With overflowing gratitude and disbelief, Mika Salamanca looked back on her Pinoy Big Brother journey—one that began with nothing more than a suitcase and a dream, and ended with history made.
“Pumasok ako ng PBB na may dalang konting damit at pangarap lang,” Mika wrote in her now-viral thank-you post. “Kaya hindi ko inexpect na aabot ako sa dulo, ‘cause wdym umabot talaga TAYO sa dulo?! NO WAYYYYY, legit?”
From an emotional entrance to an unforgettable finale, Mika’s authenticity, humor, and heart won over millions of fans across the nation.
On The Big Night, Mika and her partner Brent Manalo—known collectively as BreKa—were officially crowned as the first-ever Big Winners of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition. Their victory marked a milestone not just in reality TV history, but in how realness and resilience can win hearts.
To her fans, Mika had this to say:
“Kayo po ang tunay na Big Winner.”
