I still like Marco, Kisses of 'PBB' admits

After insisting that she has moved on from being heartbroken by Marco Gallo, Kisses Delavin made an admission on Wednesday's "Tonight with Boy Abunda."

Asked about whether she still has feelings for her fellow "Pinoy Big Brother" teen housemate during the talk show's "Fast Talk" segment, she said yes.

She wasn't able to elaborate further.

After Gallo was evicted from the reality show last year, Delavin had been open about her feelings for the Filipino-Italian. It even prompted the show to reunite the two so that Delavin can properly tell Gallo about her crush.

"Na-feel bad ako nung nalaman ko iyon," an apologetic Gallo told Delavin back then. "You were right in front of me at wala akong nasabi. Hindi ko napansin for two months. I feel so selfish."

"Ngayon na lumabas ako, na-realize ko kung gaano ako ka-tanga," continued Gallo, adding that he deeply values the friendship he formed with Delavin.

Delavin was named the runner-up of this season's "Pinoy Big Brother" last Sunday, losing out to Maymay Entrata.

WATCH: Jinri Park asked about indecent proposals

MANILA - Korean model and former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate Jinri Park answered various questions in an exclusive online interview with Boy Abunda.

And one of the questions in the "Tonight with Boy Abunda" online interview published on Monday is about indecent proposals.

Park laughed when she was asked if she had "encountered an offer from a rich, old man."

"Honestly, I've never [had indecent proposals]. I'm like, is that a bad thing or a good thing? I don't know," she joked.

Park was evicted from the "PBB" house over the weekend after receiving the least number of votes among the nominated housemates.


A former FHM cover girl and gravure model, Park said she joined "PBB" to prove to her bashers that she is more than just "sexy."

A self-confessed introvert, her stint in the show was marred with criticism from her fellow housemates for being distant. She was named as the first grand finalist of this season.

'PBB': Kisses confesses her feelings for Marco

MANILA -- "Be happy for their happiness."

This was the goal of "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate Kisses Delavin, after having a heart-to-heart talk with Big Brother on Monday night.

The 17-year-old aspiring beauty queen was summoned to the confession room, where she burst into tears after a failed attempt to confront her fellow housemates Marco Gallo and Vivoree Esclito.

Inside the confession room, Big Brother asked Delavin to reveal what has been bothering her.

"Ayoko po talaga na nasasaktan ako, pero kasi kahit kalimutan ko nasasaktan pa rin ako. So I just wanna forget it kasi ayoko na nakakasakit ng tao," Delavin said.

(I don't like th efeeling of being hurt, But even if I try to forget it, I can still feel the pain. I want to forget because I don want to hurt others.)

According to her, she used to share a certain intimacy with Gallo, who has always been caring and thoughtful to her. This, however, ended when Gallo admitted his feelings for Esclito.

"Kasi si Marco po naging close talaga ako sa kanya. Nagustuhan ko talaga 'yong personality niya. Gustong gusto ko na maalaga siya, mabuti talaga siyang tao, lahat ng gusto ko sa isang tao nandoon kay Marco. And sobra-sobrang pinakita niya sa akin na pag-care, hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari. Tapos, bigla na siyang tumigil," she said.

(I became close to Marco. I like his personality. I like how caring he was. He's a good person. I can see all the characters I want in a person in Marco. I don't know what happened. He just stopped [caring].)

Delavin's statement led Big Brother to ask: "So, sinasabi mo bang may nararamdaman ka para kay Marco?"

(You mean to say, you have romantic feelings for Marco?)

Although she was hesitant at first, Delavin finally opened up about what she really feels about Gallo.

"Nagustuhan ko po talaga siya, Kuya (I really liked him)," she quipped.

"Pero 'yon, Kuya, nasasaktan lang ako kasi hindi ko alam kung anong nagagawa kong mali kasi lagi nalang akong iniiwan sa ere ng mga tao. Hindi nila tina-try na mas kilalanin. Tinitignan lang nila 'yong hitsura ko, kung ano lang 'yong mababaw. Pagod na pagod na ako, ayoko na kuya. Ang hirap-hirap na lagi kang hindi pinipili."

(I am hurting. I don't know what I keep doing wrong, but I always get deserted in the end. They don't try to know me better. I'm tired, Big Brother. It feels bad that you don't get chosen.)

Despite that, Delavin expressed her willingness to move on and forget about her feelings for the sake of their friendship.

"May mga bagay na kailangan mong i-accept and move on. Marami pong mga bagay na mas magandang pagtuunan ng pansin," she said.

(There are things that you need to accept in order to move on.)

But, of course, moving on is a difficult process especially if you see the person everyday. As soon as she left the confession room, Delavin ran inside the girls' bedroom and wept.

"Hindi ko alam kung bakit ayaw niya sa akin," she told another housemate, Maymay Entrata.

(I don't know why he does not like me.)

Why Marco, Christian fought inside 'PBB' house

MANILA - It all started with what seemed like a harmless prank.

After previously being at odds with housemate Rita Gabiola, 15-year-old Christian Morones had another argument with a fellow housemate, this time over a simple gag.

While working on their second task, the male housemates noticed that Morones, who was supposed to be working with them, was sleeping. Gallo then decided to pour some water on Moriones to wake him up.

What he thought would be a joke turned out to be more complicated after Morones stopped talking to his housemates. In an attempt to appease him, Gallo apologized, but Moriones continued giving him the cold shoulder.

