AZ Martinez says their PBB batch always hangs out: 'Binibigyan namin ng oras'

The bonds formed by the housemates of the first "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" are still standing strong and steady.

In an interview with PBB host Melai Cantiveros, AZ Martinez said that she's always bonding with her fellow housemates.

"Kahit busy kami, lagi kaming magkasama," the Sparkle star said. "Binibigyan namin ng oras."

"Kahit gabi na, pagkatapos ng trabaho, nagbibigy kami ng oras. O kung biglang rest day namin, sa susunod na araw, o kung cancelled ang work, magkakayayaan kami. 'Tara! Anong gagawin natin?'"

She shared that their first hangout in the outside world was dinner together.

Melai applauded their batch's camaraderie, and how, despite all the issues that sprung up during their season, "hindi nasira ang pagmamahalan."

The PBB Collab 1 housemates have a number of projects together. "The Secrets of Hotel 88," another collab by GMA and ABS-CBN, is in the works, starring AZ and fellow Sparkle artists Mika Salamanca, Will Ashley, Dustin Yu, and Josh Ford. Kapamilya stars Brent Manalo, Ralph De Leon, Esnyr, River Joseph, Bianca De Vera, Klarisse De Guzman, Xyrille Manabat, and Kira Balinger are also part of the project.

In October, AZ, Josh, Xyriel, Kira, and Vince Maristela went on a nature adventure together.

"Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" concluded in July with Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo declared as the first Big Winner Duo.

The second edition recently aired with 20 Gen Z housemates. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
