Charlie Fleming and Esnyr remain grateful and content despite not clinching the Big Winner spot on "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" and finishing as the third big placers.
In Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," Wednesday, the CharEs duo looked back on how they felt when their placement was revealed during the Big Night.
"I really wasn't expecting anything. I was just happy na po na nabalik na nga ko sa bahay at napasama sa Big Four, so I wasn't expecting Big Winner and whatever place we got, sobrang kuntento na po ako. 'Yung pagmamahal nila, Big Winner na po kami dahil dun," Charlie said.
"Marami pong Big Winner material po sa amin kaya on that night, hindi po ako nag-expect pero siyempre, there's the hope kasi sobrang lapit na namin, gan'yan. Super happy sa mga natatanggap na reactions po ng mga tao kasi somehow, super na-appreciate po namin 'yung mga taong ni-ru-root po talaga kami na maging Big Winner," Esnyr said.
During their PBB stint, Charlie and Esnyr championed their fellow breadwinners, with Esnyr also representing the LGBT+ community.
"'Yung main goal naman po talaga namin is makapag-share kami ng kuwento namin sa bahay at maka-influence kami gamitin namin 'yung platform namin sa mga taong nire-represent po namin, para sa mga breadwinners, para sa mga probinsyana, at siyempre para sa LGBTQIA+ community," Esnyr said.
For CharEs, the Big Tapatan challenge with the evicted housemates was one of the highlights of their PBB journey, which they said they did not prepare for.
"'Yun po talaga 'yung totoong mga nararamdaman po namin at totoong thoughts po namin about the questions po na naibato po sa amin," Esnyr said.
"The only thing I told Esnyr was 'Let's be graceful, let's handle it with grace,' na hindi kami mang-iinsulto on whatever emotions we will feel. I'm proud of us kasi even if we raised our voices to be heard, we've never given an insult to each and every one of them kasi we still handled it with love po," Charlie said.
During their stay, Charlie was called immature, while Esnyr was called playing safe.
"Yes, I'm misunderstood but I hope people know that in my generation, a lot of us are misunderstood also, and if they could really give people chances, if they could really give the teens in my generation chances po, they would really understand them and get to see to see the good spots in them just like how they gave me a chance inside the house po," Charlie said.
"Hindi ko talaga alam pa'no po nila nasabing playing safe ako kasi siguro po ako lang po 'yung walang kalaban sa bahay. Feeling po siguro talaga nila na—kasi ako, kilala po talaga ko na nagbi-bring ng light sa house," Esnyr said.
Esnyr said that all he wanted was to spread positivity inside the house and share laughter with everyone.
The social media star also shared that the reality show paved the way for his reconciliation with his family.
"It's a blessing in disguise po for me kasi pumasok po ako nang hindi po OK 'yung pamilya po namin sa mga pamilya nila, tapos lumabas po ako na sobrang OK na po kaming lahat," Esnyr said.
The 20 housemates of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" are set to reunite at an event titled "The Big ColLOVE" fancon on August 10, 8 p.m., at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
"Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" is getting a second season later this year. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
