Tension turned into resolution in the latest episode of ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ as housemates AC Bonifacio and Bianca De Vera confronted their shared past involving AC’s current boyfriend, Harvey Bautista.
The emotional scene unfolded after Bianca entered Kuya’s house as the newest celebrity housemate. Her presence initially stirred discomfort for AC, who had previously heard that Bianca referred to Harvey as her “TOTGA” (The One That Got Away) and claimed that AC had issues with her.
In a candid conversation by the pool, AC bravely initiated a talk with Bianca to clear the air.
“She said that you said when we were at rehearsals one time, you randomly brought up, ‘AC has a problem with me,’ because I was in front of you,” AC told Bianca, referring to a mutual friend who relayed the information. “And the last thing I heard about you is that you went up to one of our friends and said that.”
Bianca confirmed she did mention that she sensed tension between them but clarified she was never angry. “It’s true that I said that I felt you had a problem with me, but I wasn’t mad at all. It’s just what I felt,” she admitted. “Let’s face it, when we see each other outside, we don’t really talk. There was always some awkwardness — that’s normal.”
She also addressed the claim about Harvey being her TOTGA, saying it was true but had no malicious intent. “When you and Harvey got together, I was honestly happy for him. He’s a great guy. At that time, I wasn’t in a good place, so I couldn’t reciprocate. I never said that to hurt you or take him back.”
The emotional conversation ended with mutual understanding and reconciliation, with both women embracing and exchanging kind words.
“We’re going to become family in this house. I don’t want to live with people I can’t love. I’ve never gotten the chance to know you fully, and I want to start with a clean slate,” AC told Bianca.

Despite the heartfelt exchange, AC later opened up in the confession room about her struggles in staying honest and transparent inside the house.
“I overthink everything, especially when I try to be honest. I feel like everything I say is taken the wrong way,” AC confessed to Big Brother.
Big Brother reassured her, reminding her to stay true to herself and trust the people who genuinely matter. “Focus on those you love and trust — their opinions are the ones that truly matter,” he said.
Following the confession, AC was comforted by fellow housemate Ashley Ortega, who encouraged her to let go of the stress. “It’s okay — at least you were honest and talked to the right person. Now it’s out of the way,” Ashley said, giving AC a hug.
‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ airs weeknights at 10 p.m. and weekends at 6:15 p.m. on GMA Network, Kapamilya Channel, iWantTFC, and other platforms.
