Gaby dela Merced's advice to new Housemates!

Gaby dela Merced was very happy to be reunited with her fellow Pinoy Big Brother ex-housemates at the taping of an episode of Pilipinas, Game K N B. ABS-CBN.com spoke with Gaby backstage who expressed her excitement over the upcoming PBB Double Up season set to begin this October. “Ang saya na I can feel the PBB fever again. Nakita ko ‘yung mga dati kong kasamahan. Ever since naman I have been in touch with most of them and I’m just so excited to be seeing them again.”

Gaby was already a Formula 3 race car champion when she became a part of PBB Celebrity Edition 2 in 2007. While she finished PBB in third place, she said the lessons she learned as a housemate are reward enough. As someone who has survived the voyeuristic environment of the PBB house, Gaby advised the next batch of housemates to keep it real. “Don’t expect anything because you will have no idea what is in store for you. Enjoy mo lang bawat moment. I don’t know kung possible o effective ba talaga ‘yang mga sinasabing ‘strategies’ but as someone who had lived inside the house I believe it’s best kung magpapakatotoo ka na lang. Huwag kang maging plastic kasi eventually lalabas din ‘yung tunay mong ugali.”

Gaby also advised the new batch of housemates to trust PBB’s Kuya who still has the best of intentions behind his difficult tasks. “It depends kasi on how you will see Kuya. Either you will treat him as your guiding hand or someone you will go against. Based on my experience, it’s best if you will learn to listen to him. At the end of it all kasi malalaman mo na may reason sa lahat ng ginagawa niya. Hindi mo man maintindihan sa simula pero sa huli you will get to understand din.”

Gaby revealed to ABS-CBN.com that she just came from a racing competition in the US and will be flying back for another race. “I just joined a race last month sa US, malapit lang sa Los Angeles. Three hour race ‘yun and I placed second. May teammate ako and nasa likod niya ako pero hinimatay siya so I had to take over for the remaining two hours and thirty minutes. Aalis naman ako this Sunday papuntang Vallejo, California. Six hour race naman ‘yun so lately matindi talaga ang training ko. Meron nga kaming sasalihan this December na 25-hour race. Swerte nga namin because so far we’re leading in points so malaki ang chances na mag-champion kami.”

Apart from joining racing competitions, Gaby said that she is very much open to other showbiz opportunities. She once hosted the infotainment program Gaby’s Xtraordinary Files and is now a jock of Studio 23. But when asked if she is willing to do a sexy pictorial for a men’s magazine, Gaby explained that she will only do so for as long as it will be done it good taste. “I just got an interesting offer the other day. Pero kasi hindi ko pa alam. Siguro paguusapan muna namin ng manager ko. I can go sexy but definitely not all out sexy. For me it’s important that it is still done in good taste, maganda pa rin ‘yung portrayal.”
