AZ Martinez admits shortcomings as Ralph De Leon apologizes, says she'll fight for River Joseph
Ralph De Leon finally mustered up the courage to speak with AZ Martinez after nominating her and her duo River Joseph during the first ever face-to-face nominations on "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."
Wednesday's episode showed Ralph apologizing to his close friend AZ about the points he and his duo Will Ashley gave.
'I just wanna say sorry, first of all, kasi I know you trusted me. 'Yung mga kwento mo, mga rants mo about what you were thinking about, what you were worrying about. I just want to apologize, that's the reason we used kanina to give you guys the points,' he said.
'I completely understand if you feel betrayed, if you feel that you can't trust me anymore,' he added.
After hearing Ralph's side, AZ said that she is OK and that she understood the reason behind their decision to nominate them.
'Totoo naman din 'yung mga sinabi mo,' she said.
Despite this, AZ said that it was painful to hear, especially that it came from the people who she trusted inside the house.
'I can't lie. It was too painful. I really thought that you were the one who really understood me as part na 'yan. And I did not expect na you will use it against me. We talked about it eh. Ang sakit,' she said.
She also acknowledged her own shortcomings, and said that she is fighting for her duo River as she was the reason why they got nominated.
'I'm fighting this for [River]. Ako 'yung reason bakit nominated siya. River doesn't deserve this,' she said.
As things settled between them, AZ and Ralph did their friendship handshake with the latter giving her a pep talk.
"Say you're not giving up this week," Ralph said.
"I won't give up this week," AZ replied. "It's OK. Don't worry about it. I'm just happy that you and [Will] are safe."
Ralph and Will gave the AZ-River duo one point during Monday's nomination night, citing AZ's emotional behavior as the reason for their decision.
Shortly after the nomination, Ralph cried to Kuya and said that he felt guilty for nominating her.
Aside from AZ-River, other duos nominated this week are DusBi (Dustin and Bianca), AzVer (AZ and River), and ShuKla (Shuvee and Klarisse).
