It was a tense yet heartfelt moment inside the Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition house as AC Bonifacio and new housemate Bianca De Vera addressed their shared history involving AC’s current boyfriend, Harvey Bautista
Upon Bianca’s arrival, AC admitted feeling uneasy due to past stories she had heard—particularly that Bianca once referred to Harvey as her “TOTGA” (The One That Got Away) and mentioned AC might have issues with her.
Taking initiative, AC approached Bianca for a private chat by the pool. She brought up comments reportedly made by Bianca and expressed her desire to clear the air early on. Bianca responded with honesty, confirming some of AC’s concerns but clarifying there was no ill intent behind them.
Bianca acknowledged the awkwardness between them but emphasized it was normal given their past connection with Harvey. She confirmed Harvey was her TOTGA but said she was genuinely happy when he ended up with AC.
“I’m glad he found someone like you,” Bianca said. “Talking to you made me realize he’s just as lucky to have you.”
The open dialogue led to an emotional breakthrough, with the two hugging and exchanging “I love yous” before rejoining the rest of the housemates.
Later, in the confession room, AC became emotional, sharing her struggle with overthinking and the pressure of being honest. Kuya reassured her, reminding her to value the opinions of those she trusts and not let outside noise shake her.
Her housemate Ashley comforted her afterward, praising her bravery for speaking up and encouraging her to let go of self-doubt.
