Following the success of The Big Night of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 last Saturday, February 28, Ultimate 8 housemates Krystal Mejes, Miguel Vergara, and Princess Aliyah took to social media to express their gratitude as they officially closed their PBB journey.
PBB Collab 2.0 second big placer Krystal admitted she is still processing everything after spending four months inside the iconic yellow house.
“Coming out of the PBB house, everything still feels so surreal. My brain is honestly still catching up to my heart,” she wrote.
Krystal then thanked her supporters for being a huge part of her journey: “To everyone who supported me during my PBB journey—to those who voted for me, who stood by me, who believed in me even when I doubted myself—Thank you. Thank you. Your love was my strength in that house. Kayo yung lakas ko when I felt weak. Because of you, I never gave up. Because of you, I kept fighting.”
She also expressed her gratitude to Big Brother, her fellow housemates, and her management for her unforgettable journey.
“To kuya, maraming salamat po sa aral na babaunin ko pang habang buhay. To all the housemates, thank you for making my family bigger and my heart fuller. Thank you for the memories, the laughter and the stories we shared inside our home for 4 months. To my bosses, maraming salamat po for giving me this opportunity,” she continued.
“Taos-puso po akong nagpapasalamat, and I will carry your love with me forever. Tala, now signing off as your wishful waray ng Samar. 🤍.”
Miguel Vergara also marked the end of his PBB stint, describing it as a “memorable chapter” of his life.
“Every ending has a story behind it. And it just so happened that the most memorable chapter of my life has just ended. I hope you’ll fly with me into the next one… MARAMING SALAMAT SA INYONG LAHAT! KAKAH 🦅 Ako si Miguel, Ang Adorable Smasher ng Antipolo, now signing off,” he posted alongside photos from The Big Night.

Meanwhile, Kapuso fourth Big Placer Princess Aliyah said she is still on cloud nine after her journey.
“I still can’t believe that my PBB journey has come to an end 🥺 From the moment I stepped inside PBB, I never imagined I would make it all the way to Big Night. Everything happened so fast, but the love I felt will stay with me forever,” she stated.
She also spoke about the significance of the color orange in her journey.
“Orange was the color I carried with me to Big Night — my color, our color 🧡 The color of strength, warmth, and paghilom. And when I stepped out and saw the orange light sticks, the orange signs, everyone wearing orange… grabe, I felt so seen, so loved. I saw you. I felt you. Thank you for turning the night into something so beautiful and full of hope.”
