PBB Exclusive: Maricris and Wendy Speak Out!
May 09, 2007 7:40 PM

As a PBB housemate, eviction is the most difficult thing to accept; because not only are you leaving behind a chance to win the grand prize, but also a chance to stay with the people you’ve learned to love during your stay. And although they both have bright futures ahead of them, Wendy and Maricris can’t help but turn their heads and look back at their emotional experiences inside the House.

“Hanggang words lang ako, never ko po gagawin yon,” Maricris shares with the press about her fateful threat. This Italyanang Cabalen’s outburst towards fellow housemate Bea created a rift between PBB fans, and a controversy that led to a forced eviction. “Naging careful sana ako bago ko sabihin yon.” She quickly shares, however, that the in-house psychiatrist sensed nothing wrong with her, and she explains: “Na-tense lang ako; kumalma na ako paglabas.”

Her issue with Nel? “Mahal ko po siya as a close friend. Napakasarap niyang kasama, naaaliw pa siya sa akin!” She confides that her true crush inside the PBB house is Robert, and has nothing but kind words for Bodie. “Nabe-bless ako sa taong yon. Minsan pag malungkot ako, siya nagpe-pray over sa akin. She also claims she’s willing to tackle a career in showbiz.
Wendy, on the other hand, already has experience in front of the camera, being a staple in numerous commercials and print ads. But not only is she a model, but more importantly, the breadwinner of her family as well. “Gusto ko makitang kumakain ang pamilya ko. Maka-graduate lang ang dalawang kapatid ko, di ko na iniisip pinagdadaanan ko; babalik naman sa akin.”

Her relationship with Bruce is also a bittersweet experience which she hopes would continue. “I’ve never seen anyone cry like that for me… on national television pa!” She says there’s a reason for everything; “Hindi ko alam kung san papunta, but I hope for the best.” But Bruce is not the only one she remembers; she banks on either Saicy, Bruce or Nel to take the top prize. Wendy can’t say the same for Dionne, which saw as a friend before Dionne called her insensitive during their open forum.

So for Maricris and Wendy, life outside the PBB house is definitely different, for the experience is definitely well worth it. Eviction may be difficult to accept; but for what the PBB experience has done to these two housemates, maybe they left richer than before.
