QUEZON CITY, Philippines — Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca, known as “BreKa,” were declared the Big Winner Duo of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition during the highly anticipated season finale held Saturday night at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.
The winning pair garnered 33.03% of the combined public votes, each securing a prize of ₱1,000,000 from sponsor BingoPlus.
Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley (“RaWi”) finished as the 2nd Big Placer Duo with 25.88% of the votes, and will receive ₱500,000 each. Charlie Fleming and Esnyr Ranollo (“CharEs”) secured the 3rd Big Placer spot with 22.91% of the votes, earning ₱300,000 each. AZ Martinez and River Joseph (“AZVer”) placed 4th with 8.77%, taking home ₱200,000 each.
This season marked several significant milestones for the enduring reality show franchise. For the first time since PBB Otso in 2019, the “Big Night” was held outside the iconic PBB house, welcoming a full audience at the New Frontier Theater.
More notably, Celebrity Collab Edition made history as the first Pinoy Big Brother season to feature a groundbreaking collaboration between rival networks ABS-CBN and GMA Network. This unprecedented partnership saw several Kapuso artists join the show as housemates and guests, effectively breaking long-standing network boundaries and ushering in a new era of cooperation within Philippine entertainment.
To conclude the show, host Bianca Gonzalez offered a teaser for the franchise’s future, announcing, “Pinaghahandaan na ni Kuya ang susunod na PBB Collab ngayong taon.”
