AZ Martinez, River Joseph react to 'Beg Winner' tag
On Wednesday's episode of the reality series, Boy Abunda challenged the Big Four duos to face the opinions of the outside world about them.
For AzVer, he told them: "Tila mas nababagay daw sa inyo ang titulong Beg Winner rather than Big Winner dahil sa madalas n'yong pag iyak at pagiging overly emotional."
AZ and River said they were just showing who they really are and how they really feel.
"If being emotional affects other people, that's us being us. That's our true selves," AZ said. "And if people don't accept that, then that's OK. As long as alam namin naging totoo talaga kami at nasa puso talaga namin 'yung totoo."
"If we were emotional, if we were weak, that's what we were really feeling that time. That's us being real. That's us not hiding whatever we felt. And it's OK to be emotional," River added.
River also defended AZ from comments labeling her as "manipulative" and "backstabber."
"I personally never saw AZ as someone who is manipulative. AZ always says that she's someone who thinks a lot, who contemplates on her thoughts a lot, and sa pagiging backstabber, I think that's just her trying to clarify those thoughts to other people and to express what she's feeling inside," he said.
"But eventually, she will tell that person that she's having a problem with, straight to their face and talk about what their problem is and have that conversation with them and try to fix it afterwards," he added.
AZ later defended River over allegations saying that he's talentless and only made it to showbiz because he is rich and has connections.
"Ako I believe River did all the these through hard work. He went through the process of auditioning," she said. "I don't think it's from connections or anything, it's because of his talent talaga. Sobrang talented niya dito sa loob ng bahay, napapakita niya talaga," she said.

Snooky Serna reflects on how she was unmade, remade by showbiz industry
Snooky Serna appeared in 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' and offered a candid perspective on how the entertainment industry impacted her, particularly during challenging times. On Thursday's episode, the actress was asked by Tito Boy about how she was both unmade and remade by the showbiz industry. She admitted that her downfall was largely self-inflicted, stating, 'I'll have to humble myself and be honest na hindi naman ako—well, everything happened inadvertently, as I always say, as I love saying. It was not a conscious effort to destroy me. If any, ako ang sumira sa sarili ko no'ng mga panahon na ako'y naging durog at basag at talagang hindi na malaman kung sa'n pupulutin.' However, Snooky did point to a potential failing on the industry's part. 'Kung naging medyo may konting kasalanan din ang industriya at that point, kung siguro naging instrumental sila somehow, siguro was the fact that there was one point in time na parang tiningnan ako as a commodity and not as a human being. So parang even if I was hurting inside, parang nakatalikod lang. And I was exploited,' she said. Despite the profound challenges she faced, Snooky firmly attributes her remaking to a higher power and not the industry. 'I would like to take the opportunity to give a living testimony that God, only God, made me whole again. Not anyone, not the industry, but it was all in God's good grace and still is in God's good grace that I'm being made whole again,' she said. In the same interview, Snooky admitted that she had become arrogant at the peak of her career. 'For a long time, talagang it got into my head. Delusionally, I thought that, akala ko para bang I was just fighting for my rights o isang pained artist and I was fighting the system. Pero hindi. Let's call a spade a spade. Talagang it just all got into this head lang,' she said. She credited divine intervention for helping her regain humility. 'I praise God that He put me in my place. Ang daming nangyari sa akin na hanggang ngayon, nilalagay ako ng Panginoon sa lugar ko. That anytime, anytime, He can just take it all away. The oxygen in my lungs, everything around me, it's all temporary, so I have nothing to boast about,' she said. Snooky currently stars in 'My Father's Wife' with Gabby Concepcion, Kylie Padilla, Kazel Kinouchi, Jak Roberto, and more. It airs Mondays to Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. on GMA Network. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News

