Though eviction usually signals a lack of backing, it was the opposite for these three. Their goodbyes trended across social media, with netizens flooding their comment sections with heartwarming messages. The trio, moved by the outpouring of support, responded with deep gratitude.

Sparkle captured a touching moment with Ashley just outside the PBB house, where she sent her love to her fans: “Sa lahat po ng supporters ko at nagmahal sa akin sa PBB, maraming-maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat,” she said.

Ashley shared that she’s still processing everything, feeling “super overwhelmed,” but promised to find time to reply to everyone.

Meanwhile, Charlie took to Instagram to reflect on her journey, feeling grateful for the recognition she’s received: “I’m overwhelmed with so much love and joy knowing people from all over the Philippines has recognized me as Charlie the bubbly bread teener. Not a character, not a content creator, not a model, but Charlie!” she shared.

Shortly after his own eviction, Michael left fans with an inspiring message: “I walked into PBB with hope and walked out with family, growth, and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you to everyone outside who believed in me, your love carried me through it all.”

Fans were quick to express how much they believed in Ashley, Charlie, and Michael. Many considered them part of their Big 4 predictions, or even Big Winner material.  

“Ashley deserves to stay,” many commented. “She was one of the most genuine housemates.”

Netizens also lamented Charlie’s early exit with comments like “Sayang” and “We have lost another Big 4 material.”  

Michael was affectionately dubbed by fans as “The Big Winner We Failed to Protect.”

Despite their PBB journeys being cut short, opportunities outside the house are already opening up for them. Ashley, the first Sparkle artist to leave the house, has joined the cast of GMA’s action series “Lolong: Ang Pangil ng Maynila” with her duo partner AC Bonifacio and is now the newest endorser of Luxe Slim under Luxe Beauty and Wellness Group.

Charlie, the next to be evicted, has since performed at the Sparkle Campus Cutie NU Clark leg, where she was enthusiastically received by hundreds of students. She also made memorable appearances at Bench Fashion Week and the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 Charity Gala. Recently, her fans even sponsored her very first LED billboard along EDSA Guadalupe.

Michael, the latest evictee, remains upbeat and has quickly found a new home as a host-mate on “Unang Hirit,” charming audiences with his warm, magnetic presence and winning even more hearts with his bromance with duo partner Emilio Daez.

The trio have done back-to-back guestings on “Unang Hirit,” “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” “TiktoClock,” and “It’s Showtime,” along with event performances all over Metro Manila and the provinces—each appearance trending and reminding fans just how beloved they are. 

They’re also cherished by Sparkle itself, with all three receiving their own special homecomings at the Sparkle office after their exits, warmly welcomed back by the bosses, staff, and friends.

Fans continue to rally behind the Kapuso former housemates, promising to support their new ventures, demanding more projects from GMA, and even pushing for a possible return to PBB through Wildcard Duos or House Challenger slots. The continued love and longing for their presence show the impact they’ve made.

Ashley, Charlie, and Michael captured the hearts of viewers by staying true to themselves, embodying the most valued trait in PBB: pagpapakatotoo. For that, they’ll always be winners in the eyes of their fans.

Their time in the house might be over, but outside, it’s only the beginning. They’ve emerged as even bigger stars and inspirations, and their future is shining brighter than ever.
