AZ Martinez on RAWR, friends at 'end of the table': 'I wouldn't be here without them'

For AZ Martinez, her "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" journey is unfathomable without the core friends she made inside Bahay ni Kuya. On "Unang Hirit" on Wednesday, AZ and her final duo River Joseph were asked about their "what if" in the show. AZ answered, "What if wala 'yung core group ko? I don't think I'll make it. I don't think I'll be able to make it without 'yung people sa end of the table, 'yung RAWR... and of course, 'yung AzVer." The people at the "end of the table" refer to the housemates that AZ sat with routinely during meals at the dining table: River, Ralph De Leon, Kira Balinger, Josh Ford, Michael Sager, and Emilio Daez, among others. RAWR meanwhile refer to Ralph, AZ, Will Ashley, and River. The four formed a close bond during their stay in Bahay ni Kuya, and it blossomed further during the later parts of the show. AZ's core friends also include the "book club," which comprises of Kira, Josh, AC Bonifacio, and Charlie Fleming. "What if wala sila?" AZ said. "I know I wouldn't be here without them." "Sila 'yung strength ko, isa sila sa reason kung bakit din ako lumabalan and they're my family na talaga," she added. River meanwhile recalled that he had been up for eviction in the first round of nominations, and wondered what his life would have been like had he been sent packing so early. AZ and River (AzVer) became final duos after a series of challenging tasks. AZ eventually picked River as her final duo, and River happily accepted. They were named as the fourth big placers during the Big Night held on July 5 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City. Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca (Breka) were named the Big Winner. Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley (RaWi) placed second, while Charlie Fleming and Esnyr placed third. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
