Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca, collectively known as BreKa, have officially claimed the last remaining spot in the Big 4 of “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition,” following a nail-biting showdown against Dustin Yu and Bianca de Vera a.k.a. DusBi in the third and final Big Jump Challenge.
For this decisive challenge, both duos had to transfer plastic cups through a maze within Kuya’s time limit. The cups successfully transferred had to be stacked into a tower at the end, and the duo with the tallest tower would win.
Patience, endurance, and smart strategy were all put to the test. Initially, DusBi tried to move multiple cups at once but realized it wasn’t working and switched back to transferring them one by one. Bianca found her groove faster than Mika as she sped through the maze. Later, Dustin came up with techniques to carry more than one cup at a time, while BreKa eventually figured out how to speed up their transfers as well.
Midway through, Kuya required the housemate moving the cups to wear a blindfold while their partner guided them with instructions. This made the task even more challenging, especially as both teams grew tired. The two pairs then focused on building their towers as time ran out.
The challenge made Bianca and Mika emotional, as they found it tough to compete against each other after becoming close friends inside the house.
In the June 28 live episode, Kuya revealed that BreKa’s tower turned out to be taller, earning them the final slot in the Big 4. They now join CharEs (Charlie Fleming and Esnyr Ranollo), RaWi (Ralph de Leon and Will Ashley), and AZVer (AZ Martinez and River Joseph) for the Big Night.
DusBi’s loss meant they were the last evictees of this season. But they were greeted with a warm and energetic welcome from fans in the outside world.
At the end of the episode, the hosts announced that the Big Night will be held at the New Frontier Theater on Saturday, July 5, 2025. Following the opening of the voting period for the Big 4, the show brought back the BBS (Vote to Save) and BBE (Vote to Evict) voting system, which means the public can now cast their votes through the Maya app for the duo they want to save and for the duo they want to evict.
The Big Winner will be the duo with the highest average score, taking home PHP 1 million each. Second Big Placers will get PHP500,000 each, Third Big Placers PHP300,000 each, and Fourth Big Placers PHP200,000 each.
