So feeling ko talaga, alam namin, nireready namin ang sarili namin ng Big Winner po talaga kaya nagulat din po kami,” Mika shared.</p><p>“Di siya nag sisink in sa utak namin kasi coming from someone na isusurrender or ibibigay na yung spot tapos biglang Big Winner. Kaya hindi talaga siya nag process agad sa amin. Until now, trinatry namin na iprocess talaga and iabsorb,” she added.</p><p>Brent and Mika maintained that they just showed their true selves which translated to becoming the Big Winners. For them, having heart in everything that they do is the way to showcase who they truly are.</p><p>“Puso talaga eh. Pinakita talaga namin yung puso namin kasi may mga instances sa loob ng Bahay na baka mag kamali kami sa pag gamit ng puso namin pero ginamit pa rin namin. Nagtiwala kami sa kung ano mabibigay namin,” Mika expressed. </p><p>The duo took home ₱1 million each and revealed their plans on donating it to their chosen charity. </p>
