After emerging onstage, a tearful Salamanca said the phrases “thank you,” “I love you,” and “happy” were not enough to describe what she felt after their win.
“Honestly, I don’t know what to say. The words “happy,” “I love you,” and “thank you” are not enough to describe what I feel. This is for you, my family, and to those who love Brent and me,” she said.
Manalo, while holding back his tears, said: “I just want to say that as long as you fight with heart, anything is possible. God is good. Thank you very much.”
Salamanca and Manalo bagged P1,000,000 each as a prize.
On the other hand, RaWi, CharEs, and AZver will take home P500,000, P300,000, and P200,000, respectively.
Throughout their “PBB” stay, the actress-vlogger is known for her calm and straightforward personality, while the Star Magic star is notable for his quiet yet upfront nature, especially when the situation calls for it. /edv
