When Bianca Gonzales steps out of the "Pinoy Big Brother" house tonight, she will certainly be in a dilemma. Bianca was among the Big Four finalists of the "PBB Celebrity Edition," with Keanna Reeves, John Prats and Zanjoe Marudo. The big winner will be known tonight in a live show to be aired from the Liwasang Bonifacio starting 9 p.m. on ABS-CBN.
People who are close to Bianca know that even before she joined the "PBB Celebrity Edition," she has a relationship with TV/stage director Lino Cayetano, younger brother of Sen. Pia Cayetano.
However, while Bianca was inside the "PBB" house, she became vocal about her feelings for fellow housemate Zanjoe. They were being romantically linked and inevitably, they obviously developed a special bond. Bianca confessed she had a crush on Zanjoe since two years ago, when she saw his face in a magazine print ad. Even at that time, she had wanted to meet him. To her surprise, Zanjoe was one of the celebrity housemates in "Pinoy Big Brother."
"PBB" has been showing kilig footage of Bianca and Zanjoe hugging, talking till the wee hours, being playful with each other and doing so many things together, including brushing their teeth.
We learned that Direk Lino became really jealous of the footage that he chose to leave the country temporarily. We wonder how Bianca will handle the affairs of her heart once she’s out of the "PBB" house.
New image for Keanna
Before Keanna Reeves joined "PBB Celebrity Edition," she was known as a bold star and an escort service girl who even faced a Senate inquiry when she was asked about her prominent clients. Although Keanna refused to give out names, she became infamous and controversial. There were those who looked down upon her and she got all the flak for the nature of her job.
However, by being inside the "PBB" house for two months, Keanna has shown her human side, something that gained her a number of followers and sympathizers. It was a big transformation of her image. The public learned that she is a real person and a loving mother who only wants the best for her two children.
That’s why we won’t be a bit surprised if she becomes tonight’s big winner of the "PBB Celebrity Edition."
Press statement from Rustom
In our last column, we wrote that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) was hot on Rustom Padilla’s trail, after a demand letter was issued by a couple from California, who was trying to track down Rustom for unpaid loans. The letter was said to have been coursed through the NBI after desperate attempts of the couple to get in touch with Rustom, to no avail.
Rustom, who was among the 14 housemates in the "Pinoy Big Brother" Celebrity Edition, did a voluntary exit from the "PBB" house last week. He said he has accomplished his mission by being inside the "PBB" house that’s why he is giving up the chance to become a grand winner.
As most every one knows by now, Rustom made a confession about his real sexuality while he was inside the "PBB" house.
Below is the press statement from Rustom’s camp, issued by his lawyer, Edgar Allan C. Morante, from Cayton, Peñalosa and Manzano law offices.
"In behalf of our client, Rustom Padilla, we would like to clear an issue presently circulating amongst the press, which threatens to put him in a bad light.
"This concerns the alleged claim of Mr. Julius A. Espina of California, USA, over a Mercedes Benz which was used by Mr. Padilla during his stay in the States in 2005.
"At the outset, we would like to stress that Mr. Padilla, through this law firm, sent through e-mail a draft of a Memorandum of Agreement concerning the said car to Mr. Espina on Sept. 8 and 21, 2005. But after the latter intimated that he would consult his own lawyer, we no longer heard from him
"It was only recently, when Mr. Padilla was still part of the ABS-CBN show, ‘Pinoy Big Brother,’ that Mr. Espina sent a personal letter, which was received by Mr. Padilla’s representative. It was unfortunate that Mr. Padilla was not able to personally attend to such letter because of the constraints imposed by the rules of the TV show. But the letter was not ignored, this law firm sent a letter to Mr. Espina, and assured him that Mr. Padilla will attend to the issue as soon as he leaves the TV show.
"Mr. Padilla maintains that he paid for the use of the said car through a business venture that he had with Mr. Espina. Without going into details, the said business venture did not end well due to some misunderstanding.
"Mr. Padilla would like to assure the public and all concerned that he has no intention of keeping the car. Mr. Padilla is willing to waive all his interest, in whatever form, in the business venture that he had with Mr. Espina, just to buy peace.
"As of this writing, all the proper cor-respondence is now being prepared to settle the issue once and for all in accordance with the law."
