Bianca Umali, a Kapuso actress, made a deeply personal revelation during her recent stint as a house guest on “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition,” dedicating her participation to the cherished memory of her late mother, May Soler Umali.

In a heartfelt confession to “Kuya” (Big Brother), Bianca shared that her mother was a devoted fan of the reality show, a sentiment that fueled her decision to step inside the iconic PBB house.

During the episode aired on Monday, Bianca emotionally presented an old photograph of herself with her mother, explaining the profound significance of her mother’s passion for the show.

“I lost my mom when I was five to mammary cancer,” Bianca shared, her voice filled with emotion. “And in the duration of her mammary cancer journey, kayo po ang kaligayahan niya (you were her happiness).”

This touching revelation underscored the deep connection her late mother had with “Pinoy Big Brother,” making Bianca’s guesting a poignant tribute.

The Kapuso actress further revealed that the audio-video presentation featuring her mother’s memories utilized the original “Pinoy Ako” theme song by Orange & Lemons, a detail that resonated strongly with long-time viewers of the show.

“Kaya po excited ako dahil ang experience po na ito ay para sa kanya. Sobrang maraming salamat po,” she conveyed, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to honor her mother through this experience.

Kuya, in turn, acknowledged the weight of her dedication, stating, “Maraming salamat dahil naging bahagi ako at ang bahay ko kahit paano sa buhay ng nanay mo. Alam ko kung gaano ka-espesyal ang sandaling ito.”

Bianca’s mother, May Soler Umali, succumbed to mammary cancer in 2005 when Bianca was only five years old.

Her father, Jose Vicente Umali, also passed away in 2010 due to a heart attack, leaving Bianca to be raised by her paternal grandmother, Victorina.

Despite the early loss, Bianca has consistently honored her parents’ memory, including actively engaging in mammary cancer awareness campaigns.

She has notably partnered with The Medical City to launch “Babae Sa Babae,” a three-part video series aimed at fostering discussions about mammary cancer and providing access to screening programs.

Her appearance on “Pinoy Big Brother” as a celebrity house guest was a significant event for both Kapuso and Kapamilya viewers, marking a notable collaboration between GMA Network and ABS-CBN.

Before Bianca, other prominent Kapuso personalities such as David Licauco and Gabbi Garcia also graced the PBB house.

The revelation of her mother’s battle with cancer and her dedication to the show added another layer of depth to her PBB journey, resonating with a wide audience.

Online reactions to Bianca’s confession were varied, reflecting both empathy and general fan excitement.

Comments on social media platforms ranged from expressions of admiration for her emotional strength to simple greetings and welcoming messages. Some users acknowledged her reserved public persona, noting observations like “siya yung madalas masabihan na masungit or snob ng mga artista kasi tahimik lang siya.. pero kapag nakilala raw nang maayos at inapproack, sobrang bait daw” (she's often labeled as grumpy or snobbish by artists because she's quiet.. but when you get to know her properly and approach her, she's very kind).

Other comments focused on her physical resemblance to other actresses or simply offered words of encouragement.

The overall sentiment underscored the public's engagement with her personal narrative and her presence on the popular reality show.

“Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” continues to air new episodes, showcasing various celebrity house guests and their journeys.

Bianca Umali is well-known for her acting prowess, and her fame continues to rise. Her performances in numerous TV programs have distinguished her from other personalities in the entertainment world. She has starred in many projects such as Once Upon a Kiss, Aruga ng Puso, Sahaya, and Mga Basang Sisiw.

Last month, Bianca shared photos and videos from her retreat where she meditated, danced, and played with a dog. Her boyfriend Ruru Madrid appeared in some of the pics showing his support. The Kapuso star reflected on her current life phase focused on letting go, authenticity, personal growth, and self-love.

In March of this year, Bianca's beau, Ruru Madrid, penned the ultimate love letter. On Instagram, Ruru uploaded a series of photos from Bianca's recent birthday party.
