Mika Salamanca shared her thoughts on her old videos that recently went viral after her win in the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.
She her and her duo, Brent Manalo, were hailed as Big Winners in the newest edition of Pinoy Big Brother.
In an Instagram Broadcast Channel called 'Yoma Akus,' Mika got teased by her fellow housemates Esnyr, Will Ashley, and Klarisse de Guzman about her viral 'Sino Nga Ba Siya' video.
Mika laughed it off and said, 'Paplano-plano pa ako ng album this year, meron na pala.

Through her manager, Katrina Aguila, GMANetwork.com jokingly asked about these videos and if she's still pushing throught with her planned music album.
'Actually teaser po yun ng newest album ko [laughing emoji],' Mika replied.
'It's really funny and amusing kasi nung bata ako lagi nila ko vini-video and nung bata ako. Yung Mika na maliit, gusto niya talaga maging sikat. Who would have taught na aabot talaga sa ganito na state? Pero ill give the moment muna sa batang Mika.'
In a separate Facebook post, her other talent manager, Jan Enriquez explained why Mika had so many videos doing cover of popular songs.
He said, 'So i asked Mika san galing yung viral videos nya nung bata sya bilang all over my timeline ano [laughing emoji]. Apparently, galing pala ito sa YT or socmed ni Nanay Bambie (mom nya) and the reason why may ganung videos e sinesend nila para kay Nanay. During that time kasi abroad na si Nanay at nasa Pilipinas sina Mika. So para di mangulila si Nanay e pinapadalhan lagi nila ng videos para maaliw at mapangiti ito [heart and sad emojis] Laya naman pala todo perform tong big winner natin o! Cuuuute story! Grabe this girl puts so much heart in everything she does [heart emojis]. Bless your good heart our dear Mika.'
Now that she is back in the outside world, Mika hopes to do more projects.
'Im looking forward to working po,' she told GMANetwork.com.
'Kasi to be able to work means I can also give more. This way, I'll have more means to do my passion. My final goal po kasi talaga in life is to be a channel of blessing. I guess I'm excited to do that po.'
As promised, Mika donated her PhP1 million cash prize to Duyan Ni Maria Children's Home, an orphanage in Mabalacat, Pampanga. She also visited a community for the elderly recently.
