Still, he revealed that he makes a conscious effort to steer clear of negativity online. “I don’t read too much comments <em>po</em>,<em> kasi </em>I don’t want stuff to get in my head too much. <em>Pero</em>, <em>ayun</em>, sometimes I read some criticism <em>po</em>,” he admitted.</p><p>Rather than letting it affect him personally, Heath chooses to take feedback constructively, especially when it comes to honing his skills in singing and dancing.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775552023279embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A0927 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775552038119embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A0932 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ashley Sarmiento</strong></div><p>Fresh from her reality show stint, Ashley is embracing the wave of overwhelming support and newfound popularity with nothing but gratitude—and zero regrets.</p><p>The former housemate candidly shared that she wouldn’t change a single thing about her journey inside the <em>PBB</em> house, believing that every moment unfolded exactly as it should for her growth.</p><p>“<em>Wala po talaga akong </em>regrets, and I think <em>nangyari &#x27;yung mga dapat mangyari para sa ikabubuti ng PBB</em> journey <em>ko</em>. <em>Natutuwa ako sa kung ano &#x27;yung naging</em> experience <em>ko rin</em>, no regrets,” she said.</p><p>Stepping back into the outside world, Ashley couldn’t help but share a lighthearted yet heartfelt message to her mom: “Mommy, <em>sikat na ako</em>.”</p><p>She then added, “<em>Sobrang</em> happy <em>ako</em> and, <em>sobrang</em> overflowing <em>po ako</em> with love.

So, <em>kapag naman alam ko na makatutulong sa akin</em>, of course, <em>nag</em>-reflect <em>ako</em>,” she explained.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551846258embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A1094 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551871978embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A1144 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Lee Victor</strong></div><p>Before stepping into the <em>PBB</em> house, Lee admitted he had always relied heavily on his parents, unfamiliar with basic life skills like cooking and navigating daily responsibilities on his own, often depending on their guidance in almost everything he did.</p><p>But his journey inside the iconic house marked a turning point. “When I entered that house, it was a new domain, a new experience. It was an amazing thing that happened to me because now that I feel like I became more mature. I did things I’ve never done before, like cooking my own food,” he shared.</p><p>Beyond personal growth, Lee also highlighted how drastically his support system changed after his stint. Before joining the show, he said his circle of supporters was limited to family and close friends.</p><p>That all shifted the moment he stepped back into the outside world. “Once I got evicted, I saw the lights, I saw Lee Victor, the color green. <em>Nagulat ako</em>, I saw my baby pictures, and then the team Lee Victor, <em>nag</em>-melt <em>ako</em>,” he recalled.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551724978embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A1051 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551814320embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A1047 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Clifford</strong></div><p>Accountability stands out as one of the biggest lessons Clifford took away from his journey inside the <em>PBB</em> house—something he openly admitted didn’t come easy for him at first. “<em>Hindi ko kayang tanggapin &#x27;yung mga mali ko</em>,” he confessed.</p><p>Now, Clifford shared that while embracing accountability remains a work in progress, he has already taken meaningful steps toward owning his actions and growing from them.</p><p>The reality star also had a candid realization during the interview, revealing that life after the show brought unexpected changes to his personality. With his rising popularity, he noticed himself becoming more reserved and shy.</p><p>Still, fans can expect that familiar playful side of Clifford to return soon. “I really hope <em>na</em> sooner,<em> mas lumabas pa yung kulit ko kasi,</em> <em>sa ngayon</em>, <em>parang medyo bumalik ‘yung pagkamahiyain ko</em>,” he said.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551593015embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A0953 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551609515embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A0962 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Marco Masa</strong></div><p>For Marco, his <em>PBB</em> journey unfolded in a completely different way, marked by redemption and a powerful second chance. After initially being evicted, he made a comeback through the wildcard twist, a moment he now considers his proudest inside the iconic house.</p><p>“<em>Noong nalaman ko na ako &#x27;yung binoto ng taong baya</em><em>n</em>, it came with a lot of pressure, of course. <em>Pero mas nangibabaw sa akin &#x27;yung</em> eagerness <em>ko</em> to get back inside the house. <em>Kasi</em> I really wanted to prove something,” he shared.</p><p>As one of the most recognizable child stars of his generation, Marco also opened up about how the experience reignited his passion for his craft. Transitioning into more mature roles hasn’t always been easy, but being inside the house—and feeling the overwhelming support from fans once again—served as a reminder of why he does what he does.</p><p>Now, more than ever, Marco says he is fully committed to his career, driven by a renewed love for his artistry.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551561416embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A1158 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775551500015embed_pbb celeb collab edition 2__80A1155 (1)a.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Produced by <strong>Grace Libero-Cruz</strong></p><div><strong></strong></div><p>Photography by <strong>Rxandy Capinpin</strong></p><p>Interviewers and video producers: <strong>Lance Joseph Martinez</strong>, <strong>Arci Claveria</strong>, and <strong>Tricia Matias</strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></p><div><strong></strong><br/></div><div></div>
