AZ Martinez and River Joseph win task, to donate P100K to cancer treatment charity in honor of their dads
AZ Martinez and her duo River Joseph emerged as the winners of the Charity Task in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," which will allow them to donate P100,000 to their chosen charity: the Cancer Treatment and Support Foundation Inc. As seen in the episode on Friday night, AZ and River won the task after building the highest tower using balls, ball stackers, and a panungkit. Back in the confession room, AZ and River expressed their joy in winning the task and the opportunity to help other people. AZ and River also dedicated their victory to their dads, who they lost to liver cirrhosis and cancer, respectively. "I'm just happy na we were able to do it, I'm just happy that we are a blessing to others, Kuya," said AZ. River, for his part, shared that this is his first time winning a task in "PBB." "I'm happy na it wasn't for me but for something greater. Ito talaga, Kuya, it's an honor for both our dads. I think they were with us and I think they helped us in this task kasi alam nila na andami naming [matutulungan] dahil dito," he said. River then turned emotional when he was asked by Kuya what his dad would feel if he were alive. "I think he'll be proud, Kuya. My dad, sobrang generous niyang tao and lagi kong sinasabi I want to follow in his footsteps. I want to be just like him, siya ang hero ko," he said. "If he were alive today, I'm sure he'd be happy, I'm sure he'd be proud na andami naming matutulungan dahil dito," he added. AZ also said that winning the task is a huge tribute to her dad. According to the Kapuso housemate, her dad would always help other people even when they were at their lowest financially, emotionally, and mentally. "He made sure to help other people and to be a blessing, and that's what I learned not only from my dad but also from my mom. If you're blessed, be a blessing to others. If you're at your lowest, still be a blessing to others," she said. "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network weeknights at 10:05 p.m. and Saturdays at 6:15 p.m. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Alden Richards says he's doing better after struggles in 2024: 'I'm above my demons right now'
Alden Richards is now doing better after facing struggles in 2024, which he previously called his "lowest year" where he hit rock bottom. In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Friday, the Asia's Multimedia Star reported that he is now "above" his demons after the difficulties he had in the past year. "I have never been better. Right now, after recovering from that, actually in our daily lives hindi mo naman talaga sasabihin na naka-recover ka eh. I mean, in situations like that hindi mo masabing, 'Ay okay na 'ko.' Hindi siya ganun," he shared. "Sabi nga ni Ancient One sa 'Doctor Strange' film, you never really lose your demons, you just learn to live above them, and I'm above my demons right now. I know how to manage them." Alden has been preoccupying himself with various activities, such as cycling, running, and working out. According to the actor, he would force himself to do these activities even when he did not feel like getting up from bed. "During my lowest, pinipilit ko siya, even with the days na ayokong bumangon. Pinipilit ko siya until such time na hinahanap na siya ng katawan ko. Right now, I'm more present. I'm more present for myself, so I can be present for other people," he said. The Sparkle star is set to mark his directorial debut in the upcoming film, "Out of Order," which will premiere in the competition section of the Da Nang Film Festival in Vietnam from June 29 to July 5. "Umiyak ako niyan in secret when we got the news. They were very glad to know na ito 'yung very first directorial job ko, so it's a newbie director and they're a fan of that. Gustong-gusto nila 'yung new blood, and hopefully sana kahit papaano manalo tayo ng award," he added. Alden will fly to the United States this weekend in preparation for a Hollywood film. He will also serve as the host of the upcoming reality dance competition "Stars on the Floor," while Marian Rivera, Pokwang, and SB19 choreographer Jay Roncesvalles will serve as the judges. "Stars on the Floor" will premiere on GMA Network on June 28. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
