Rave Victoria on giving bracelet to Ashley Sarmiento: 'Gusto ko protected siya'

When Rave Victoria returned to Bahay ni Kuya to compete for the wildcard slot after getting evicted, he was able to reunite with his close friend Ashley Sarmiento for 100 seconds.

During their brief reunion, Rave hugged Ashley, lifted her in the air, and gave her a Saint Benedict bracelet. 

In an exclusive interview with GMA News Online, the former “PBB Collab 2.0” housemate shared that he personally bought the bracelet for Ashley and had it blessed.

“Pina-bless ko ‘yun. Pina-bless kasi gusto ko protected siya. Para hanggang big night siya doon,” Rave said.

“At saka, kapag may mga problema siya, kasama niya si Lord,” he added. 

In the same interview, Rave revealed he couldn’t look directly at Ashley when he was saying goodbye because he couldn’t bear to see her in that state.

“Hindi ko nga siya matignan nung paalis na ako kasi naiyak din ako eh. Tapos kinabukasan, nakita ko 'yung post. Yung magang mata niya. Ewan ko kung matatawa ako o ano eh.  Pero siyempre, alam kong masakit 'yung iyak niya nun. Halata naman eh. Medyo naawa din ako,” Rave added.

Ashley and Rave, dubbed AshRave, are among the popular love teams inside Bahay ni Kuya this season.

In his “Fast Talk” interview, Rave admitted he will miss Ashley the most among the "PBB" housemates. 

“Si Ashley po, Tito Boy. Kasi siya po 'yung core ko sa loob ng bahay,” he simply said. 

Rave was the was the latest housemate to get evicted from Bahay ni Kuya.
