As weeks passed, and with the influence of her fellow housemates, Fyang began to change and improve.</p><p>“Hanggang sa may housemates na nakapansin sa ugali ko at sila nagparealize na hindi lahat maiintindihan kung anong ugali ang mayroon ako.  Ang laki ng pinagbago ko.

In one episode, while she and her fellow finalists asked each other questions, Fyang addressed concerns about her being &quot;disrespectful and stubborn.&quot;</p><p>She admitted that she was once stubborn during her initial weeks inside the house. However, she started to become more cautious and aware of her actions.</p><p>“Siguro noong una first, second, third, week, matigas ulo ko. Siguro may kaunting katigasan pa rin ng ulo ko pero ngayon medyo nabawasan na... Sometimes nalilimutan ko na nasa PBB pala ako. Hindi ko rin naman sinasadya na magkamali.”</p><p>She emphasized that she still respects all her fellow housemates in her own way.</p><p>“Sa tingin ko the way na sinasabi ng iba na disrespectful ako, is hindi lang kayo sanay na ganun ako magsalita. Iba iba tayo ng kinalakihan. It’s just me. Hindi siya disrespectful talaga. May respect ako sa kanila (other housemates),” she expressed.</p><div><iframe width="928" height="522" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RL75hu6l_FI" title="Day 93 | Fyang, na-hotseat dahil sa pagiging " PBB="" Gen="" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Fyang also addressed accusations of being &quot;too clingy and close&quot; to her male housemates.

She also mentioned her desire to meet <em>Pamilya Sagrado </em>actor Kyle Echarri, who is her celebrity crush.</p><p>“I want to hang out in Kuya’s living area.
