‘Saing King is back’: Ralph de Leon, Charlie Fleming back as ‘PBB’ housemates

MANILA, Philippines — A week after exiting the “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition” house, Ralph de Leon has been voted by fans to go back inside and continue his role as its undisputed “Saing King.” 

Ralph received a whopping 81. 28% of online votes at the end of last night’s voting, a week’s worth of votes through an online app. 

“Thank you so much for giving me the second chance… You wanted more, you’re gonna get more,” Ralph said in tonight’s episode before it was revealed that he was chosen by the public to reenter the famous house. 

Ralph’s stay inside the house was marked by trending “Saing King” memes, where he was often pitted against ex-housemate Emilio Daez for their "friendly" rivalry on who gets to cook rice, and three consecutive nominations with his GMA-7 pair for the week. This edition's format requires a pair, composed of talents from GMA-7 and ABS-CBN, to undergo nominations and evictions together. 

He beat his fellow ABS-CBN stars, Kira Balinger and AC Bonifacio. 

Ralph only had a week to rest and catch up with the outside world since he was booted out of the house with his duo, GMA-7 talent Josh Ford, last week. 

Josh, meanwhile, was in a tight race with his fellow GMA-7 stars Ashley Ortega and Charlie Fleming. 

In the end, Charlie beat her older GMA-7 stars to get her second chance inside the house. She exited the house together with her duo, Kira, last month.
