But after getting evicted from the famous PBB house last Saturday (Feb 4), she found out that her boyfriend Lance had almost gone out of the country because he could no longer bear the negative spotlight he was cast into when Wendy and Carlo’s trivial flirting had many eyebrows raising.

“I have already apologized to him. I wasn’t so careful with what I said and did because I was becoming more and more comfortable inside the house. Little did I know that Lance took all the negative criticisms about me,” explained Wendy.

While the fling generated hype for the reality show, Wendy revealed she has yet to have actual feelings for Carlo, and that her physical separation from boyfriend Lance only made their relationship stronger. In fact, she feels grateful to PBB for drawing Lance and her parents closer as both parties had been consoling each other when they worried about Wendy.

“Lance fought for me, and my parents saw that he really cared for me when he faced the consequences of my PBB stint. Before I entered the house, I was unsure if they would ever hit it off. I felt so happy when my mom and Lance both welcomed me in the outside world when I got evicted,” she said.

Known for her sincerity and frankness, Wendy is one of the most recognizable personalities in PBB’s present season. Her popularity among viewers proved to be undeniable, for even when she was repeatedly nominated week after week, she would score a high percentage of votes that saved her from eviction. She even considered the nominations a chance to prove herself to her housemates, family, and the public.

Wendy revealed, “It turned out to be an opportunity for me to step up and prove my detractors wrong. I do not regret anything; I went through all the tasks without quitting.”

Now that her stay inside the PBB house is over, the alluring ramp model dreams anew of becoming a beauty queen and be teamed up with her showbiz crush Piolo Pascual. She also intends to enter showbiz and wants to build a successful career similar to her idol’s, the versatile PBB host Toni Gonzaga whom Wendy admires for the her singing, hosting, and acting prowess.

“She can do anything. It all seems so natural to her,” Wendy quipped.

Sometimes Wendy is referred to as the housemate who was raised like a princess, but the program’s avid spectators have come to know her as a spoiled brat who is brave enough to express and stand up for what she truly feels. As she faces new challenges outside of the PBB house, she brings with her the most important lesson she learned as a housemate: patience.

“Big Brother teaches the housemates to be persistent. The old Wendy would immediately back out on the tasks, but I carried on,” she said.

Broadcast journalist Tina Monzon-Palma will address this issue as she continues to fight for the protection of abused children on Thursday (Feb 9) on “Krusada”.

Tina sympathizes with non-marital children. “It is painful for a child to learn that he or she is illegitimate. What makes it even harder for them is the judgmental gaze thrown at them by society,” she said.

Tina will discuss the rights of such children, including the scope of these rights and the ways in which they may be fought for.

To illustrate these, she will be imparting the story of two mothers who relentlessly fight for the allotment and inheritance of their non-marital children.

Witness the story of Marlene, who started her fight in 1995 for the recognition and support of her child from the father, and Othella, who is only about to start her battle for the inheritance of her seven children.

The law recognizes two types of children: the legal and the illegitimate. But regardless of whether they were born to married parents or out of wedlock, they all have rights that need to be honored by their parents.

Listen, take part and be one with Tina’s crusade for children because it takes more than words to make a stand. Watch “Krusada” on Thursday (Jan 19) after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN, or earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Channel 26), 9:15 p.m.
