In this exclusive video, Rain Celmar, “Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11” 2nd Big Placer, shared her reaction to her unreleased interview taken before she entered the iconic Bahay ni Kuya. This time, her responses were marked by humor, humility, and a fresh understanding of herself after weeks of life under the watchful eye of Big Brother. Here’s what Rain had to say as she watched her past self.

As she watched her first impressions roll back on screen, Rain couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She recalled how she initially declared she would “make friends and know other housemates’ names.” But when she stepped inside, her shyness quickly took over.

Asked to describe herself in three words, she answered with “happy, energetic, and pretty.” A wave of “cringe” hit her as she heard herself say that last word, but ultimately, she just laughed it off. She just needs to believe in herself, she added, showing that her journey had brought a stronger sense of self-acceptance.

Moving on to her strengths and weaknesses, Rain reflected that she genuinely tries to bring positivity to others, a trait she holds close. But on the flip side, she admitted that “totoo weakness niya talaga mag-keep ng tears inside and it really parang almost episode umiyak si Rain.” Her emotions flow freely—she laughs, she cries, and she feels everything fully, which she now accepts as both a gift and a challenge.

When asked about her values in life, Rain firmly answered with “tiyaga.” She said she believes it was perseverance that kept her going in the PBB house, through moments of doubt and struggle. Without it, she confided, she might not have lasted so long in the PBB house.

Rain shared that her biggest worry as a housemate was making mistakes, adding that sometimes she forgot she was on a show. The authenticity she brought to her experience, even while forgetting the cameras, was one of her most relatable qualities.

Reflecting on the advice she would give her past self, she hoped she was “staying strong, doing good, and staying true to herself.” Rain beamed with pride as she added, “I stayed strong, guys, I stayed strong, I’m in Big 4—amazing!”

Then came a message to her present self, watching now from outside the house. Her wish was simple, she hoped she was doing well and happy. It was a gentle reminder to cherish her growth and the person she’s become.

As for what she hopes to treasure, Rain said she wants to hold onto “all the good memories.” She marveled at how it felt like only yesterday she’d filmed her initial interview, yet here she was, having lived through the experience of a lifetime.

The Rain who left the PBB house after 14 weeks was far more self-aware than the girl who’d first walked in. She remarked that entering the house made her realize just how much more she had to learn about herself. “I think a big part of my journey here talaga is believing in myself, and that helped me grow as a person. I learned so much,” she said.

In the end, Rain’s journey in the PBB house wasn’t just about competing; it was about finding strength, confronting vulnerability, and embracing growth—qualities that are sure to resonate with the many fans who watched her evolve.
