As the Collab Celebrity Edition of PBB nears its much-anticipated Big Night, the tension among housemates has reached its peak.
With only two weeks remaining before the final four are determined, housemates faced one of the franchise’s most nerve-wracking challenges: the harapang nominasyon. Unlike anonymous voting, this face-to-face nomination forces contestants to publicly state their reasons, often sparking emotional reactions.
Among those navigating this intense process is Klarisse de Guzman, who has officially paired with Kapuso housemate Shuvee Etrata as “ShuKla.” De Guzman recently opened up about the experience to actress Barbie Forteza, sharing how the challenge played out and how emotions ran high among housemates.
During a casual conversation with Forteza, Klarisse recounted the momentous event, saying, “Noong nakaraan nagkaroon kami ng ano—kahapon—nomination, pero harapan.” Forteza, curious about the process, asked, “Kumusta, first time ‘yun?” to which Klarisse replied simply, “Grabe.”
While the challenge was expected to be intense, Klarisse revealed that the deeper bonds among housemates softened the blow. She explained, “Hindi naman. Buti na lang nangyari ‘yun na malalim na ang pag-unawa namin.” This sentiment underscored how relationships inside the house have evolved beyond competition, allowing the nominees to understand the process without dwelling on personal hurt.
Nevertheless, Klarisse acknowledged the emotional toll, emphasizing the importance of perspective. “Kailangan mo lang lawakan ang pag-unawa mo. Once kasi masyado mong dibdibin, mag-iiba ang pakikitungo mo sa kanila,” she stated. This practical approach reflects her growing maturity in handling house dynamics as she inches closer to the finale.
The harapang nominasyon is a defining challenge in any edition of Kuya’s house, but its inclusion in this season has created waves of discussion among netizens. With real personalities and strategies coming to light, the remaining housemates are now more exposed than ever before. Klarisse noted the necessity of processing emotions without lingering on negativity, saying, “Syempre nandoon pa din ‘yung sakit, pero saglit lang naman ‘yun. I-acknowledge mo na nasaktan ka pero hindi ka dapat mag-stay doon.”
With the finish line in sight, housemates must strike a balance between strategy and camaraderie. As Klarisse navigates these crucial final moments, her ability to maintain composure amid the pressures of the game is sure to play a vital role in her journey toward the Big Night.