"Ang mga problema, dapat pag-usapan, hindi shut up lang. At 'pag nag-uusap ako, gusto ko sa mata, at klaro," Gallo told Morones.

"Ang tanong ko, sinong nagsimula?" Morones said, adding, "O tingnan mo, tapos ikaw pa 'tong may ganang magalit sa akin?"

"Bakit mo ako tinitingnan ng ganyan? 'Di ba nagsorry na ako?" Gallo said before he walked out.

Edward Barber, who is the oldest among the male housemates, went over to Gallo and advised him to just let it go.

"You have to be the bigger man, because Christian, yeah, he's acting like a baby. That's true. You have to let it go," he said.

An emotional Gallo explained that he wanted to talk to Morones about their rift because he did not want it to get worse.

"Everything has to be done, right now, in this day. Because you cannot be a family if you do not talk about the problems. I don't want to repeat that... started from my dad. Because me and my family, we don't talk about the problems," he said.

After a few minutes, Gallo calmed down. Talking to Kuya, the runner of the show, Gallo explained that he just wanted to apologize to Morones.

Kuya, on the other hand, advised Moriones to wait for things to cool down before talking to Gallo.

This is the second time that Morones got into an argument with a housemate. In an episode aired August 13, Gabiola broke down after Moriones stopped talking to his housemates.

At that time, Morones, who admitted to anger management issues, decided not to speak with the other housemates after their task.

WATCH: Tommy introduces Miho to family in US

MANILA - Things seem to be going really well for celebrity couple Tommy Esguerra and Miho Nishida. On Saturday, the 21-year-old Esguerra introduced the "Pinoy Big Brother 737" grand winner to some members of his family in California.

In a video uploaded by writer Darla Sauler on her YouTube account, Nishida, who has been Esguerra's girlfriend formally for nearly a month, can be seen exchanging greetings with the model's uncle and siblings.

This is not the first time that Nishida met members of Esguerra's family, however. Back when they were still inside the "PBB" house, Nishida got a chance to chat with Esguerra's mother and foster father.



Esguerra, who was born and raised in California, went to the Philippines and joined "PBB" to prove to his family that he can achieve his dreams. Nishida, on the other hand, is a single mother who had to make a living in Japan for her daughter, Aimi.

The two first met inside the "PBB" house. Their pairing, dubbed "ToMiho," has since spawned a following. In a previous interview, Esguerra said that he is ready to be father to Nishida's daughter.

"Miho, maski sandali pa lang tayong magkasama, pakiramdam ko habambuhay na kitang kilala. Ikaw ang nagpapaganda ng araw ko. Dahil sa iyo, nababaliw ako....Napakahalaga mo sa akin at hindi kita pababayaan Miho," he said.

Kenzo-Bailey relationship inside 'PBB' house explained

MANILA - "It's more about brotherly love, a deep friendship between two males."

With those words, the resident psychologist of this season's "Pinoy Big Brother" tried to explain the relationship between housemates Kenzo Gutierrez and Bailey May Thomas which had netizens abuzz.

Kenzo and Bailey recently made waves online after screen shots of the two holding hands and hugging had many speculating that there could be something more than friendship between them.

"Yung mga housemates they get lonely and they want to get the affection from each other para masuportahan nila ang isa't isa. So that's one reason why they become touchy and emotional," said Dr. Randy Dellosa.





He added that being the only son of their respective families may have played a part. Dellosa said that both Kenzo and Bailey share a longing for a brother.

Dellosa also noted that the negative reaction the two have been receiving for their "bromance" might have been brought about by Filipinos not being exposed to shifting changes in "gender expectations."

"This is one way to educate na nagbabago ang gender expectations at gender roles sa culture natin ngayon. Kung dati eh ang lalaki dapat tough, rough at emotionless, ngayon we have to be in touch with both our male and female sides," he said.


Asked about the possible role of having an openly gay housemate with them inside the "PBB" house to how the boys interact with each other, Dellosa said that the other housemates are just trying "to make Ryan comfortable."

What was the high point of 2014 for Alex Gonzaga?

MANILA – With several TV shows, a book and a hit film under her belt, Alex Gonzaga has much to be thankful for this 2014.

Speaking on “The Buzz” on Sunday, Gonzaga said this past year has been an eventful one for her, noting that she did not expect to be this blessed when she returned to ABS-CBN.

“May mga pinag-pray po ako kay Lord. Pero kung ano man 'yung mga dumating, hindi naman po talaga' yun 'yung mga winish ko. [Sobra pa 'yung dumating],” she said.

Gonzaga said she always does her best in every project given to her.

“Kapag may binigay sa akin na trabaho, laging sinasabi sa amin ni daddy na gawin lang 'yung best. Lagi rin sinasabi sa akin ni ate (Toni Gonzaga) na ‘You’re only good as your last performance so kapag lumalabas ka, dapat binibigay mo yung best mo para maipakita mo na deserving ka sa ibinigay sa ‘yo,’” she said.

Asked what was the highlight of her 2014, Gonzaga said: “Nung pumasok po ako sa ‘PBB.’ Lagi kasi nila akong bine-baby sa family. Bawal akong mag-decide, laging 'yung kung ano lang ang sasabihin nila. Nung pumasok ako sa ‘PBB’, parang 'yung maturity ko biglang nag-kick in.”

Despite all the blessings, Gonzaga believes the best is yet to come.

“For me, 2014 is very unforgettable and memorable kasi ang dami kong natutunan sa career, buhay, religion. But the best is yet to come,” she said.
