Joaquin Arce after his PBB journey: 'Kuya, panaginip lang po ba ito?'

Joaquin Arce is still over the moon following his "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" journey.

In an Instagram Reel, the rising Kapamilya talent shared moments from the Big Night.

"Kuya, panaginip lang po ba ito?" Joaquin said in his caption. "Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat! Sana po makapagpasalamat ako sa inyo personally soon."

To end his post, Joaquin said, "To God be the glory!"

Meanwhile, Joaquin's stepmom, actress Angel Locsin, shared a rare update about Joaquin's homecoming on X.

"It felt like he didn't want the night to end—all of us huddled on the living room floor, eating whatever late-night food he'd been craving for months," Angel said.

"He's so excited to share his stories from inside, and we're doing our best to catch him up on the outside world after four months in the 'PBB' house," she added.

Angel also said Joaquin still looks for his lapel mic.

"[He's] excited to work, thank everyone who supported him, and finally say hi to the outside world," Angel said.

Throughout the season, Angel often praised Joaquin through her posts on X. She also defended him from being called a "nepo baby."

Joaquin also called Angel his mentor.

Joaquin was named the "PBB" third Big Placer alongside Ashley Sarmiento. Caprice Cayetano and Lella Ford were named Big Winners.

Stayed up till 2pm yesterday — Neil finally slept around 3pm. We were just talking to Joaquin with the family. It felt like he didn’t want the night to end — all of us huddled on the living room floor, eating whatever late-night food he’d been craving for months.

He’s so excited…
