Teen star Princess Aliyah wrote an emotional post on Instagram as she reflected on the end of her Pinoy Big Brother journey last February 28.

Princess was hailed as the Kapuso 4th Big Placer, while fellow Kapuso housemate Caprice Cayetano won as the Kapuso Big Winner.

A few days after the memorable season finale, Princess is still in disbelief that she reached the Big Night.

“I still can't believe that my PBB journey has come to an end. From the moment I stepped inside PBB, I never imagined I would make it all the way to Big Night. Everything happened so fast, but the love I felt will stay with me forever,” the Sparkle star said.

She then explained the importance of the color of her evening dress for the Big Night, which she said symbolized 'strength' and 'warmth.'

“Orange was the color I carried with me to Big Night — my color, our color. The color of strength, warmth, and paghilom. And when I stepped out and saw the orange light sticks, the orange signs, everyone wearing orange… grabe, I felt so seen, so loved. I saw you. I felt you.

“Thank you for turning the night into something so beautiful and full of hope. @teamprincessofc_ , @teamprincessaliyah, @teamfredcessofc , @teamfredofficial.”

The 17-year-old promising actress also paid tribute to her family and supporters for giving her the 'courage' to get through some tough times inside Bahay ni Kuya.

"To my family and to everyone who supported me from day one until now, thank you for being my strength when I was doubting myself. You gave me courage on the days I felt weak and reminded me why I kept fighting. And of course, I'm beyond grateful for all the housemates who completed my journey inside the house. Each of you became part of my story, my growth, and my heart. Special mention to PAL @ashleysarmiento__ and @lellaford__ ,thank you for the lessons, the laughter, and the moments that helped shape me into who I am today."

Feeling more motivated, Princess stressed that this is just the beginning of more exciting days ahead for her. “This may be the end of my PBB journey, but it's just the beginning. I'll forever carry our orange and the spirit of paghilom with me wherever I go. Mahal na mahal ko kayo.”
