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.
