MANILA — Fresh from their eviction from “Pinoy Big Brother,” Iñigo Jose and Lee Victor shared their reflections on life inside PBB house, the lessons they learned, and what lies ahead for them outside.
In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News, Jose said he feels happy and excited to reunite with his family and friends, especially with the holidays approaching.
While adjusting to life outside, he admitted missing the strong bond among the housemates, particularly the conversations, teamwork during tasks, and his close connection with Miguel and Rave.
“Lahat sila, I was able to build a nice connection with. So, it’s hard din na syempre nandito na ako ngayon. I was able to build a family inside,” he said.
Meanwhile, Victor described mixed emotions, sadness paired with joy, as he looks forward to spending Christmas and his birthday with his family.
He said he deeply misses fellow housemates, especially Heath, whom he described as a brother, as well as Lella, Ashley, and Princess.
“Ang nami-miss ko sa boys talaga si Heath. Grabe yung bond na nangyari sa amin dalawa ni Heath… Masasabi kong expected ko siya,” Victor expressed.
“Nami-miss ko si Lella kasi siya yung tinuturing “Mom” ko sa loob ng bahay ni kuya. And madami kaming sweet moments ni Lella,” he added.
Both ex-housemates proudly shared their takeaways from “Kuya” and experiences as a whole while inside the house.
Jose learned to face problems head-on and become more sensitive to others’ feelings, realizing that being right is less important than understanding one another. While Victor emphasized the discipline and maturity he gained inside the house, noting the importance of respect, boundaries, and taking Kuya’s rules seriously.
Jose encouraged supporters and critics alike to watch his interviews to get to know him better, expressing gratitude for the feedback that continues to help him grow.
“Continue spreading your support sa akin and sa aming mga housemates kasi nandito kami para matuto, hindi kami perpekto,” he said.
Looking ahead, they teased upcoming guestings, interviews, performances, and this coming January, Victor announced that he will be releasing his debut single titled “Nagkakahiyaan,” alongside more acting projects.
