Kevin was the first to shed tears. The housemates were hanging out in the pool when Jolas and Kevin have a silent clash. It would have passed by unnoticed, but after ten days of living in close quarters, the teens were quite sensitive to nuances within the group, no matter how small. Jolas walked out and Kevin went to their room, where Nikki, Beauty and Jieriel see him crying. He shared that he felt he was alone, that he didn’t belong and was not meant to be part of the group. He also was not comfortable with the idea of the many cameras following his every move. As the girls comfort him, Daddy John who was watching from next door says that this side of Kevin was a revelation to him, but justifies it to Kuya as discomfort and difficulty adjusting to the environment. That this too will pass, Daddy John is confident in.
Next up is Josef. This Lethal Lasallite who is so often seen with naughty grin and full of energy surprised the housemates when he suddenly broke down in the sala floor. He was sitting on the couch when he heard his late lola’s voice call out his name, he said. Tita Anna relates that Josef was the fave of his grandma and was very hands-on in his growing up years. Being on TV, especially in PBB, was Josef’s promise to his lola, and he was sad that she couldn’t see him now that he succeeded fulfilling that. Kuya comforts him, saying that really, his lola can see him better where she is now.
Alex followed the trend and cried in the sala, then rushed to the room and began pulling his clothes out. “My mom,” he cries, saying he wanted out. The housemates were rattled, and couldn’t figure out what to do to make him stay. “Let’s be strong for Alex,” was Rona’s stand. Later, though, they find out that it was just part of a prank and that Nikki and Jolas were also in on the joke. All in the name of April Fool’s, care of Kuya, no less.
The biggest surprise of the day, though, was the entrance of Mommy Sandy, Mommy Minda and Daddy Ike into the house. Jolas leapt into his dad’s arms, Nikki cried out loud, and Mommy Minda let the other housemates surprise Alex by hiding under his comforter. The three guardians spent the day teaching the teens how to do chores. Mommy Minda caps the day with a Pungpung Galapong for each teen before they went to bed.
