Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca, also known as the Selfless Duo BreKa, were named the Big Winner Duo. The second-place big winners were Ralph de Leon and Will Ashley, or RaWi.

Days before the Big Night, many people were predicting that CharEs would be the big winner, and I watched intently during the finale to see the final verdict.

Esnyr had high hopes, too, and who wouldn't?

"We've been vocal about it (to be a big winner), especially me, but before the Big Night, Charlie and I were praying, surrendering everything to the Lord. That's why I felt that what happened was truly the Lord's will for all of us. It's not about losing but accepting His grace," said Esnyr.

Charlie, on the other hand, was vocal about her appreciation for people who expressed their love and support. "It's really the love that we receive from the people and the acceptance that we receive from them. That's the big winner moment."
