Former ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ housemates Ralph De Leon and Shuvee Etrata sent fans into a frenzy on Saturday, August 9, with a surprise duet of TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan’s hit love song ‘Palagi’ during Acer Day 2025 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
In a video posted by Sparkle on Instagram, the two—popularly known to fans as “RalphVee” or “ShuRalph”—were all smiles on stage as the crowd cheered them on. Both serve as Acer brand ambassadors and were joined at the event by their fellow “Pamilya De Guzman” members Klarisse de Guzman, Mika Salamanca, Esnyr, Will Ashley, Brent Manalo, and Charlie Fleming, who also performed alongside P-pop group SB19.
Ralph opened the performance by singing Monterde’s part before turning to the crowd and teasing, “Parang may kulang! Gusto n’yo bang may ka-duet ako?”
He then called Shuvee to the stage with the nickname he coined for her, saying, “Shuveedoo, let’s do it.” Shuvee followed with Tandingan’s heartfelt verses, earning loud cheers from the audience.
The pair first captured the hearts of ‘PBB’ fans with their genuine friendship inside the house, often likened to the “academic rivals” trope for their intelligent and competitive personalities. Their chemistry was further highlighted when they topped the first Big Intensity Challenge as the highest-ranking Kapuso and Kapamilya housemates, later being voted the “Most Desirable Duo” of their season.
