Inside the PBB house, Baninay is known for her strong Batangas accent and sometimes her funny childish personality. Together with Wil Dasovich, Baninay was fake evicted on Week 36 to do the challenge for the 3rd Lucky House slot. Unfortunately, no one voted for her and had left the house after that. She was given another chance to participate in the 4th Lucky Spot Competition but failed again and got evicted on the date of her birthday, January 3, 2017.

After going back to the outside world, Baninay tried her luck in creating her own YouTube channel and started filming her own vlogs, which paved her way to become a successful online personality. Baninay’s channel earned her 100K subscribers in just two months – one of the fastest-growing channels in the Philippines. She now has over 1.4 million subscribers.

In a recent video shared by ABS-CBN’s Rated K titled “Korina meets Trending YouTubers,” Baninay shared that she was able to purchase a condominium unit, bought some lots in her hometown in Batangas, and brand new cars, all because of her trending vlogs.
