Pinoy Big Brother Double Up’s Princess Manzon is not afraid of being unpopular!

Princess Manzon shocked her housemates and viewers when she decided to make a voluntary exit from Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. The 22-year-old Sassy Vamp from Cebu was given an automatic eviction nomination after making a major violation by talking about the nomination process outside the confession room. Out of frustration, Princess chose to quit the reality competition. ABS-CBN.com spoke with the ex-housemate who she shed light on the real reason behind her decision. “I found it hard that I have to change myself para lang makipagkaibigan. In real life hindi naman ganun e. In the outside world you can choose your friends, you can be with the people who can accept you for who you are. You have the choice to stay and get involved or not. Sa PBB kung ano lang ang ibigay ni Kuya ‘yun lang. It so happened na hindi na ako masaya so I chose to leave na lang habang maaga pa.”



Although saved from the first eviction, Princess said she was no longer enthusiastic about finishing the competition. She expressed her gratitude to those who voted for her, but she would rather not waste the efforts of these people. “Kung mag-spend pa sila uli ng text for me pero hindi na ako sure kung gusto ko pa mag-stay, ‘wag na lang siguro. Pero I’m still happy na may naririnig akong natutuwa pa rin sa akin, mga hindi ko kakilala.”

The balikbayan from Japan experienced the difficulty of being unpopular inside the house because of her being outspoken and strong-willed. Princess told ABS-CBN.com that it was her life experiences that shaped her personality. “Growing up I always had to prove myself, I came from a broken family. Then I went to Japan, e karamihan pa sa atin iba ang iniisip kapag pumunta ka sa Japan, so I have to prove that they’re wrong. I didn’t finish pa my school so I have to give extra effort sa work to prove na kaya ko. What I learned in life is you really have to learn to take care of yourself because at the end of the day it’s just going to be you. Pwedeng mawala ang friends, ang family hindi laging nandiyan, so ikaw lang ang magtatanggol sa sarili mo. Dito lang sa Pilipinas ako napa-trouble because of my personality. Sa Japan naman at sa US walang ganyan.”

Princess further explained her side on being misunderstood by the girls in House B when she stayed there for a day. She said she was actually concerned about the condition of the housemates on the other side. “Nagalit sila nung tinanong ko kung nakakain pa ba sila kasi lagi silang talo. The truth was I was concerned for them. I want to know how they were doing. Siguro hindi lang maganda ‘yung pagkakasabi ko, Bisaya kasi ako kaya iba ‘yung intonation ko. Nayabangan sila. Talo na kasi sila, they’re very emotional kaya nung makarinig sila ng ganun siguro napikon sila. Pero hindi naman masama ang intention ko.” She added that for her part she tried to understand the mistakes of the people in House B. “Hindi ko na nga sinabi na ipinarinig sa amin ni Kuya ‘yung mga sinabi nila, like bakit kami naniwala sa kasal ng lalaki at bading, ‘yung task nga nina Rica (Paras) at Rob (Stumvoll). Na-hurt ako nung marinig ko ‘yun because close ako kay Rica. But we can’t please everyone. They will only hurt themselves kapag may bitterness silang dala.”

Princess also talked about the argument she had with housemate Delio Dimaculangan when they were rehearsing their Tak Fan Mo Dance weekly task. Princess said that she found it hard to deal with Delio who barely listens to what others have to say. “Ang hirap kasi kay Delio minsan nagwo-walk out siya sa usapan or ayaw niyang makinig. Ina-isolate pa niya ‘yung sarili niya minsan. ‘Yung iba naman hindi sinasabi kung ano ‘yung mali kay Delio so nagpapatuloy. Ako lang ‘yung vocal about kung ano ‘yung hindi ko gusto kay Delio so lumalabas ako ‘yung nakakaaway niya. Pero mas kilala ko ang sarili ko and I know I’m going to be okay. Hindi ko naman alam ang buong kwento ni Delio but I hope maging okay siya.”

In conclusion, Princess recalled one of the lessons she values the most in her life. “You can never please everyone. You need to stay true to yourself. You don’t have to change yourself for other people. People will love you for who you are for as long as wala kang sinasaktan.”
