After stepping out of “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0,” Heath Jornales is slowly discovering a stronger, more confident version of himself.
For many viewers, Heath was known inside Kuya’s house as the quiet and shy housemate — someone who often stayed in the background. But now that he’s back in the outside world, the Kapuso Second Big Placer is ready to face that image head-on.
And he’s being honest about it.
In an interview with GMA News Online, Heath was asked what narrative about him he wants to correct now that his PBB journey has ended.
Without hesitation, he answered simply.
That he’s “mahiyain.”
“Na mahiyain ako. Kasi ngayon, I’m still working on it. Pero, yeah… more confident now, at least. Yeah, more confident,” Heath shared.
His words carried both humility and determination — a quiet promise that he’s still growing, still improving.
Lessons from Kuya’s house
For Heath, the experience inside the PBB house wasn’t just about tasks, nominations, or weekly challenges.
It was about transformation.
He said the biggest changes he noticed were not only in his mindset — but also in how he carries himself today.
“Sa tingin ko, the biggest change was how I look and how I act,” Heath said.
Inside Kuya’s house, every day was a learning experience. Every challenge, every conversation, every moment pushed him to discover parts of himself he hadn’t seen before.
“Parang I learned so much more stuff in Kuya’s house and I got to implement most of it… and a lot of it dito sa outside world,” he added.
Now that he’s outside, Heath is slowly applying those lessons — step by step, moment by moment.
Overwhelmed by love from fans
But beyond personal growth, there’s something else that left a deep mark on Heath.
The overwhelming love from his supporters.
During and after the show, fans rallied behind him, cheering him on through every nomination night and every emotional moment inside the house.
And that support did not go unnoticed.
“It made me realize how much support they give me,” Heath said.
For him, that love is not something he wants to take for granted.
“Parang I really want to take care of that. And I want to have them in my life forever.”
His gratitude is genuine — and heartfelt.
Giving back to the people who believed in him
Heath knows that his journey doesn’t end with PBB.
In many ways, it’s only beginning.
And as he steps into this new chapter of his career, he wants to make sure he gives back to the people who helped him get here.
“I also want to support them po. I want to give back sa kanila dahil sila po ang dahilan kung bakit po ako nandito,” he said.
“ nagpapasalamat po sa kanila na sobra.”
Those words reflect the kind of person Heath wants to be — someone who never forgets the people who stood by him.
A memorable PBB season
“Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0” first aired in October 2025, bringing together celebrities and personalities who faced intense challenges and emotional moments inside Kuya’s house.
Week after week, viewers watched as housemates formed friendships, faced tough tasks, and battled through nominations.
The season also featured special appearances from big celebrity guests, including Vice Ganda, Gladys Reyes, Miguel Tanfelix, Bianca Gonzalez, Ruru Madrid, and more.
Fans were also treated to unforgettable loveteams that captured hearts online — from CarTon to CapEath, which kept viewers swooning throughout the show.
And for Heath Jornales, the experience was more than just a reality show.
It was a turning point.
A place where a shy young man began learning how to step forward… speak up… and slowly grow into the confident person he hopes to become.
