Titled '1 Shot, 1 Cringe,' the YouTube vlog featured Mika and her fellow "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" Big Winner Brent Manalo playing a drinking game where they try not to cringe while watching TikTok videos and past "PBB" clips. Every time one of them cringes, they take a shot. 'Wala pa nga, nagki-cringe ka na!' Mika joked. To which Brent replied, 'Nagki-cringe na ako ngayon pa lang!' MikBrent also gamely acted out scenarios like pretending to do first aid or wiping something off each other's faces for the kilig factor. At one point, Brent told Mika, 'I like your freckles," To which she replied with, 'Fake freckles 'yan!' Later in the video, Will Ashley briefly joined the video and took a shot. Mika also showed a teaser of her next vlog with the Nation's Son. Toward the end, Mika told the viewers that the video supports a cause: 'Sixty percent po ng lahat ng revenue natin dito sa vlog na 'to is mapupunta sa mga tinutulungan natin.' Ever since Mika came ouf of the "PBB" house, she has been making donations to several charities that are close to her heart, including non-government organization Animal Kingdom Foundation and orphanage Duyan ni Maria. Earlier, Mika and Will went on a double date with Shuvee Etrata and Ralph De Leon. The 20 housemates will reunite on August 10 for "The Big ColLOVE" at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
