During a recent task on ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’, housemates were asked to recall the most hurtful online comments they’ve received.
Etrata revealed being labeled as the “Starlet ng Kamuning,” a term that she admitted left her deeply affected.
“Masakit din na sinasabihan ka nila nang ganoon pero ginagawa mo ‘yung best mo,” she said in the confession room, referring to the judgment she receives despite her efforts.
She further expressed her gratitude to her home network, adding, “GMA believed in me and that is enough for me to show to everybody what I’m capable of.”
Beyond online criticism, Etrata also shared a more personal struggle that resonated with many viewers. When asked why she lacked self-confidence, she pointed to emotional wounds from her family.
“Sa parents ko… na hinihintay nila ako mag-fail, magkamali, para masabi na tama sila, mali ako,” she said, revealing the pressure she feels from those closest to her.
Despite the backlash, Etrata’s candid personality continues to spark conversations online. Some viewers have praised her for being unfiltered and straightforward, while others have criticized her for referencing outside events—a practice generally discouraged inside the PBB house.
Her presence in the house follows the recent eviction of Charlie Fleming and Kira Balinger, alongside the entry of fellow newcomer Xyriel Manabat.
As her journey unfolds on ‘PBB Celebrity Collab Edition’, Etrata is emerging as a standout figure—not for seeking attention, but for her bravery in simply being herself.
‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ airs weeknights at 10:00 p.m. and weekends at 6:15 p.m. on GMA Network.
