stories of how living in Bahay Ni Kuya transforms lives and perspectives, and these housemates can vouch for that. &quot;Every day that we spend inside Kuya&#x27;s house, ang dami naming learnings, ang dami naming realizations kahit maliit na bagay,&quot; says Jas, who believes that the most important lesson she learned from her PBB experience is the balance between self-love and empathy. Being isolated in a house with strangers from different backgrounds also opened her eyes to the importance of respecting each other&#x27;s differences.Dingdong echoed her sentiments, stating, &quot;Every day inside the house is a learning curve for each housemate.&quot; One thing that stood out to him was fairness, as, as a &#x27;kuya,&#x27; he felt it was his responsibility to be a good influence, especially for the teens. And he believes he and Patrick managed to fulfill that role well.Patrick added that it is also important to enjoy the experience and ensure that no one is stepped on in the process. For JP, life as a housemate taught him to appreciate the little things.Seventeen-year-old Therese left the house with a deeper perspective on life through her housemates&#x27; stories. On a side note, she was one of the most trending ex-housemates during the &quot;House Challenger&quot; week, thanks to her fierceness toward the remaining housemates. When asked how she managed to do it, she admitted that it was genuinely difficult for her. She might have spent only two weeks in the show, but she formed bonds with the housemates, making it painful for her to put them through challenges. However, she felt she had to do what Kuya asked of them.Things are happening quickly for them as they navigate their newfound &#x27;celebrity&#x27; status. To keep up, they stay grounded by seeking help and guidance from their families and their new talent management team.Jas emphasizes that she takes things one day at a time. Aware of the various &#x27;ships&#x27; involving her and other male housemates, she stresses that she appreciates everyone, thus making sure that all the supporters, regardless of their fandoms, feel her love in return.In Dingdong&#x27;s words, it&#x27;s all about &quot;happy shipping&quot; because, at the end of the day, they&#x27;re all friends. For Dingdong, it&#x27;s even amusing that some fans ship him with Therese and Fyang, and Patrick with Jas. As Patrick says, they focus on the good vibes and do not engage in worthless bashing.To wrap up the interview, they were asked to describe &quot;Big Brother&quot; himself, and you could feel the impact he had on them in the way they referred to him as a father figure who provided tough love. They expressed gratitude for how Kuya not only supplied them with their &#x27;needs&#x27; but also offered valuable advice and life lessons during their time inside his house.