Big Four duos share anonymous messages for remaining housemates
CharEs, RaWi, AzVer, and BreKa dedicated a few words for their fellow remaining housemates as the Big Night approaches. On Facebook, "Pinoy Big Brother" shared a segment hosted by the King of Talk Boy Abunda, where each of them shared a message for a housemate of their choice without revealing the name of the recipient. Here's what they said: Charlie Fleming "If I could tell you just one thing, I'm so happy that I got back in to get to know you even more. There was times that I really misunderstood this person. I really misunderstood you, but when I came in again, I really saw how you changed in that one month I was gone. I was intrigued and I was really surprised and excited to get to know you even more when it comes to the outside world." Esnyr "If I have to tell someone something, itong tao na 'to, sobrang Latina mo, sobrang ganda mo. Aside sa kagandahan mo, sobrang ganda rin ng puso mo. Noong nakilala kita, sobrang happy ko na mas nakilala kita dito sa bahay kasi you made me feel represented. Same tayo ng culture, same tayo ng pinanggalingan, at same tayo ng storya ng buhay. Never ako nahiya sa mga pinaglalaban ko dito, never ako nahiya na i-voice out 'yung mga dapat ko i-voice out kasi feel ko normal lang kasi same tayo nang pinaglalaban. Thank you for bringing me closer to God. Dahil sa'yo, si God 'yung naging center ng bahay na 'to. Sobrang laking influence mo sa amin. So, I love you and wishing you all the best in life girl." Ralph De Leon "If I could tell you just one thing, I am so happy na part ka ng Big Four. I am so happy na you finally found the will to fight again kasi alam kong mahirap noong lumabas ako ng bahay, nahirapan ka, nawala ka sa sarili mo and I'm glad na you finally found your peace, you finally found your happiness, and I'm glad na we're going to share that stage together." Will Ashley "If I could tell you just one thing, noong una akong pumasok dito sa loob ng bahay, sobrang nahirapan ako mag warm up. Sobrang hirap sa'kin makipag-connect with other housemates. It took me a month, almost a month, bago ako nakapag-open sa inyong lahat. And I'm really thankful and grateful na ipinaintindi mo sa akin kung ano 'yung mga pagkukulang ko dito sa loob ng bahay and sobrang dinadala ko 'yun hanggang ngayon at matuturing ko na isa 'yung malaking rason kung bakit nandito ako ngayon lumalaban para sa aking pangarap." AZ Martinez "If I could tell you just one thing, I hope you know na totoo 'yung pinagsamahan natin dito sa loob ng bahay and I hope those bashers, those bashing na negative comments about us, hindi ka magpapaapekto dito kasi totoo talaga 'yung nararamdaman ko for you and sobrang na-a-appreciate talaga kita as a friend and I promise, babawi na babawi ako paglabas and I'll really make it up to you, and I'll also protect you. I'll stand by your side and I'll be your best friend outside. I'll really do my best to show you that I love you." River Joseph "If I could tell you one thing, hindi naman mabaho ang paa mo. If I could tell you one thing, I just want to say thank you for pushing me, for motivating me, for reminding me why I'm here and why I'm doing this and you're the reason why I kept on going and kept pushing myself to fight every task, every challenge and to go for Big Four." Brent Manalo "If I could tell you just one thing, I'm really grateful na ikaw 'yung kasama ko doon sa tapatan because you know me best and having read those comments, kung hindi ikaw 'yung kasama ko doon, I don't think anyone would have defended me well but you. So, thank you." Mika Salamanca "If I could tell you just one thing as long as I'm inside this house, never ka magiging most undesirable duo kasi I will always choose you every day or anytime na magkakaroon ako ng chance. And don't be scared kapag lumabas na lahat ng mga bashers mo, lahat nang makikita mo sa labas, may kasama ka nang haharap doon. You're not alone. You're not going to be alone ever." The much anticipated Big Night is happening on July 5. The final four duos will receive the following prizes: 4th Big Placer: P200,000 each 3rd Big Placer: P300,000 each 2nd Big Placer: P500,000 each Big Winner Duo: P1,000,000 each "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network Monday to Saturday at 9:35 p.m. —Hermes Joy Tunac/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Snooky Serna admits she got infatuated with Gabby Concepcion
Snooky Serna admitted that she got infatuated with Gabby Concepcion in her younger years.

According to Snooky, Gabby never courted her back in the day, but she did get infatuated with him. "Na-infatuate talaga ako, Tito Boy. Sincere 'yan ah, nakakahiya sinasabi 'to pero totoo. This is not showbiz talk, pag-p-profess na ito ng pagmamahal kay Gabby," she said. "Kasi 'di ba Tito Boy 'pag bata ka you have crushes. Ang talagang super crush ko si Gabs," she added. She also said that she did not tell Gabby about her feelings because she was quite conservative then. "Pero ngayon na para bang nagkaka-edad na, para bang, 'Oh it's now or never' you know? Joke!" she shared, laughing. Snooky and Gabby starred together in various films in the '80s including "Under-age," "Miracle of Love," "Story of Three Loves," "Hello, Young Lovers," and many more. During her guesting in "Fast Talk," Snooky noted that her chemistry with Gabby today as onscreen partners is still strong, something that Gabby had also acknowledged. She added that Gabby is among the most handsome actors of their generation, and she realized this still proves true today. "Today talagang lalo kong na-p-prove totoo nga talaga 'yung beauty ni Gabby is classic and never fading 'yung beauty niya. It's forever, " she said.
