After surviving five eviction votes and becoming a Head of Household once, Salvacion would advance to the final phase of the competition after being voted to be part of the Celebrity Top 2, temporarily exiting the competition as other groups of housemates entered to compete in the house.

Personal life

During her stint in Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10, Salvacion revealed her longing for long-lost father and the questions she has been wanting to ask her mother. Production would later step in and have Melisa, Salvacion's mother, personally address her questions.

Reception

Supporters

Salvacion has a vocal group of supporters known as Sunshines, as well as mutual supporters who mainly support either Eian Rances and Brent Manalo.

Criticism

Her critics mainly come from supporters of the KDLex love team, mainly due to her attitude towards KD Estrada inside the Big Brother house, who Alexa Ilacad helped after Salvacion told him that "there will never be a chance" in an earlier confrontation. Since Salvacion initially left the Big Brother house in early January, she and Estrada have not been on speaking terms. Salvacion has also been accused of benefitting from management favoritism, such as "Unli-Voting" in Pinoy Big Brother allegedly being used to save her from eviction , and being called a "singing champion" on an ASAP Natin 'To advertisement despite not winning a singing competition.
