Sang'gre star Bianca Umali just lived out one of the most emotional plot twists of her life after joining Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition as a houseguest.

On Instagram, Bianca shared a throwback photo of her younger self, along with an emotional letter in which she poured out her gratitude to PBB and the overwhelming support she received.

"Sobra sobra po itong ipinaparamdam ninyo sa akin and I couldn't stop crying. Pang ilang araw na po na sumasabog ang puso ko with gratitude…

MARAMING SALAMAT PO SA INYO," she wrote, overwhelmed and at a loss for how to begin expressing her feelings.

She added, "This is the most that I have ever felt love in my life from the outside world."

The Sparkle artist shared that growing up alone as an orphan, she believed that “the only love I would ever have, deserved, and will never lose was my Lola's.”

Despite her circumstances, she said she already felt content and whole during that time.

Expressing her shock at the overwhelming love she received after her PBB stint, she shared that “God gave me the answer” as she finally understood what love really is.

"This is a version of the love I thought I would never have… this is the love of my Mommy and my Daddy being showered upon me through all of you and words aren't even enough to express the state I am experiencing," she explained. "This is surreal. I am over the moon…"

Still in awe, the Sang'gre star thanked everyone who took the time to listen to her story. She admitted that she never imagined feeling so deeply loved in her life.

“Kamahal mahal po pala ako ng ganito ka sobra. I never knew I could be loved this much!!!” she expressed.

Bianca also shared the important lessons she learned throughout her journey.

She said, "Hindi na ako mag-isa at lalong hindi na ako dapat matakot sa mga tao at sa mundo. Alam ko na po ito dahil po sa inyo."

"Ama, taos puso po akong nagpasasalamat sa inyo para po sa biyayang mga pangyayari na ito! Kahit kailan ay hindi po ako humiling… at sobra sobra pa po ang binibigay ninyo!" she continued. "From the bottom of my heart, MAHAL NA MAHAL NA MAHAL KO DIN PO KAYONG LAHAT!"

Bianca even said that if she could, she would hug every one of her supporters to show her heartfelt gratitude.

She ended her post with a lighthearted joke, saying, "Okay, iyak lang po ako ulit wait lang poooo… brb hayyy."
