Kabataang Pinoy took the spotlight during the finale night of the hit "PBB Collab 2.0," with Gen Z artists serving talent and charisma in their special performances.
The whole nation stayed locked in on every 'ganap' of this historic celebration, so let’s wrap up the season with a roundup of the best moments from the "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" Big Night, held at the Crossroad Center, Saturday, February 28.
Of course, we’re starting with the jam-packed, full-energy opening production number. Reminiscent of the pilot episode, it opened with P-Pop groups BGYO and Cloud 7 performing the season’s theme song, “Kabataang Pinoy.”
The 12 ex-housemates—Waynona Collings, Reich Alim, Sofia Pablo, Fred Moser, John Clifford, Rave Victoria, Anton Vinzon, Iñigo Jose, Lee Victor, Eliza Borromeo, Carmelle Collado, and Marco Masa —reunited on stage for a dance routine, then paraded across the stage holding flags in colors corresponding to the Ultimate 8 and their respective mantra words.
We saw a flag bearing “paggalang” for Lella Ford, “paglago” for Caprice Cayetano, “pagkamatibay” for Heath Jornales, “tiwala” for Krystal Mejes, “pag-unlad” for Joaquin Arce, “paninindigan” for Ashley Sarmiento, “paglipad” for Miguel Vergara, and “paghilom” for Princess Aliyah.
The Ultimate 8 also joined in a pre-recorded dance performance that played on the LED screen on stage. And just when the energy couldn’t get any higher, JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith, also known as the JMFyang tandem of “PBB Gen 11,”joined the constellation of young stars, bringing even more swag to the colorful evening.
The Ultimate 8 members (glammed up in their color assignments), ex-housemates, their families, supporters, and special guests gathered for the Big Night.
For over 120 days inside Bahay Ni Kuya, the strength, grit, and heart of Kabataang Pinoy shone through every challenge. But above all, the housemates built friendships that could last well beyond the walls and cameras of the house, along with lessons that will guide them as they face their “totoong laban” in the outside world.
From this night forward, these young stars' paths are carved for bigger things— and there’s simply no stopping them.
