MANILA — BINI members Jhoanna and Stacey thought they were wrapping up their stint in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition with a heartfelt farewell—but Kuya had other plans.
In Wednesday night’s episode, the duo cooked sinigang for their housemates and handed out BINI merchandise as parting gifts. The housemates even threw them a surprise send-off party. But just as emotions were peaking, Kuya summoned Stacey to the confession room.
There, she was told that only one of them could exit the PBB house, and she had to choose who would stay behind. A visibly torn Stacey chose Jhoanna, saying she believed her groupmate would handle the extension better, as she had shown interest in staying and was more emotionally attached to the experience.
Jhoanna was shocked when told the news, initially suspecting it was a prank. She was right.
Kuya then revealed a twist: Jhoanna would become the first-ever “invisible housemate.” Her task? To silently remove her belongings without any housemate seeing her—if she failed, she’d have to stay even longer.
The prank reached its emotional peak when Jhoanna, thinking she’d left on a cold note after ignoring her housemates during the task, became tearful in the confession room. She worried her final moments had hurt her friends.
But Kuya gave her a chance to make things right—100 seconds to say goodbye properly. She reappeared to stunned housemates, shared hugs and gratitude, and finally got her heartfelt farewell.
