Yayo Aguila opts to leave Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 after staying in the house for nine weeks as a celebrity housemate. The Mom in Distress had just found out that her mother, Mrs. Helen Racelis, had succumbed to a cardiac arrest. Yayo’s mom has been suffering from diabetes and a serious heart ailment prior to her demise.
The former Bagets star lamented the fact that she was unable to inform her mother two months ago about her plan to enter PBB Celebrity Edition 2. She told Big Brother that the reason why she decided to try her luck in the reality show was to provide her mother and her children a much better life. Yayo planned to use the prize money to support her family and pay for her mother’s medication.
On December 18, Yayo went out of the PBB house to go to the hospital where her mother was brought. She was accompanied by Mariel Rodriguez when she learned of the tragic news. When the other celebrity housemates learned about the demise of Mrs. Racelis, they lit white candles and offered a solemn prayer to ask God to give Yayo strength and eternal peace for the soul of her mother.
The remains of Mrs. Racelis lie in state at the Arlington Funeral Homes in Quezon City.
With Yayo’s voluntary exit, this means that the usual process for eviction is now canceled. Yayo was one of four nominees for eviction namely, Baron Geisler, Riza Santos, and Gaby dela Merced.

In this afternoon's Uber, Bianca Gonzales broke the news that Yayo's mother had passed away this afternoon. Kuya talked to Mariel in the confession room and had her relay the events that happened during her and Yayo's absence. The pretty houseguest accompanied Yayo to the hospital this noon instantly when Yayo learned of the devastating news. When Mariel and Yayo left the house a few hours ago, they were deeply hoping that they will see Yayo's mother in a better condition. Unfortunately, on their way to the hospital, Mrs. Racelis had succumbed to a cardiac arrest. Mariel shed light on Yayo's condition while dealing with the great loss. According to Mariel, Yayo was greatly affected because she never had the chance to speak to her mother before she entered Kuya's house a couple of months ago. Apparently Mrs. Racelis had already been suffering from diabetes and a serious heart ailment.
Mariel left the confession room and personally told the other housemates about the incident. Although they don't know Mrs. Racelis that well, all the housemates knew how much pain Yayo is going through, and together, they lit some white candles and offered a solemn prayer to ask God to give Yayo strength and eternal peace for the soul of her mother. Gaby, Baron, Riza, and the other housemates, who were very close to Yayo, failed to hold their emotions knowing that the housemates they all look up to as their mom in Kuya's house is actually going through a very difficult time. It was then when silence and mourning engulfed the what used to be a loud and fun-filled house.
As of the moment, the remains of Mrs. Racelis is at the Arlington Funeral Homes in Quezon City. Dealing with deep grief at the moment, Yayo has not yet decided on her fate as a celebrity housemate. Will she return to Kuya's house or will she make a voluntary exit for her mother's funeral?
Silence stretched inside Big Brother's famous home as the housemates come to terms with the grief that Yayo is going through. Each of them found their own corner to reflect on Mrs. Helen Racelis death, knowing that losing a loved one is always a difficult moment. And being the bonded family that they've become in the months that they were together, they hurt so badly for this sad news.
For an unknown reason, they were detained for a while in the boys bedroom while Mariel went in the confession room alone to receive a special task for this evening. Since then, she is yet to be seen by the housemates including Yayo who arrived just to get her things. Amidst her obvious pain, she tried to laugh and even remembered to ask the others to continue doing good deeds for Riza who happens to be her Kris Kringle baby.
In a serious note, she relayed that she's still uncertain as to how long the wake for her mom would be because they have to contact Mrs. Racelis mother and sister in California to tell them about what happened. It appeared that no one wanted to take responsibility in passing on the bad news for Yayo's grandmother also has a heart ailment. That was their dilemma when she left their house but the Mom in Distress claimed that maybe her relatives have fixed this by now. And if they decided to come over for the burial, then the wake would take longer since they have to wait for them.
In relation to her lost opportunity as a contender for the Big Win, Ethel advised her to think it over and see if she could get her slot back since her situation transcends the previous reasons of those who have made a voluntary exit. The sexy comedienne reminded her of this when Big Brother finally opened the huge doors on the garden for her to make her way out. But of course, this is not really of essence at this point in time so Yayo simply bid them goodbye with the thought that she will be seeing them soon in the outside world. "Thank you guys. I love you guys", she shouted.
Will Yayo opt to become a balik-bahay housemate and swallow her claim on disliking the concept of which because it's unfair? More importantly, will Big Brother allow her the same privilege like Gaby had when she came back from her seminar abroad? For now, all that's clear is that the remaining nominated housemates for this week is saved albeit by such a tragic affair. In effect, Yayo's voluntary exit meant that the usual process for eviction is now canceled.
