Lella Ford reflects on personal growth in PBB journey: 'I really pushed my limits'

Lella Ford has come far in her four-month journey in “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0,” bagging the title of Big Winner alongside Caprice Cayetano.

In an interview with GMA News Online, the PBB Collab 2.0 Kapamilya Big Winner said that she joined the reality show because she wanted to push herself beyond her limits. She did that and more, bravely leaving her comfort zone.

"I really pushed my limits. Kung may gusto akong gawin, kailangan ko talaga paghirapan at sagarin ang sarili ko. Hindi puwedeng tatenga-tenga lang," she said.

"Biggest lesson na natutunan ko po sa aking PBB journey is maniwala sa sarili. Maniwala sa sariling kakayahan," she added.

Hard work and determination became the Kapamilya star's guiding principles throughout the competition. She emphasized that nothing comes easy and that achieving dreams requires full commitment.

Despite emerging as the season’s Kapamilya Big Winner, Lella confessed that she never imagined she would take home the title.

“Hindi ko po talaga na-imagine na magiging Big Winner ako. Sobrang bago po itong lahat na nangyayari sa akin,” she said.

She also revealed that during the announcement, the victory had not fully sunk in.

“Kung nakita niyo po yung reaction ko kanina, hindi pa talaga nag-sink in sa akin. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin siya nagsi-sink in. Sobrang overwhelming pa rin po talaga,” Lella said.

The Big Night was held at the Crossroads Center stage in Quezon City on Saturday, marking the end of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0," which started airing in October 2025. It featured 20 Gen Z celebrities from Sparkle and Star Magic.

Throughout the season, viewers followed all the formed groups that braved the weekly challenges and faced the tough tasks inside the house.

The season featured appearances from notable celebrity guests, including Vice Ganda, Gladys Reyes, Miguel Tanfelix, Bianca Gonzalez, Ruru Madrid, and more.
