Mika Salamanca on Brent Manalo's clapback to Kira Balinger: 'I understand na we could choose better words'
On Wednesday's "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," Brent was informed that some netizens were disappointed with how he answered Kira.
When Kira told Brent that she doesn't know him yet even after his stay in PBB and asked him who he is, Brent turned the question back to her and said no one cares about Kira that's why she got evicted.
Given the opportunity to defend her duo, Mika said, "I understand na we could choose better words pero nung time po kasi na 'yon, sobrang na-bombastic po kami ng lahat ng salita ng housemates na nasa harapan namin."
"And I think 'yun din po kasi 'yung bubog ni Brent and naging vocal naman po siya about doon dito sa loob ng bahay and nagulat lang din po kami sa tanong na 'yon," Mika said.
Brent then gave his thoughts about the emotional toll of hearing comments from the public.
"I hated every second of it. As much as possible, I stay away from reading comments, even the positive ones, kasi ayokong umakyat sa ulo ko din. If tatanungin ako Kuya, kahit nasaktan ako dun sa comment, kahit constructive naman, medyo mahapdi, Kuya," he said.
"Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network Mondays to Saturdays at 9:35 p.m. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

'The Clash': Adelle Yu says she still feels like a winner
Adelle Yu is the type to keep her head held high. The singer from Cotabato City is the latest hopeful to be eliminated from 'The Clash' but she says she still feels like a winner. 'I think I would want to circle back to my core. Because I will not deny, I'm just a human being, it will affect me, make me feel sad at some point. And 'yung core na sinasabi ko, the feeling of being grateful that I've achieved that far in the competition,' Adelle told GMA News Online. Adelle also said 'The Clash' gave her so many opportunities, like walking a red carpet for the first time, promo guestings, and rubbing elbows with Filipino art icons. 'It's such a huge milestone, kaya ko nasabi na I'm already a winner in my own story. What else can I ask for?' She also hopes that after getting to her core, she would have more guestings and shows. 'I wanna get back onstage and sing and perform for the people.' For Adelle, the biggest challenges in her journey were the vocal conditioning and the pressure of the competition as she thinks 'about how to get the attention of the judges of the judges, 'yung mga tao, pano mo ma-touch 'yung hearts nila through your song.' Meanwhile, her biggest achievement was to be seen by audiences which is something 'that will live on for the rest of my life.' 'In-allow nila 'ko to be me, to be authentic to myself, to the sound that I have,' she said. Adelle is also thankful for the support of her home province. She said she's surprised at her social media presence, and that certain videos get high views. ''Yung outpouring of support, para siyang understatement for me. It's more of parang, finally, I've been heard. And finally, I'm seen,' Adelle said. 'It's been years and lagi akong nagta-try,' she added. 'I think that's why nabansagan din ako ng 'The Unstoppable Diva' because no matter the circumstance, I've been through a lot, and I mean a lot. But every time I hold the microphone and I perform onstage in front of hundreds of thousands of people, naiiba eh, parang nadadala ako sa other dimension.' Should she have won, Adelle said she would visit her grandparents' resting places as they never saw her on 'The Clash,' have a concert, and release an album. In a previous interview, Adelle told GMA News Online that she chose the song 'Angels Brought Me Here" by Guy Sebastian to describe her journey because she did not expect to compete in 'The Clash 2025.' As much as she had wanted to join before, she said she was not in the right mindset and had other priorities like her family and work. 'Parang hindi siya ina-allow ng pagkakataon until today. So I feel like it's destined to happen in this time.' 'The Clash' airs at 7:15 p.m. on Sundays on GMA Network. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
