"May tampo siguro. May ‘yong sama ng loob... Siguro na hindi niya nasabi, sa ginawa niya. Hindi ako galit sa kanya, galit ako sa ginawa niya. But then he has a reason na tina-try kong intindihin," said Wendy Valdez about Bruce Quebral's admission that he already has a girlfriend in an interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) last week.
Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemates Wendy and Bruce developed a close relationship inside Kuya's house. The two admitted to Big Brother that they liked each other. Wendy was in a relationship with a non-showbiz boyfriend before joining PBB. The Commercial Babe explained that she and her boyfriend were not in good terms.
A few days before Wendy's eviction, Bruce confessed that he has a girlfriend outside the house. He said that he wasn't able to disclose the information because his girlfriend belongs to a different religion, Iglesia ni Cristo.
Before her eviction, Wendy got a kiss from Bruce. Bruce held her tight and kept on telling her that he loved her.
"[I feel] betrayed at the same time, kung ako 'yong girl, I'll feel betrayed also. Na puwede naman niya palang sabihin, bakit hindi pa niya sinabi kaagad? Parang ganoon, di ba? Sinabi mo na rin lang... Sana sinabi niya na lang earlier kahit mga pahapyaw lang," said Wendy.
The 2005 Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism admitted that she wasn't looking for love inside the house.
She explained, "Hindi rin naman namin ini-expect [na maging ganito kami]. Like what I've said, nalaman ko ni-nominate niya pala ako. And before, feeling ko mayabang siya and medyo hindi ko siya pinapansin dahil hindi ako masyadong ano sa mga [basketball] players. So, parang hindi namin talaga ini-expect na magkakaroon ng something.
"Before I entered the house, sinabi ko talaga sa sarili ko na hindi ako magpapa-involve kahit sino magka-crush sa akin or magka-crush ako inside the house kasi feeling ko baka naglalaro lang because this is a game. And when I told him that, sinabi niya, ‘That's exactly what I said before I entered the house!'"
Wendy admitted that she is aware that some people might think negatively of her because she herself was committed to someone outside the house.
"Siguro lahat naman ng tao or even mga housemates, may mga negative na something," she said. "Hindi ko naman ilalaban 'yon kung may mga taong nag-judge na sa akin na ganoon. I mean, people can be judgmental at times. I understand kasi kung kami nga na nandoon, nagpupunahan kami, what more sila. Napapanood nila kami. Wala namang mawawala sa kanila kung pupunahin nila kami."
Some viewers branded her "malandi" in some forums and even here in PEP.
Wendy explained, "Sa [isyung] malandi, hindi ko talaga alam kung papaano sasabihin ko diyan, pero siguro... Let's just say di namin in-expect, wala kaming sinet sa utak namin na magkakaroon ng something. Kung ano ‘yong mga nangyari sa loob, hindi rin namin in-expect na magiging ganoon, and magiging ganoon 'yong closeness namin."
She added, "Marami kaming problema ng boyfriend ko, disregard the fact na girlfriend si Bruce kasi late ko na nga nalaman, e. So kung alam ko lang, di ba? So ‘yong sa akin kasi sa boyfriend ko, even before I went inside the house, ang daming beses na namin nagbe-break... Mayroon siyang case, special case na I just don't want to mention, kasi para na rin doon sa pinagsamahan namin."
There have been rumors that Wendy's boyfriend is already married to someone else.
"I just don't wanna say anything about it kasi siyempre, minahal ko din 'yong tao. Ayoko na siyang idamay pa sa ganito. Problema ko na ito. Ako na lang. Ako na lang 'yong i-bombard ninyo," Wendy said.
She narrated, "Actually, as soon as I got out, kinausap ko siya. And then sabi ko, gusto ko makipag-usap nang personal, to talk about things and stuff. Para ma-explain ko din. But then he said na mag-usap na lang daw kami sa phone. Naiintindihan niya naman daw and ayaw niya muna kaming magkita.
"Palagay niya, ‘yong attention and care na ibinigay ni Bruce ‘yong hindi niya nabigay. Parang nagso-sorry siya and sinabi ko naman sa kanya na I gave you all the time to give that to me, hindi mo nabigay. So, naiintidihan ko rin na he's focused on some things about his life also.
"Napanood niya, parang iniisip niya na hihintayin niya pa rin ‘yong kami ‘yong mag-usap. But then as time passed by—at saka ‘yong napapanood niya talagang ano na—sinet niya na rin sa utak niya na baka nga nagkamali rin siya. And siguro noong nasa loob ako ng house, wala na siyang chance para makulit ako para magbalikan. Kasi, di ba, 'pag nasa labas ka, makikipag-break ka, kukulitin ka? Noong nasa bahay kasi ako, hindi niya na ako makukulit para ayusin 'yong sa amin. So ‘yong may lamat, sobrang daming lamat siguro nabasag na.
"Sinabi niya na rin sa akin na okay na siya, na he's trying to move on, and sinabi niya naman na nag-sorry siya, na hindi niya nabigay 'yong mga hinihiling ko before."
Wendy was asked if she thinks that the "relationship" would prosper outside the house.
"Let's just say may positive vibes akong nararamdaman," she said. "Kasi ‘yong mga nangyari sa amin, like what I've said kanina, hindi namin in-expect, and then mayroong mga signs. Parang may mga something na kinu-connect kami to each other. Like the song, like ‘yong guhit sa hands namin.
"After ko lumabas, nanood ako agad. Tapos nakaupo sila and then he said na, ‘Alam mo, 'yong eyes, window to the soul.' Sabi niya kay Nel. And then, parang sabi niya, ‘Kasi si Wendy, every time I look at her, nababasa ko kung ano 'yong sinasabi ng mata niya.' I feel the same way, pero di ko sinasabi sa kanya. So parang ang weird lang. And then at that moment, sinabi niya, ‘Siguro ‘yong mga lumalabas, binibigyan sila ng chance manood kasi ewan ko, parang instinct ko lang nanonood si Wends.' Wala lang, nakikilabutan lang ako."
Wendy—along with Kian Kazemi, Jasmin Engracia, Zeke Dimaguila—will be given the chance join the other housemates again. The two evicted housemates with the most number of votes will get to go back inside the house. The four are being kept inside one of the secret rooms of Kuya's house until the end of the voting period.
