Heath Jornales reflects on growth, finding his voice in 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0'

Heath Jornales opened up about the biggest lesson he learned during his four-month stay in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0."

In an interview with GMA News Online, Heath shared that the most important realization he had was learning to embrace his true self and stand firm on his own beliefs.

"Biggest lesson na natutunan ko sa Bahay ni Kuya, I guess, is to just be myself. Or like, parang to stand my ground on what I like and what I don't like," Heath said.

"Kasi before going in here, I guess I was the guy na parang sumasabay lang sa gusto ng iba. And I didn't really have an opinion of my own," he added.

However, the experience inside the house helped him develop the courage to speak up and form his own perspectives.

"So I guess the greatest thing that I learned there is to parang have my own opinion on something," he said.

Heath also said that his experience in Bahay ni Kuya helped him to grow more. He also credited fellow housemate Joaquin Arce for playing a significant role in his growth.

"Tsaka sa tulong ni Joaquin, I grew. He really guided me," he said.

Heath emerged as the Kapuso 2nd Big Placer alongside Kapamilya star Krystal Mejes during the season's Big Night on Saturday.

"Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" started airing in October 2025.

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.

Fans were also treated to the season's most memorable ships, from CarTon to CapEath, which kept viewers kilig throughout the episodes.
