Kapamilya young star Eliza Borromeo took to Instagram on Sunday, February 1, to express her gratitude and reflect on the "second chance" she received during the show's wildcard round.

This followed her exit from the Big Brother's house during the eviction night on Saturday, January 31. Eliza's journey ended alongside Kapuso star Sofia Pablo, as both housemates garnered the lowest number of votes for the week.

She was first evicted in November 2025 before winning her way back into the house through a wildcard round in January.

In her post, she stated that the second chance taught her new experiences and lessons.

“Second chances don't come to erase the past, they come to teach you something new,” Eliza wrote in her caption.

The young actress confessed that her return was challenging, but the experience served as a reminder of her true identity and the importance of being true to oneself.

“Being in the house again was enough to remind me who I really am. Coming back wasn't easy. Bumalik akong may takot, doubt, at maraming tanong, but I'm walking out with a heart that feels lighter and more at peace,” Eliza wrote.

“This experience reminded me how important it is to stay true to yourself, kahit na minsan hindi ka na sigurado sa lahat. I learned to listen more, to feel deeply, and to show up kahit hindi palaging madali,” she added.

She also expressed her gratitude to those who tirelessly supported her and stood by her throughout her entire PBB journey.

Eliza also added that the love and support she's been getting pushed her to keep on learning and growing for her own sake and for all those who stayed by her side.

“To everyone who chose to understand me, to stand up for me, and to protect me when things got loud — thank you. Nakikita at nababasa ko lahat. Your love meant more than you'll ever know,” Eliza said.

She continued, “I felt seen, supported, and I never felt alone. I'll keep on learning and growing, hindi lang para sa sarili ko, but for all of you who believed in me and stayed.”

Eliza extended her gratitude to PBB, ABS-CBN, and GMA for the collaboration that allowed her this platform.

“Thank you @pbbabscbntv, ABS-CBN, and GMA for giving me this second chance,” she wrote.

She also expressed gratitude toward her family and friends for their constant support and for reminding her that she is "loved and valued."

“To my family and friends who've always been there for me, reminding me that I'm loved and valued, thank you so much,” Eliza said.

Eliza also shared a few words regarding the lessons she learned about “healing and growth” throughout her entire PBB journey.

“This journey taught me that sometimes, healing is the real win. And today, I choose peace, gratitude, and to keep growing. I didn't lose myself this time, and that's everything,” said Eliza.

She ended her message by making a promise to herself: “And this year, I'm rising. Kahit anong pagsubok na harapin ko, babangon ako nang may tapang at pag-asa.”
