Brenda Mage, a former “Pinoy Big Brother” celebrity housemate, disputed that he returned to his province since he no longer had any showbiz interests. Mage stated in a Facebook video that this is not correct since he merely returned to his birthplace to fulfill a promise to his family.

“Actually hindi talaga ako nag-quit ng showbiz. Pumunta ako dito kasi nagpapa-renovate ako ng bahay. Quit na din kasi wala naman na ako [sa Manila] pero anytime, pwede naman [ako bumalik]. Ang alam nila meron dapat akong March 25 to April 8 na locked-in taping with KDLex pero siyempre nauna ko nang ipaayos to dito so hindi ako pwede,” he explained, pointing to fellow “PBB” housemates KD Estrada and Alexa Ilacad’s project.

Mage even stated that he has had approaches from other networks.

“May mga offer din sa ibang station. Hindi naman ako nagmamalaki na tinanggihan ko pero maraming nagsasabi na wala daw akong project after ng ‘PBB.’ Kung alam niyo lang.”

Mage said his last farewell to Hollywood on Sunday, opting to return to his home province.

“After 15 years of staying here since 2007 I was only 17 yo starting to pursue my dreams to become a celebrity,” he said. “Makakauwi na ko ng probinsya maybe not for good pero matatagalan talaga.”

Saying he was already able to save enough money, Mage added: “Time to focus for my family and future… Goodbye showbiz muna, medyo natupad na rin lahat ng pangarap ko sa showbiz Industry.”

Mage also listed his accomplishments in entertainment, including doing a teleserye, a movie, starring in “Maalaala Mo Kaya,” appearing on “ASAP” and “It’s Showtime,” and entering “PBB,” among others. Mage stated the one item he couldn’t cross off his bucket list was seeing Kris Aquino in person.
