Ortega, alongside Star Magic’s AC Bonifacio, comprised the first duo evictee of the historic PBB Celebrity Collab Edition.
Former Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition housemate Ashley Ortega is reaching out to the next duo facing eviction from the iconic PBB house, offering her support as they transition back to the outside world. Ortega, who was evicted two weeks ago alongside her duo partner AC Bonifacio, shared her heartfelt gesture in an interview with 24 Oras on Thursday.
“I just wanna let them know na once you’re in the outside world, I’ll be here to help you process things kasi naranasan ko ‘yun,” Ortega said, reflecting on her own experience leaving the PBB house. Having spent weeks isolated from external contact, she understands the overwhelming influx of information that awaits evicted housemates.
“Yung paglabas mo parang information overload na mahirap i-process, so I’ll be here in the outside world and help you guys process,” she added.
The PBB Celebrity Collab Edition housemates, now in their fourth week inside the house, have been cut off from the outside world, with no access to news or communication beyond their fellow contestants. This unique setup, where duos from Sparkle GMA Artist Center and Star Magic compete together, has kept the housemates in a bubble, making their return to reality a potentially jarring experience.
Ortega’s offer comes just as the show prepares for its next eviction night this Saturday. The nominated duos facing the public vote are Michael Sager and River Joseph, Charlie Fleming and Kira Balinger, and Ralph De Leon and AZ Martinez. With tensions high inside the house, Ortega’s promise of support serves as a comforting reminder of camaraderie among the contestants.
Since her exit, Ortega has been embracing new opportunities. The Sparkle star is set to appear in Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila, marking a fresh chapter in her career. Despite her busy schedule, she remains committed to helping her former housemates navigate their post-PBB journey.
Ortega’s gesture highlights the bonds formed within the PBB house, even amidst the competition. As the season progresses, her words resonate as a beacon of support for those who will soon face the challenges of life outside Kuya’s walls.
Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition airs weeknights at 10:00 PM and weekends at 6:15 PM on GMA Network, with livestreams available on the PBB YouTube page, Kapamilya Online Live, and iWantTFC.
