Until their return to the outside world, Ashley Sarmiento carried her bubbly smile, while Joaquin Arce reminded Kabataang Pinoy to learn to be selfless. The two were named the Kapuso and Kapamilya 3rd Big Placers, respectively, during the “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0” Big Night, Saturday, February 28.
Cheers, emotions, and a whole color palette filled up the Crossroad Center, where the Ultimate 8 members (glammed up in their color assignments), ex-housemates, their families, supporters, and special guests gathered for the bold and bright “PBB Collab 2.0” Big Night.
For over 120 days inside Bahay Ni Kuya, the strength, grit, and heart of Kabataang Pinoy shone through every challenge, but above all, the housemates built friendships that could last well beyond the walls and cameras of the house, along with lessons that will guide them as they face their “totoong laban” in the outside world.
From this night forward, these young stars' paths are carved for bigger things—and there’s simply no slowing them down.
Joaquin secured 16.95% of the votes as the Kapamilya 3rd Big Placer, while Ashley got 8.47% of the votes as the Kapuso 3rd Big Placer.
"Hello, world! And hello, Philippines! Thank you so much po sa pagboto," Ashley, the Longing Sweetheart ng Las Piñas, said after the announcement, looking radiant in her green gown. “Thank you, Lord.”
“The reason I’m here is because of you,” Joaquin told his supporters. “Glory be to God! There’s no point in living if you don’t live for someone else. Be selfless,” shared the Rising Dreamer of Muntinlupa, styled in teal.
As the 3rd Big Placers, they received P300,000 each.
