AZ Martinez overwhelmed by support she got from the outside world: 'Unexpected talaga'

GMA Network16-07-2025
It was another dream come true for AZ Martinez as she appeared on 'It's Showtime' alongside her final duo partner, River Joseph, on Wednesday.
During their guest appearance on the noontime show, the 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition' Big Four finalist shared that it had always been her dream to step onto the 'It's Showtime' stage.
The Sparkle star expressed how overwhelmed she was by the outpouring of support from the outside world, which came as a complete surprise to her.
'Kasi diba sa bahay [ni Kuya], sa garden may naririnig kang mga tao. Wala akong naririnig na sumisigaw ng AZ. So sabi ko, oh my god wala sigurong nagmamahal sa akin. Pero paglabas ko, ang daming LED signs, banners, mukha ko," AZ said.
"Haya sobrang overwhelmed ako. Unexpected talaga,' she added.
During the Big Night at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City, several lamp posts in Araneta City were adorned with tributes to AZ, her duo partner River, and her fan ship with Ralph De Leon. An LED truck, billboard, and even a bus showing support for AZ and Ralph were also spotted around the area.
AZ and River (AZVer) ended their PBB stint as the fourth big placer duo, with the pair of Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca (BreKa) being named as big winner duo. —Jade Veronique Yap/JCB, GMA Integrated News
