Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) has been more than a venue for exciting activities and brave challenges over the years by giving the followers joy and laughter.
The show is [also] considered a spot that makes its viewers experience the butterflies of first love because the audience gets to see some of the housemates develop into love teams.
Like in all other seasons, many supporters have ‘shipped’ several housemates and named various love teams every season.
In the latest PBB season of Pinoy Big Brother: Connect, many have observed the special closeness that ex-housemates Haira Palaguitto and Kyron Aguilera had.
The Makatang Marikit ng Pangasinan and the Shy Biker Boy ng Butuan were ship by fans as HaiRon.
In an exclusive interview with RAWR Nation, Palaguitto shared her thoughts of having a loveteam like Aguilera.
According to her, it was inevitable to have loveteams inside the house since it’s common practice even in the earlier seasons of PBB.
The 16-year-old Palaguitto said that she and her fellow housemate Aguilera are a loveteam to the show’s fans or the public, but for them–it’s not. The two consider themselves as best of friends.
“Kasi ayun po, sa ibang tao po kasi loveteam kami, pero para sa aming dalawa, best friends po talaga kami. Ayun po ‘yung mas iniisip namin,” said Palaguitto.
She was also overwhelmed by how fans supported them and named their tandem as HaiRon, which coincidentally, the same name as his elder brother.
“Sa totoo lang po, nagulat po ako lalo na po sa name na ‘HaiRon’. Kasi ‘yung ‘HaiRon’ po, pangalan po talaga ng kuya ko ‘yun. Sobrang ang awkward po kasi akala ko, kuya ko ‘yung tinutukoy nila.
“Nakakatuwa lang po, na may mga tao po pa lang nagshi-ship po sa amin tapos kinikilig pa sila. Eh, sa amin po kasi doon sa bahay parang normal lang po kasi talaga na close po talaga kami sa isa’t isa,” she continued.
In the same interview, she shared that Aguilera helped her go out of her comfort zone and encouraged her to interact more with other housemates as they were the only people inside.
“Siya po ‘yung housemate na nagpalabas po talaga nang kung ano po ‘yung ugali ko. Kasi, parang, before po kasi nahihiya po talaga akong makipag-interact po sa mga housemates. Talagang nasa isang gilid lang po ako,” the ex-housemate said.
“Tapos siya po talaga ‘yung laging nandyan kapag malungkot ako, kapag mag-isa po ako. Palagi po siyang sumusulpot sa tabi ko, tapos kinakausap po niya ako.
“Talagang hindi po kami mapaghiwalay ‘nun before nung nasa loob pa po kami ng bahay ni Kuya.”
She believed that being around Aguilera most of the time–is one of the many reasons that made her feel other housemates disconnected from her.
“Feeling ko po may mga times po na buong araw siya(Kyron) lang po ‘yung kasama ko ‘tas nakakalimutan ko na po na may iba pa po pa lang housemates na nandoon po sa loob,” explained Palaguitto.
Being emotional and sensitive as a person is another reason that led housemates to nominate her often.
“Hindi ko po kasi talaga mapigil kapag kunwari po may mga tasks na nahihirapan kami, sobrang emosyonal ko lang po talaga. Hindi ko po talaga mapigilan,” she said.
After being nominated twice, Haira Palaguitto became the season’s fifth evictee. Aizyl Tandugon and Kyron Aguilera followed her as the sixth and seventh evictees.
Meanwhile, Palaguitto was reportedly in another loveteam ship with an aspiring housemate from Cavite, Sean Tristan, who expressed admiration for the ex-housemate. HaiSean was their team-up ship name.
