Sofia “Fyang” Smith, the grand winner of Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11, has opened up about her transformative journey inside ‘Pinoy Big Brother’s’ house, describing it as a life-changing experience.
Fyang emerged victorious on October 26, 2024, after earning 30.66% of viewer votes. Her win marks the culmination of a 14-week stay filled with challenges, lessons, and personal growth.
During her final conversation with Big Brother, Fyang candidly shared her thoughts on joining the competition.
“Kung hindi ako pumasok dito sa bahay mo, wala akong character development. Sobrang laki ng binago mo sa buhay ko, Kuya,” she said. “Ito yung biggest and most tama kong ginawa, right decision I’ve ever made in my entire life.”
Big Brother praised Fyang’s resilience and emotional strength, encouraging her to prioritize her happiness as she continues her journey beyond the show.
“Bagama’t hindi madaling tahakin ang daan sa paghihilom, hindi ito imposible. At sa pagkakakilala ko sa’yo, likas ang lakas at pagtitiwala mo sa iyong sarili,” Big Brother said.
Fyang now joins the prestigious roster of ‘Pinoy Big Brother’ champions, which includes James Reid, Maymay Entrata, Kim Chiu, and Melai Cantiveros. Like many of her predecessors, she plans to venture into showbiz and hopes to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
