PBB: Calix, Primo apologize to each other after discussing housemate concerns

Calix Esguerra and Primo Alterado cleared the air between them after the former expressed that he was feeling left out among the male housemates in "Pinoy Big Brother: Collab Edition 3.0."

On Tuesday's episode of the reality series, Jeo Ong told Calix to tell Primo directly about his concerns so the issue would not fester.

When Primo approached them on the couch, Jeo gave the two boys the space to talk to each other. Calix was initially reluctant to open up, but he eventually told Primo that he does not feel like he belongs.

"I feel that sometimes that you only choose who to mingle with," Calix told Primo in Filipino. "I hope that how you treat some people, you do the same to everyone equally."

"It should not be like you putting others first, or having priorities," he added.

Primo, for his part, said he understands where Calix is coming from but expressed his own concern.

"Why did you not tell me right away and it had to reach other people?" he said. "There were many times that I was alone. Why did you not approach me?"

"If all the housemates know except me, what would happen if you talk to me? I'll look like a fool," he added. "For me, you did not have the balls for that."

Calix admitted that he wanted to talk to Primo but he was afraid. Primo then asked if Calix thinks he is big-headed, but he said no.

Primo encouraged Calix to just go along with everyone when they are mingling and hoped Calix would no longer take his issues to others instead of directly addressing the person involved.

Calix acknowledged he was wrong to do so and Primo also apologized for making Calix feel he was left out.

Primo also spoke to his friend Nathan Garcia, who expressed his own concern that Primo had not been talking to him like he would outside. The two patched things up and capped it with their own hand-shake.

"PBB: Collab 3.0" premiered on Saturday. Sixteen housemates, composed of celebrity personalities, social media stars, and ordinary netizens, entered the new PBB house.

The reality series airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 9:35 p.m., Saturdays at 6:15 p.m., and Sundays at 4:45 p.m. —MGP, GMA News
