Article (news)

<p>This season’s &quot;<em>teleserye ng pagpapakatotoo</em>&quot;<em> </em>is nearing its end, but definitely with a bang.</p><p>The competition is tough and social media is ablaze with fiery comments as the road to the <em><strong>Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab </strong></em>Big Night—featuring the Big 4 Duos <strong>AZVer</strong> (AZ Martinez and River Joseph), <strong>BreKa</strong> (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca), <strong>CharEs</strong> (Charlie Fleming and Esnyr Ranollo), and <strong>RaWi</strong> (Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley)—gets closer. </p><p>Followers of the reality show can collectively share that there’s just something extra special and heartwarming about this season—a magic that can only be found in the famed house.</p><p>The historic first collaboration between <strong>GMA </strong>and <strong>ABS-CBN</strong> for the beloved reality show franchise resulted in high viewership, massive social media engagement, active brand sponsorships, multiple fandoms, viral moments, and with high probability of catapulting the 20 celebrity housemates to a higher level of stardom in the industry.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIsfDTnP3db/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A242253.19999999925%2C%22ls%22%3A241899.5%2C%22le%22%3A242197.69999999925%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Despite the intensity of the <em>PBB</em> housemates’ <strong>Kapamilya</strong> and <strong>Kapuso</strong> fans in cheering on and rooting for their favorite Big 4 Duos, what truly stands out is how each winning pair displays their unique kind of strength, traits, and charm that transcend the screens.</p><p>Kuya’s Big 4 Duos AZVer, BreKa, CharEs, and Rawi all continue to inspire several conversations across media platforms and even offline as each duo faces several challenges to prove they’re worthy of being declared as The Big Winner (Duo). </p><p>Still, the fierce competition among the housemates doesn’t take away the fact that they all have huge chances to win this season, and all the duos are truly deserving of their spot. The Big 4 Duos have won the hearts of followers and fans alike big time because of their inspiring journey inside <em>Kuya</em>’s house.</p><p><strong>Metro.Style </strong>shares some reasons why the Big 4 Duos are beloved by countless viewers, fandoms and casual viewers, and what makes their PBB journey colorful, interesting, and inspiring.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLmqn5wBRc7/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A326059.3999999985%2C%22ls%22%3A241899.5%2C%22le%22%3A242197.69999999925%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>AZVer (AZ Martinez and River Joseph)</strong></div><p>The visuals of this duo are exploding with beauty, featuring the mesmerizing and gorgeous faces of <em>Kapuso</em> actress-beauty queen <strong>AZ Martinez</strong>, the “Miss Sunuring Daughter ng Cebu,“ and <em>Kapamilya</em> actor<strong> River Joseph</strong>, the “Sporty Business Bro ng Muntinlupa.“</p><p>AZ and River were both once deemed by fellow housemates as the least desirable partner for a duo, but the two were able to turn things around and proved that rejection is a redirection for them to do something great together as AZVer. </p><p>In a legendary second Big Jump challenge that earned them a spot for the Big 4, AZVer endured six hours of standing under the sun and even the rain while keeping the blocks forming the letters BIGFOUR still and aligned. To keep the blocks from dropping and for their duo to endure the challenge, AZ prayed and mumbled, “Lord, let this be for us,” while River calmly encouraged his partner, telling her, “Imagine our dads (in heaven) pushing us also, helping us.” The challenge earned AZVer admiration from viewers for their faith, perseverance, and determination to win.