(1st UPDATE) Congratulations, BreKa!

MANILA, Philippines – Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition wrapped up its historic run with BreKa — Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca — emerging as the season’s winning duo at the grand finale on Saturday, July 5, at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.

BreKa claimed the grand prize of P1 million each after garnering 33% of the total combined votes.

Ralph de Leon and Will Ashley, or RaWi, emerged first runner-up with 25.88% of the votes to win P500,000 each.   

The CharEs tandem of Charlie Fleming and Esnyr wound up third (22.91%) for a prize of P300,000 each, while AZ Martinez and River Joseph, or AzVer, copped P200,00 each after finishing fourth (8.77%).

The Big Night was also attended by celebrity guests like Michelle Dee, Bianca Umali, and Donny Pangilinan.

This season introduced the “Celebrity Collab” twist, pairing up well-known personalities from various platforms across entertainment — actors, singers, vloggers — into duos that lived and bonded together, and competed with one another from Day 1. The result was a mix of drama and warmth, spotlighting how each pair managed tasks, evictions, and interactions.

Since they’ve been paired up, this season saw two Big Winners for the first time. 

And in another first, the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemates were a mix of celebrity talents from former rival networks ABS-CBN and GMA.

The final stretch of the reality series featured the “One Million Vote Challenge,” which aired during the July 3 and 4 episodes, where the big four remaining duos — AzVer, BreKa, CharEs, and RaWi — went head-to-head in the two-part, high-stakes final task for the chance to earn bonus public votes before the finale.

This season marks the third celebrity edition and 18th overall season of PBB — the Filipino version of the reality TV franchise Big Brother, where housemates live together in isolation while being filmed 24/7, competing in challenges and public votes until a winner is declared.
