MANILA -- Neil Arce surprised his son, "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" housemate Joaquin, as he guested in the show for PBB Bistro's soft opening.
In the confession room, Arce, the husband of Angel Locsin, talked about his happiness being the father to Joaquin.
"Sobrang bait po na bata niyan; hindi kami binigyan ng problema. Laging maganda 'yung grades sa school. Na-bless ako ni Lord ng isang mabuting anak. ... Sa akin din po, nahirapan ako mag-connect. Maraming times na, kahit pilitin kong mag-connect sa kanya, medyo mahirap. Parang may distansya talaga; parang may wall," Arce told Big Brother or Kuya.
"Pero for the past 2–3 years, bigla na lang sabi ni Lord, magko-connect kayo. So, for the past 2–3 years, halos five times a week kaming magkasama. Hindi ko in-expect na ganun pala 'yung pakiramdam na ‘yun. Na-feel ko 'yung tunay na connection. At na-feel ko 'yung pagiging tunay na ama," he added.
Asked by Big Brother of his dream for his son, Arce replied: "Gusto ko na matuto siyang maging kontento at happy kung ano ang mayroon siya."
Arce and Jem Jornales, the mother of housemate Heath, were invited by Big Brother as special guests for the restaurant challenge given to the PBB housemates as their 14th weekly task.
Arce and Jornales were the first customers of PBB Bistro, which opened last Wednesday, January 28, and will run until Friday, January 30.
Chef Jorge Mendez, the father of housemate Caprice Cayetano, was also invited by Kuya to help the housemates in their task.
"PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0" is available on iWant, Kapamilya Online Live, and other Kapamilya platforms.
