Ashley Ortega reveals which 'PBB' housemate she misses the most, and who she feels safest with

Ashley Ortega got candid as she she spoke about her fellow “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” housemates on “Unang Hirit” on Tuesday.

During her interview, the Sparkle star said that she misses housemate and Kapamilya singer Klarisse de Guzman the most.

“Si Ate Klang kasi ‘yung parang lagi ko lang kasama. Lagi lang ako nakabuntot sa kanya,” Ashley said.

Ashley added that Klarisse is their chef inside the Bahay ni Kuya, while Ashley assisted her in the kitchen.

“Siya talaga ‘yung mom namin dun. Tawag namin sa kanya ‘mom,’ ‘Mommy Klang,’” she said.

The Independent Tis-Ice Princess of San Juan also said that if she ever got the chance to choose her partner, it would be Klarisse.

“I think it’s easy to be a duo with her kasi parang palagi ko naman siya kasama.”

Ashley also said that she wanted to be paired with content creator Esnyr, “kasi sobrang funny niyang tao talaga.”

The actress added that River Joseph would also be an option. Ashley said the Kapamilya actor “is such a good person.”

“As in ‘yung personality niya sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya, everyone has a soft spot for him. So sa paglabas ko sa outside world, tama ‘yung kutob ko na everybody likes [River] kasi he’s very mature, he’s very thoughtful, tsaka gentleman siya.”

Ashley shared that before “PBB,” she and fellow Kapuso actor, Michael Sager, were able to hang out because of mutual friends. Inside the house, she felt comfortable with him and they formed a closer friendship.

“Sa kanya ako lagi umiiyak,” Ashley said. “I felt safe with Michael.”

Ashley and AC Bonifacio were the first evictees of “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.”

Ashley and AC’s reactions to being evicted are currently a trending meme.

During her three-week stint, Ashley made some unforgettable memories inside the PBB house, and even sparked reconciliation with her estranged mom.
