David Licauco, 'Pinoy Big Brother' housemates prank Dustin Yu

David Licauco sure knows how to play a trick, as seen on the latest episode of “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.”

The Pambansang Ginoo, who is close friends with one of the housemates, Dustin Yu, was tasked by Kuya to set up a prank.

David shared his plan: “Kunwari na lalabas na siya tas papasok ako. Tapos permanently na siyang lalabas kunwari po.”

As Dustin was called to the Confession Room, David met the other housemates and told them about his prank.

He then hid behind the couch, while River Joseph and Dustin’s duo Xyriel Manabat took charge of the prank, while the other housemates acted sad.

In tears, Xyriel told Dustin, “If hindi nagawa ‘yung task, may housemate na papalitan. So magiiba ako ng duo, ganun.”

Dustin understood and said, “Ako [‘yung papalitan]? Okay lang.”

“Bat kayo nalulungkot? Okay lang, guys,” Dustin added, addressing everyone.

After a while, he also turned emotional and the housemates hugged him.

As they shared a group hug, David got up from behind the couch and everybody laughed. Dustin was also shocked and ran to David to hug him.

“Lala!” Dustin kept telling the housemates.

In the Confession Room, Dustin said, “’Di ko alam ano mafe-feel ko. Maiinis ba ‘ko sa kanila o matutuwa ako kasi nakita ko ‘yung kaibigan ko.”

The actor added, “Natutuwa ako kasi siya talaga ‘yung pinaka close ko na kaibigan sa labas.”

Kuya then announced that David is the newest house guest.

Previous house guests include Donny Pangilinan, BINI's Jhoanna and Stacey, Michelle Dee, Gabbi Garcia, Ivana Alawi, Mavy Legaspi, and Kim Ji Soo. Sanya Lopez, Kim Chiu, and Paulo Avelino also visited the house.
