Because Christmas is basically gift-giving season and a time to feel our family's love, Kuya combined both for the housemates’ 9th weekly task, aptly named “Paskong Hatid Regalo," where each duo must work together in pedaling a stationary bike to reach a set distance.
The housemate whose name shows up on the plasma screen will have the opportunity to open their gift for that day. The distance they need to reach is based on the actual distance from Bahay Ni Kuya to the place where their loved one, who prepared the gift, is located.
The December 24 episode of "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" showed the tearjerker reunion between housemate Krystal Mejes and her mom, Mommy Lorie, as they exchanged the tightest hugs and the sweetest "I miss yous." Mommy Lorie reminded Krystal that no matter what battles she faces in life, she will always be on her daughter’s side. She also told Krystal to keep the fire in her alive, to keep fighting, and not to worry about their family outside because they’re doing just fine.
"Darating ang araw, kikinang ka din," Mommy Lorie told her as she placed a necklace around her neck. Krystal admitted that her drive has been fading recently, but just hearing her mom’s voice, and getting to hug her, was more than enough to light that fire in her heart again.
She’s always been the go-to person when the housemates need life advice, but in this moment, Krystal was the one receiving comfort from her mom.
