"Pinoy Big Brother" collab edition's first evictee, AC Bonifacio, has been the center of online memes after the camera captured her and partner Ashley Ortega's reaction during the eviction night.

Speaking exclusively to ABS-CBN News after being evicted last Saturday, Bonifacio admitted she learned a lot from her reality show experience. 

"PBB really humbled me, it taught me na I'm allowed to just sit and listen," she said. "Kasi parang na-distract po ako in this world na sobrang busy and sobrang noisy. I felt like I always needed to have something to say, I needed to stand up for myself. I needed to be always just be there." 

"Pero na-realize ko po talaga na I can just sit, listen and learn. I need to understand what's going on first before I take action."

Since her exit, Bonifacio has been receiving a lot of attention online and from people around her. 

"It's very overwhelming," she admitted. "There's a lot of support, both loving and criticizing, which I really do appreciate. I'm still processing the moment, but it's a good journey. I had a good experience. I have a new family. There's new love and I can't wait to see them outside."

"Feeling ko I went through a breakup with the house and me," said Bonifacio. "I love waking up to their faces. I love saying good night to them. I love 'yung pag kailangan na naming mag-ready for sleep, pero kailangan pa naming magchikahan. It's all those small moments that I really miss."

The dancer-singer added that she misses the "book club" that they formed inside the house. "It was me, Josh, Kira, and Charlie, and we adopted Az. 'Tara labas tayo, let's just read.' We got to talk about our lives, our background. I felt very free with them," she said. 

"Every day was a new experience, nagre-reset po kami. And I got to know a new housemate, everyone is going through a different feeling. Nag-iiba siya every day."

While her time inside the PBB house was cut short, all is well for Bonifacio--and she's taking all these lessons to heart. She said she is excited for what's next for her in the outside world.
