The Top 5 'PBB: Celebrity Collab' Big Night Moments We're Unapologetically Obsessed With

Emotions filled up the New Frontier Theater as it welcomed the housemates' family, friends, and their fans who all came to cheer for them on the Big Night. After all, the 20 celebrity housemates endured almost five months of challenges, success, and dramatic changes inside Bahay Ni Kuya (BNK).

Inside BNK, friendships were formed, and even love teams started to bloom. But above all, the housemates built something deeper: a bond and a fresh perspective on celebrity connections. One that resonated not just with viewers in the Philippines but with audiences around the world. *wink*

Needless to say, the entire Internet was locked in last night, counting down to the final rankings of the Big Winner Duos—and yes, that includes us here at Cosmo. While we loved everything that went down during the Big Night, we couldn't help but round up our Top 5 favorite moments from the celebration.

Of course, we're first talking about Brent and Mika's winning moment. Let's be real: we all had our Big Winner picks from the Big Four, namely, Charlie Fleming & Esnyr, Ralph De Leon & Will Ashley, AZ Martinez & River Joseph, and BreKa. But everyone agrees how deserving BreKa is of the top spot.

When Ralph and Will (RaWi) were announced as the second placers for the night, it took awhile before Brent and Mika fully accepted their success and fate as the first-ever Big Winner Duo.

"Totoo ba 'to? Oh my god, Brent. Big Winner kami?" Mika said as she took in the news, stunned and completely astonished. Brent hugged her and cried beside her. It's been a long time coming for the two stars.

Brent and Mika's first official appearance in the outside world since they entered BNK was made special with their mothers welcoming them back. At the Big Night stage, Brent and Mika accepted the grand prize of P1 million each. They got the highest number of votes with 33%.

"Sa totoo lang po hindi ko alam ang sasabihin kasi hindi po sapat ang salitang masaya at mahal ko kayo at salamat po. Kasi hindi po 'nun ma-explain ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Para sa inyo pong lahat 'to. Para sa pamilya ko, para sa mga nagmamahal sa amin, at para sa amin ni Brent," Mika declared when asked about her reaction to winning PBB.

Brent and Mika are Gen Z celebs representing Star Magic and Sparkle, respectively. Brent has been an actor-model since his debut, while Mika has been a thriving content creator even before she entered PBB. Now, we're sure that their path's crafted for stardom—and there's no stopping them already.

The Big Four duos spent over a hundred days inside BNK, and naturally, the bonds they built won't end with their PBB journey. As the season wrapped, each pair shared heartfelt messages that were equal parts sweet and powerful—marking not just the end of their reality show stint, but the beginning of friendships that could last well beyond the cameras.

"You allowed me to be more comfortable in my story. You are one of the most sweetest and compassionate soul in this house [...] When they say final duo, ikaw 'yung unang pumasok sa isip ko. Someone I can relate to, someone I can share stories to, someone who can really understand me," Charlie told Esnyr. They were the first duo to be announced as part of the Big Four Duos during the season.

Esnyr also expressed his appreciation for Charlie who chose him as her final duo, despite Esnyr ranking 12 in the challenges. "'Nung naging final duo tayo, sinabihan mo ako na I am your first choice despite the fact na nag-rank 12 ako. Sobrang vinalidate mo ako. Pangako I will be your Ate-Kuys, dito sa Bahay, o sa outside world man," Esnyr said.

Ralph and Will reflected on the brotherhood they built inside the house—promising that their friendship will continue long after the show ends. "Sobrang bilib ako sa fighting spirit mo, as in, alam mo 'yan. Ngayon magka-duo tayo, talagang nilaban natin pareho 'yung spot na 'to, kung nasaan man tayo ngayon. 'Yung mapo-promise ko sa'yo, 'yung pagiging magkapatid, hanggang paglabas 'yan bro. Hindi magbabago 'yung nabuo natin dito," Will told Ralph.

"Lahat ng mga plano natin, hindi 'yun drawing. Isang tawag lang talaga, andun ako. It's the least I could do, for someone who supported me throughout this whole 100+ days. Let me do the same," Ralph assured him as well.