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLj6ORhvHZn/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A446952.7999999989%2C%22ls%22%3A241899.5%2C%22le%22%3A242197.69999999925%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>BreKa (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca)</strong></div><p>For a duo that claims to be platonic, the chemistry between <em>Kapamilya</em> actor <strong>Brent Manalo</strong>, the ”Gentle-linong Heartthrob ng Tarlac,” and <em>Kapuso</em> actress-content creator <strong></strong><strong>Mika Salamanca</strong>, the ”Controversial Ca-Babe-Len ng Pampanga,” is teasingly evident and amazing. </p><p>Compared to the other duos, the two exude a much calmer and mature support for each other, despite occasional bouts of frustration when challenges are hard. When they win tasks, the pair sincerely celebrates each other’s strengths. A testament to the BreKa duo’s strength is winning their hard-earned spot as the final duo to make it to the Big 4. BreKa also shares the same trait of being selfless, with both wanting to sacrifice and give their spot to earlier evicted housemates <strong></strong>ShuKla<strong></strong> (Shuvee and Klarisse De Guzman) instead. </p><p>During their Q&amp;A segment with Boy Abunda, Mika cemented how solid BreKa is with her ending statement to Brent: “As long as I am inside this house, never <em>kang magiging</em> most undesirable duo <em>kasi</em> I will always choose you every day or anytime <em>na magkakaroon ako ng</em> chance.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLj6T-ZPs6y/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A567561.1999999993%2C%22ls%22%3A241899.5%2C%22le%22%3A242197.69999999925%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>CharEs (Charlie Fleming and Esnyr Ranollo)</strong></div><p>CharEs may be the youngest Big 4 Duo, but they’re a force to reckon with. The tandem of the youngest <em>PBB: Celebrity Collab</em> housemate and <em>Kapuso</em> actress <strong>Charlie Fleming</strong>, the ”Bubbly Bread Teener ng CDO,” and <em>Kapamilya</em> star and content creator <strong>Esnyr Ranollo</strong>, the ”Sensational Viral Bestie ng Davao del Sur,” is not to be underestimated. </p><p>After becoming the two remaining housemates left to form the Final Duo, the duo instantly connected, especially since both are young breadwinners. Impressive in their wit, humor, maturity, and youthful energy, CharEs aced the faceoff with the House Challengers. Charlie and Esnyr were able to handle tough questions from the former housemates with grace and clarity of answers without losing their composure. </p><p>This resulted in CharEs earning the most votes from the housemates, leading them to a landslide win to secure the very first Big 4 spot. With the recent Big 4 Q&amp;A with the legendary Boy Abunda, CharEs remarkably answered questions anew. Apart from slaying tasks together, CharEs is also a great duo that raises the energy in the room with their sense of fun and camaraderie that endear them to their fellow housemates and viewers. When the Big 4 Duos were asked by Boy Abunda which duo should be the Big Winner if it can’t be them, all of them overwhelmingly picked CharEs.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLj6ZWpPRBG/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A714576.2999999989%2C%22ls%22%3A241899.5%2C%22le%22%3A242197.69999999925%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RaWi (Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley)</strong></div><p>Known as a strong and competitive duo, RaWi was born out of the close friendship between <em>Kapamilya</em> actor <strong>Ralph De Leon</strong>, the ”Duti-ful Judo-Son ng Cavite,” and <em>Kapuso</em> actor<strong> Will Ashley</strong>, ”Mama’s Dreambae ng Cavite,” as early as Week 3 of <em>PBB: Celebrity Collab</em>. Both knew that making each other as the Final Duo was a great fit for them. </p><p>The strategy and solid performances RaWi shows for each task and challenge give off a sense of stability, which makes the duo quite a strong contender. RaWi is also individually strong, with Ralph voted by the public with a Wildcard vote and was given the second chance to re-enter the house after being evicted. Will, on the other hand, won the hearts of the viewers as he transformed from an introverted housemate who gradually opened up to others. Together, RaWi is a duo that embodies friendship, teamwork, humility, and excellence that deserves to clinch the <em>PBB: Celebrity Collab </em>Big Winner title.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLj6fW4P0YZ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A896106.8999999985%2C%22ls%22%3A241899.5%2C%22le%22%3A242197.69999999925%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>As we’re heading to the <em>PBB: Celebrity Collab </em>Big Night, it feels like the show viewers are assigned with a task by no less than <em>Kuya</em>,<em></em> and it’s all about casting our votes for the rightful Big Winner of this extraordinary season.
