One notable moment came from Miss Barangay Morera, who said, “Basketball player ka ba? Kaya pala nangangamoy babaero ka! Hi Ricci, ako pala si Andrea pero hindi ‘yung dati mong sinisinta!” This playful jab highlighted Ricci’s continued association with his ex-girlfriend, actress Andrea Brillantes.
Another muse added to the fun with her remark: “Ricci, grabe ka pala talaga mag-basketball, bukod sa galing mong mambola, ang lupit mo pang tumira.”

Ricci was joined at the event by fellow basketball players Patrick Sleat and Brix Ramos. However, due to his higher profile, Ricci became the primary target of the muses’ teasing.
Though Ricci managed to laugh off the comments, his expression suggested a slight annoyance at the repeated references to his past relationship.
As the videos continue to trend, many are curious about how Andrea Brillantes will respond to the playful remarks directed at her ex-boyfriend.
