Sparkle GMA artist Larkin Castor took to social media to thank fellow Kapuso star Dustin Yu for his respectful stance amid playful teasing from their Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemates.
The housemates had been shipping Yu with Castor’s girlfriend, AZ Martinez, who has been stirring controversy with her actions inside the PBB house.
Martinez, also a Kapuso star, has been under scrutiny from netizens for behavior perceived as disregarding her relationship with Castor. Observers have noted her growing closeness with other housemates, with one notable incident where she shared a dream about a housemate who she admitted was she was having a huge crush on.
This revelation sparked backlash online, with many calling her actions inappropriate for someone in a committed relationship. Adding fuel to the fire, Martinez hinted that her boyfriend—presumably Castor—had not approved of her joining PBB, highlighting underlying tensions.
Despite this, Castor has remained steadfast in his support. In a heartfelt X post before Martinez entered the PBB house, he wrote, “AZ and I were in good terms before she left for PBB. Nag-usap kami in person ng maayos. We had our fights, but in the end, all we felt was just love, support and trust. We promised to wait for each other until she comes back out. She’s a good person and I’m always proud of her.” His words reflect a commitment to their relationship despite the challenges posed by her stint on the reality show.
Inside the PBB house, a candid conversation among the male housemates took an interesting turn when the boys teased Dustin Yu, suggesting a romantic connection between him and Martinez. The housemates pointed to Martinez’s actions, which they interpreted as indicative of a crush on Yu. However, Yu quickly shut down the speculation, revealing that he is friends with one of Martinez’s exes—though he didn’t clarify whether he meant Castor or another former partner. Emphasizing his principles, Yu stated, “Kahit na, bro code you know. Ano’ng mafi-feel niya?,” underscoring his respect for the unspoken rule of loyalty among friends.
Yu’s stance earned him high praise from Castor, who posted on social media, “Love you bro, biggest respects to you. Appreciate you.” The exchange has resonated with fans, showcasing a bond of mutual respect between the two Kapuso stars amidst the drama surrounding Martinez.
Meanwhile, Martinez continues to face growing disapproval from netizens, many of whom sympathize with Castor and commend Yu for his integrity.
