Bianca, Zanjoe speak up
"Pinoy Big Brother" celebrity housemates Bianca Gonzales and Zanjoe Marudo faced the media together on Monday amid speculation about the special relationship that blossomed between them inside the PBB house.
Gonzales and Marudo, who in recent interviews insisted they know where they stand in each other's lives, said they did not mean to hurt anyone by acting the way they did when they were still housemates.
Bench model Zanjoe apologized to Bianca's boyfriend, director Lino Cayetano, saying his closeness with the morena TV host apparently upset him.
Zanjoe said he was only being himself and did not mean to offend anyone by his actions.
Bianca, for her part, said the friendship that developed between her and Zanjoe was inevitable because of the circumstances inside PBB house.
"When I entered PBB house, I did not expect that I would see someone who I've long wanted to meet and know," she said.
"It was a situation that could happen to anyone. It was a real dilemma. I could only hope people somehow learned from it," she added.
Bianca and Zanjoe have been the subject of intrigue because of their closeness, which some viewers of the 24-hour reality TV show deemed inappropriate.
During the show, Bianca and Zanjoe were romantically linked after they admitted a mutual admiration. The tall, dark and handsome model said he has a crush on Bianca while she admitted liking him the first time she saw his picture in a magazine two years ago.
Still in love with Lino
Bianca, however, clarified she remains in love with her boyfriend and she thanks him for hearing her side about the Zanjoe issue.
"I admitted to him that I was confused, that I got attracted to somebody else. It was a situation that I could not resolve even within myself because I was confused," she said.
"Everytime that I feel confused, I always get to prove that I love my boyfriend," she added.
Bianca said she intends to make up for the mess she may have caused her real relationship although she is aware that she could not please everyone.
"I hope what would matter is how I fix it. If there are people who did not like my actions, just don't follow what I've done," she said.
Bianca and Zanjoe were among the four finalists in the just concluded celebrity edition of PBB, a reality show that locked 14 housemates with different personalities in a camera-packed house for 56 days.
Escort service whistle-blower and sexy actress Keanna Reeves emerged as the PBB Big Winner. Young star John Prats placed second, while Bianca and Zanjoe finished third and fourth.
