“Unang una sa lahat, tulad ng sabi ko sa speech ko nung big night, THANK YOU LORD!! sa lahat ng strength, blessings, at guidance na binigay Niyo sakin lalo na sa pagbabalik ko sa bahay ni kuya (First of all, just like I said in my speech on Big Night—THANK YOU, LORD!! For all the strength, blessings, and guidance You gave me, especially during my return to Kuya’s house),” he wrote.
“Ikaw po talaga ang rason kung bakit naging ganito ang takbo ng kwento ko. Naging ilaw Ka naming lahat sa buong pananatili namin sa bahay (You are truly the reason why my story turned out this way. You were the light for all of us throughout our stay in the house),” he added.
The 24-year-old actor also thanked his duo partner, Will Ashley, and applauded how much he had grown during their time on the show.
“Will, sobrang proud ako sa’yo. anlayo ng narating natin (I’m so proud of you, we’ve come such a long way)… I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to be your duo and see just how far our dynamics and relationship can take us. I know bigger stages are waiting for us, and i would be honored to be by your side through it all,” he said, adding that he would always be rooting for him in the outside world.
He also expressed his sincerest gratitude to the fans who believed in him and gave him a second chance inside the iconic PBB house.
On May 10, he was evicted alongside his duo partner, Josh Ford. However, he was given another shot at returning to the PBB house through the wildcard twist. Charlie Fleming, who was also previously evicted, won the wildcard round representing the Kapuso side.

“Please accept my most heartfelt gratitude for all the love you’ve shown me since day one. Tulad ng sinabi ko bago ako pumasok ulit, para sa inyo na talaga yung laban ko. Every task I got was an opportunity to prove na hindi kayo nagkamali na piliin ako sa wildcard (Just like I said before I came back, that fight was truly for all of you. Every task I faced was an opportunity to prove that you didn’t make a mistake in choosing me for the wildcard),” he shared.
“The last thing I wanted to happen was for your trust to be misplaced and sana, sa pagkamit nating lahat ng 2nd big placer, proud kayo sa narating ko (Now that we’ve reached 2nd Big Placer, I hope you’re proud of everything I’ve achieved). You all deserved to be on top of that stage as much as [I] did. mahal na mahal na mahal ko kayo (I love you all so much).”
Finally, he concluded his message with: “To all the people who made this collab possible and gave me a chance to truly show who I am, maraming maraming salamat po (thank you so much). To all the ex-housemates, thank you for making my stay one that I will bring with me my whole life. And to all my family and friends, thank you for being my rock and source of strength during my whole stay.
Prior to entering the PBB house, Ralph de Leon starred in both seasons of “Zoomers,” as well as the popular youth-oriented show “High Street.”