AZ and River, both tagged as the v emotional housemates, didn't hold back as they looked back on their BNK journey and how it helped them grow in ways they never expected. "I saw a different AZ. I saw an AZ who had so much faith, who was a fighter, never giving up. I'm so proud of you, how much you've grown... I promise that I'll always be a big brother to you even outside of this House. I'll always be there," River told AZ.

AZ also shared, "Nasabi mo na, you might look weak because you were crying a lot. Pero, honestly, that was the strongest that I've seen you. You always want to be there, to fill their cups. I'll always be there to listen to you."

And then there's BreKa, who continues to show just how solid a platonic bond can be—making a strong case for genuine, lasting friendship in a world that often expects romance. 

"You became my best friend in the House. We were honest with each other, and we really protected each other even if we weren't duos. Thank you, Mila. Thank you, Mika, for keeping me in check. If you feel like things are falling apart, I'll help you pick up the pieces. Thank you for sharing your heart, Mika," Brent said.

"Ramdam na ramdam talaga namin 'yung nakita naming kabutihan mo. I'm always gonna be proud of you. I'm always gonna love you, proud of you kung sino ka and kung sino pa 'yung magiging ikaw," Mika concluded.

The Internet has its fair share of fave duos and love teams throughout the season. And well, for us, Will and Bianca (a.k.a. WillCa) might have been our TOTGA. So, when we got a glimpse of them together during the Big Night, we were ecstatic, LOL.

It definitely made our list of favorite moments: that quick but meaningful hug between Will and Bianca onstage after the Big Winner announcements. It may have been brief—and easy to miss for some—but not for us. We saw everything. *double eye emoji*

ICYDK, Bianca and Will shared some history in the past that might seem to be romantic. The two starred in the series Unbreak My Heart in 2023 and formed a bond while working together. (Yes, PBB wasn't their first rodeo.)

"Never ko 'to Kuya nasabi, or even sa kanya, or ayoko siya aminin sa sarili ko 'nung time na 'yun, but I really, really, really, really, really, really cared about him two years ago," Bianca once admitted inside Kuya's confession room back in April.

She added, "Dumating sa point na, aaminin ko, nasaktan ako. Feeling ko hindi siya naging man enough para aminin 'yun two years ago. It took me two years to get over that. Seeing him again, I was just really scared to start again."

"Tagal din naming hindi nakapag-usap din kasi, bigla na lang nawala. Walang kahit anong explanation," Will said for his part.

Throughout the season, the two slowly found their way back to each other, as friends—and yep, fans were definitely rooting for them. Some even pointed out the undeniable "yearning" they saw every time Will and Bianca shared a moment on screen.

Luckily, Shuvee seems to have one in the form of new Sparkle artist Anthony Constantino. But during the Big Night, Shuvee was not only with Anthony, but also with her ultimate happy crush, Donny.

Sparkle uploaded a photo of Shuvee standing between Donny and Anthony, with the caption, "TDH x 2. Check na check talaga 'yan kay Shuvee."

In a video uploaded on X (formerly Twitter), Donny was also seen greeting Shuvee along with Xyriel Manabat and Ashley Ortega backstage. And well, Shuvee was kilig all over in their short but sweet interaction. Go girl! :)

Admittedly, at the start of the season, many of us only recognized a few names—while some housemates were complete strangers. But now, after months of watching them laugh, cry, grow, and connect, we've gotten a real glimpse into who they are beyond the surface. We've seen their quirks, strengths, and raw moments—proof that they're more than ready to step into the spotlight.

Big congratulations to BreKa for making history as the first-ever Celebrity Big Winner Duo. But beyond the title, we're celebrating all the housemates. Whether they made it to the end or not, they walked out with something bigger than a title: the confidence to be real, the guts to be vulnerable, and the quiet win that comes with showing up as exactly who they are inside the Pinoy Big Brother house.

From Cosmo to the housemates, cheers to you guys!
