“Sparkle” talent AZ Martinez had an emotional breakthrough on a recent episode of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, as she finally let go of her former boyfriend, Larkin Castor.

The touching moment came after AZ received a heartfelt letter and a necklace from Larkin, which was hand-delivered by celebrity house guest Donny Pangilinan.

In a tearful confession to Big Brother, AZ admitted she struggled to write her own letter in response. “Honestly Kuya, nung inuumpisahan ko ’yung letter, sobrang sobrang hirap talaga ako na ’di ko alam anong sasabihin, ‘di ko alam saan uumpisahan,” she said. “Kasi with that letter parang I have to make a decision already. Because may necklace, may mga sinabi siya sa letter niya, and parang it’s time to make it clear.”

AZ reflected on Larkin’s message, where he revealed he had not given up on their relationship. But she admitted she needed to make a firm choice, saying, “Sabi niya doon he hasn’t given up. And sobrang selfish ko if pagpapatuloy ko pa rin na gano’n, tapos ako masaya lang dito, selfish na ako nun. I knew I had to say my decision.”

Holding back tears, AZ expressed that letting go was the most loving thing she could do. “Gusto ko po sabihin sa kanya is, pinapalaya ko na po siya. Kung gusto niya pa rin maghintay Kuya, that’s his choice na. Pero ayoko na po siya kontrolin, ayoko na siya pilitin, ayoko na siya habulin or guluhin pa Kuya. Kasi alam ko mas masasaktan, mas masisira lang siya if I leave him hanging.”

The episode quickly drew emotional reactions online, with fans commending AZ for her maturity, honesty, and courage to choose healing—for both herself and Larkin.

Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition is the latest season of the long-running reality show where celebrity housemates are brought together to live under one roof, cut off from the outside world and monitored 24/7. What sets this edition apart is its unique twist—pairing public figures from different fields such as entertainment, sports, and social media with influencers or personalities they might not typically interact with, both from ABS-CBN and GMA.

In related news, Klarisse de Guzman got a special gift from her girlfriend, Trina, while inside the Pinoy Big Brother house. Donny Pangilinan, the newest house guest, brought the gifts from the housemates’ loved ones. Trina’s gift to Klarisse was a cozy sweatshirt, which made the housemates cheer and feel “kilig” for the couple. The moment went viral online, with netizens sharing the PBB livestream clips and expressing their own “kilig” for Klarisse and Trina.

Earlier, Xyriel Manabat also got emotional on PBB due to a letter he received from her father. She explained: “Inopen up ko sa kaniya na gustong-gusto ko siyang bigyan ng chance para maging tatay. Last year, I found peace. Hindi ko alam pero nagising na lang ako na gusto kong patawarin 'yong parents ko."
