Justin jumped on the trend with his own creative spin—filming his version along a scenic coastal road. After a dramatic walk, he comically collapsed onto the pavement, flawlessly lip-syncing to Mika's now-iconic audio, much to the delight of fans. "Real acting," he wrote in the caption. Aside from Justin, stars who have joined the "Sino Nga Ba Siya" trend were Mika's fellow "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" housemates Will Ashley, Charlie Fleming, Klarisse de Guzman, Brent Manalo, and Esnyr. Even Mika herself joined in on the fun—sharing a fresh take on the viral video that started it all.

Ralph De Leon denies AZ Martinez confessed to him; addresses 'pa-fall' comments
Ralph De Leon has set things straight: AZ Martinez never admitted to having romantic feelings for him. Ralph and his final duo Will Ashley guested in a recent episode of "Your Honor," where hosts Chariz Solomon and Buboy Villar playfully asked them about their so-called "pogi problems." "Nasabihan ka na ba ng, 'Pogi 'to. 'Wag 'yan. Pa-fall 'yan?'" Buboy asked Ralph. The Kapamilya star responded with a simple "yup" before opening up about the bond he formed with AZ during their time on "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." "Siyempre sa loob, close close din talaga kami ni AZ. 'Yung totoo, genuine talaga 'yung pinagsamahan namin doon," Ralph explained. The Dutiful Judo-Son of Cavite then clarified that there was no romantic stuff going between them and denied claims that AZ ever confessed any feelings for him. "And multiple times parang siyempre nilulubog ko talaga 'yung mga sinasabi ng mga tao na may parang anything romantic going on between us, na may sinabi si AZ na ganito, ganyan. Pero wala naman talaga eh, wala naman siya sinabi. 'Yun nga, sobrang todo support lang talaga," he shared. Ralph also addressed the "pa-fall" accusations saying that he and AZ are just really close. "Pero 'yung nga, 'yung mga sa accusations na pa-fall, kasi sobrang close talaga namin, inaakala ng mga tao na sobrang mixed signals ko. Na, alam mo 'yun, na parang close talaga kami. Na mini-misinterpret, or siyempre, tine-take in a different light na mga tao yung mga ginagawa ko," he said. "And every time, kahit before man yan ako na-evict, or after, nung bumalik ako, minimake sure ko talaga na klaro yung kung anumang mayroon kami ni AZ, na friendship talaga yun," Ralph added. AZ and Ralph were among the fan ships that blossomed from "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." They started out as the RAZ duo, and their growing closeness quickly led to nonstop teasing from housemates and fans alike. Even though both of them later denied having any romantic feelings for each other, their actions—especially when a little tipsy—made it hard for fans not to hope the ship might still sail. Some of their most talked-about moments were when they got drunk on separate occasions and ended up looking for each other. And of course, their reunion after Ralph's eviction—and his dramatic wildcard comeback—had everyone glued to their screens after a week-long wait. Fans couldn't get enough. Following their exit from PBB, the two captured their first-ever selfie together outside the house, sparking kilig vibes among their beloved fans. They also made fans kilig with their first-ever TikTok entry together, hopping to the "Lasik" song trend. When asked about their current status, AZ and Ralph said that they are "very good friends" for now. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

In the latest episode of "Your Honor" hosted by Chariz Solomon and Buboy Villar, the Nation's Son was asked if he had a crush on the Kapamilya star, considering the bond they formed. "Pero nagka-crush ka ba talaga kay Bianca [De Vera]?" Chariz asked. Will, who was caught off guard by the question, stood up and hit the court gavel, deflecting his answer. "Bakit? Crush lang naman. Itong mga batang 'to. Crush lang, paghanga," Chariz said. Will then explained his relationship with Bianca saying that they are "good friends." "Parang noong nagkaroon kami ng show ni Bianca, talagang nagkaroon kami ng relationship Good, good, good friends. Legit good friends talaga," he explained. According to the Sparkle star, he and Bianca support each other and have become each other's confidante. "We support each other lahat nandun. Sama sa ganito, problema, sabihan ng ganyan.

I mean, sa pagiging ano niya. Yung pagiging masipag niya sa work lahat. Dedication and very passionate talaga," he said of Bianca. While inside Bahay ni Kuya, the pair confessed to having unresolved tension from their "Unbreak My Heart" days. They became viral after hugging on stage during the "PBB" Big Night. Since coming out of the house, their first TikTok together has fetched over 16 million views.
