AZ Martinez, River Joseph react to 'Beg Winner' tag
AZ Martinez and River Joseph gave their reaction to the "Beg Winner" tag given to them by some "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition" viewers. 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.

Mika Salamanca on Brent Manalo's clapback to Kira Balinger: 'I understand na we could choose better words'
Mika Salamanca defended her duo, Brent Manalo, after being questioned about his clapback to Kira Balinger in the recent Big Tapatan with the duo challengers. On Wednesday's "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," Brent was informed that some netizens were disappointed with how he answered Kira. When Kira told Brent that she doesn't know him yet even after his stay in PBB and asked him who he is, Brent turned the question back to her and said no one cares about Kira that's why she got evicted. Given the opportunity to defend her duo, Mika said, "I understand na we could choose better words pero nung time po kasi na 'yon, sobrang na-bombastic po kami ng lahat ng salita ng housemates na nasa harapan namin." "And I think 'yun din po kasi 'yung bubog ni Brent and naging vocal naman po siya about doon dito sa loob ng bahay and nagulat lang din po kami sa tanong na 'yon," Mika said. Brent then gave his thoughts about the emotional toll of hearing comments from the public. "I hated every second of it. As much as possible, I stay away from reading comments, even the positive ones, kasi ayokong umakyat sa ulo ko din. If tatanungin ako Kuya, kahit nasaktan ako dun sa comment, kahit constructive naman, medyo mahapdi, Kuya," he said.

Ralph De Leon on Will Ashley's on faded closeness with Bianca De Vera: It was all about respect, boundaries
Ralph De Leon defended Will Ashley after being questioned about his faded closeness and shift in friendship with Bianca De Vera during the "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." Wednesday's episode showed the continuation of Boy Abunda's visit inside the house and Ralph and Will's turn for the "Defend Your Duo" segment. The question for Will, which was answered by Ralph, was: "Will, what happened sa sinabi mo kay Bianca after noong Boys Night Out n'yo na mas mag-e-effort ka na bumawi at maibalik ang malapit na pagkakaibigan n'yo noon? Bakit natapos ang edisyon na hindi nanumbalik ang closeness n'yo?" Ralph responded with composure, emphasizing Will's decision to prioritize respect and personal boundaries. "For Will, Tito Boy and to everyone watching, it was all about respect. It was all about boundaries because they set the boundaries within their relationship for Bianca and Dustin [Yu]," Ralph said. Per Ralph, Bianca and Dustin weren't comfortable sharing things with Will or building a relationship with Will because of what they have. "Both of them were friends with Will outside. Both of them had certain relationships with Will outside. But here in this house, they wanted to build something for themselves, and Will chose to respect that. Will chose to give them that space. And Will really just respected whatever they had," Ralph said. Will echoed his duo's sentiments, affirming that Ralph had spoken exactly what he would have said himself. "Alam na po talaga ng mga housemates, especially si Ralph, kung ano po 'yung mga totoong nangyayari talaga. Kaya 'yung mga sinabi po ni Ralph kanina, 'yun po talaga 'yung exact na mga words na gusto ko pong sabihin kung ako man po 'yung mag-e-explain para sa sarili ko po," he said.
