Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo have emerged as the big winners of “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition!”

The BreKa duo was awarded the coveted title at the Big Night on Saturday at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.

"Sa totoo lang po, hindi ko alam ang sasabihin kasi hindi po sapat ‘yung salitang masaya at mahal ko kayo at salamat po kasi hindi po ‘yun ma-e-explain ang nararamdaman ko ngayon," Mika said. "Para sa inyo pong lahat 'to. Para sa pamilya ko, para sa mga nagmamahal, at para sa aming dalawa ni Brent." 

Brent added, "Gusto ko lang po sabihin na basta puso ‘yung panlaban, anything is possible. God is good. Thank you po. Marami pong salamat."

“Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” started airing on March 9 with a total of 20 housemates — 10 Kapuso and 10 Kapamilya — entering the house.

For the first time, the reality show followed a duo format, creating a variety of one Kapuso housemate and one Kapamilya housemate pairings throughout the weeks.

The edition also marked the first time that PBB aired on GMA Network. The major collaboration is in celebration of the show’s 20th anniversary.

CharEs was the first duo to enter the Big Four after being voted by the remaining duos and the house challengers, while RaWi, AzVer, and BreKa won the remaining slots through the Big Jump challenges. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
