Families, friends, and fans quickly took to social media to congratulate the winners, including Lella's ever-supportive mother, Karla Estrada.
On her social media pages, Karla beamed with joy as she reshared posts about her daughter's victory.
She also took the time to thank fans for their overwhelming support and for organizing special projects to celebrate Lella's win.
"Congratulations anak!!! You made it!❤️❤️" she wrote in one of her posts.
Even before the Big Night, Karla had already been vocal about her love and support for Lella online.
In a previous Facebook post, the actress penned a heartfelt message defending her daughter's spot in the Ultimate 8 amid rumors and online comments.
"I understand that everyone has their own interpretation of what happened, and emotions really run high when we talk about something we all care about. But I also hope we can be fair to Lella," she said.
Karla's message came after netizens reacted to Lella's statement during a previous challenge.
"When Lella was mentioned for a particular task, there were no loud defenses, no long explanations, no big reactions. She accepted it quietly and continued to fight her battles with grace. She never questioned anyone's worth or capacity publicly. She focused on doing her best and letting her actions speak for her," she added.
The celebrity mom also reminded viewers about the intense emotions inside the house, noting that pressure and perspective inside can be very different from what audiences see on screen.
"Having an opinion about performance or deserving a spot doesn't automatically mean there is hidden animosity. Sometimes it's just perspective and perspective can differ without being malicious," she shared.
"Instead of bashing or assuming ill intent, maybe this is a reminder for all of us to value each opinion, even when we don't agree with it. Healthy discussion is okay. Personal attacks are not. Let's choose understanding over judgment. At the end of the day, they all worked hard, they all sacrificed, and they all deserve respect."
Since the season's launch, Karla has consistently shown her support for Lella online.
She even entered the house as a special surprise after Lella was voted one of the kindest housemates of the batch.
Besides Lella, Karla is also the mother of Kapamilya actor Daniel Padilla and two more.
