Mga Kaunforgettabolabolabol, we heard these updates from some of the Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 ex-housemates – one is related to Kanata Tapia, the other is about DongPat, regarding their separation between Dingdong Bahan and Patrick Ramirez.
Kanata Tapia: I know my journey here is just as meaningful.
On March 31, 2026, Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 ex-housemate Kanata Tapia, also known as Kanachii and dubbed the “Lola-Ving Apo of Occidental Mindoro”, completed her journey as she graduated from the Senior High School of Rizal National High School, according to her social media post on April 1, 2026.
Thank you for seeing my potential not just as a student, but as someone who could bring pride to our school in different ways. Thank you for your endless patience, your heartfelt understanding, and your belief that I could chase my dreams and earn my diploma, Tapia said.
You didn’t just educate me; you gave me the freedom to grow into who I’m meant to be. I will always wear the name “Rizalian” with the greatest pride and love in my heart, she added.
Before her PBB Gen 11 journey, she competed in the 58th Ms. RNHS that happened on April 26, 2024 (as a part of the 58th founding anniversary of the school). Kanata was proclaimed as the 2024 Ms. Rizal NHS in the coronation night.
At the age of 16, she joined Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 as a housemate when the reality show premiered on July 20, 2026. Following her eviction with Marc Nanninga on the 2nd eviction night, she appeared in two music videos (as of October 2025), “Ako Na Sana” (Jeri Violago) and “Mahiyain” (Arkin Lagman), and played the role of Chiyaki in the iWant series titled “Tropang G.O.A.T.”
Kanata reached all the Batch 2026 graduates of RNHS; some discovered their purpose along the way. As Kanata is a part of Pride of Rizal, they have learned to rise, adapt, and lift one another, no matter where life leads us; this place will always be their home.
Patrick Ramirez: Panibagong simula.
Patrick Ramirez announces the separation of DongPat’s partner, Dingdong Bahan, on his recent Instagram post, a few years after they paired up for DongPat, more than three months before Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 premiered.
Sa loob ng halos tatlong taon, napakaraming nangyari sa buhay namin. Maraming saya, maraming natutunan, at maraming pagkakataon na nagpatibay sa amin bilang tao at bilang magkasama. Hindi naging perpekto ang lahat, pero totoo ang lahat ng pinagsamahan namin, Patrick said.
Humingi rin kami ng paumanhin kung hindi na kinaya ng aming relasyon. Kung may mga nadismaya man o naskatan sa desisyong ito, naiitindihan namin ang nararamdaman ninyo. Alam namin kung gaano ninyo kamahal ang DongPat at alam din namin marami sa inyo ang naniwala at sumuporta sa amin. Sa ngayon pinipili naming putulin ang aming relasyon, hindi dahil sumuko kami, kundi dahil naniniwala kami na ito ang mas makakabuti para sa aming dalawa, he added.
Dingdong Bahan and Patrick Ramirez, known colloquially as DongPat, are two-in-one PBB Gen 11 ex-housemates based in Taguig and Maynila, respectively. They were dubbed by fans as Starfish, which Patrick called their supporters, a big thanks for their unwavering engagement with them. Dingdong was monikered as the “Charismatic Partner”, while Patrick was known as the “Go-Getter Partner”. They were both evicted from the Big Brother house on the 4th eviction night.
They appeared in a recently ended Kapamilya primetime series, What Lies Beneath, playing the roles of Tim Brocka and Tomas Justo, in honor of two gay activists during Martial Law. They were also featured in a music video sung by Vice Ganda titled Rainbow Christmas.
Patrick thanked Dingdong for his continued trust, acceptance, and love over the past few years.
