Lella Ford, Caprice Cayetano win collaboration season

The doors closed for the final time, the lights dimmed, and cheers filled the studio as the collaboration season came to an emotional close. After weeks of challenges, alliances and personal breakthroughs, two names rose above the rest — proving this edition was defined more by unity than rivalry.

Kapamilya housemate Lella Ford and Kapuso housemate Caprice Cayetano emerged as the season’s champions, earning the highest public support from viewers across both fandoms. Their victories underscored the success of the show’s cross-network experiment, where artists from different management groups lived under one roof and shared a single journey.

The announcement sparked an outpouring of emotion onstage. Tears, hugs and laughter marked the moment as fellow housemates rushed forward to celebrate. The audience roared while families watched from the sidelines, turning the finale into a heartfelt reunion rather than a tense showdown.

Executives from both networks formally presented the grand prizes, highlighting the partnership that shaped the season. Loved ones joined the celebration, including Caprice’s parents and Lella’s family, making the win feel deeply personal.

Heath Jornales and Krystal Mejes finished as second placers, followed by Ashley Sarmiento and Joaquin Arce in third place. Princess Aliyah and Miguel Vergara rounded out the finalists in fourth place. Each received cash prizes in recognition of their growth and journey inside the house.

Before the final announcement, the Ultimate 8 faced one last twist — a challenge that allowed earned advantages to be given to another housemate. The move turned the finale into a display of generosity, with contestants choosing friendship over strategy and reflecting the bonds formed during their stay.

The celebration extended beyond the competition, with performances from popular P-pop acts and returning alumni transforming the Big Night into a concert-style farewell.

More than crowning winners, the finale highlighted a season where competition gave way to camaraderie — and where two entertainment worlds shared one stage and one story.
