Pero ito ay pamilya na bahagi ka na. Tinatanggap ko ang paghingi mo ng pagpapatawad,&quot; Kuya said.</p><p>After Menchavez, Laurente went to confession room to talk to Big Brother and opened up about his previous stand on the franchise issue of ABS-CBN. </p><p>&quot;Marami po nagsasabi sa akin &#x27;di ba noong panahon (na &#x27;yon) is halos sumang-ayon ka o sumama ka sa mga nagpapasasara, bakit ngayon nag-audition ka sa Big Brother? Sinabi ko po talaga nang harap-harapan sa kanila Kuya na &#x27;yung mga panahon na iyon is hindi ko pa na-realize or nalaman &#x27;yung totoong sitwasyon. Kumbaga hindi ko pa nalagay &#x27;yung sarili ko sa sitwasyon ng mga taong &#x27;yon,&quot; Laurente said.</p><p>Big Brother then shared his advice to Laurente.</p><p>&quot;Nakakabitaw tayo ng salita, nanghuhusga tayo base sa mga hindi kumpletong impormasyon. Madali tayong maimpluwensiyahan o madali sa opinyon ng iba, kaya naman hindi naging tama ito. Alam ko na ang iba&#x27;t ibang tao ay may kanya-kanyang opinyon. Pero ang magnais ng kapahamakan sa iba, ito ay hindi katanggap-tanggap,&quot; Big Brother said.</p><p>Russu then apologized to Big Brother and to all Kapamilyas.</p><p>&quot;Alam ko po Kuya na nasaktan po kayo na minsan po isa rin ako sa mga sumang-ayon sa pagpapasara ng iyong tahanan. Nung mga panahong hindi ko pa alam &#x27;yung mga nangyayari, &#x27;yung mga totoong nangyayari po sa likod ng mga nakikita ko po, Kuya. I&#x27;m sorry po Kuya kung nasaktan ko po kayo at &#x27;yung pamilya po ng ABS-CBN,&quot; Laurente said.</p><p>Big Brother eventually accepted Laurente&#x27;s apology.</p><p>&quot;Tulad nga nang sinabi ko Russu at palagi kong sinasabi, hindi dapat nagiging basehan ang ating nakaraan para manghusga ng pagkatao at sa pag-ako ng pagkakamali natin, iwan na natin ang mga pagkakamaling ito. Nawa&#x27;y lahat tayo may matingnan na bagong kinabukasan sa bagong tao na ito. At Russu, sa pagbatikos mo, sa pagsuporta sa pag-shutdown ng tahanang ito, tinatanggap ko ang pagpapakumbaba mo. Kahit ganon &#x27;yung nangyari, naging bahagi ka na rin ng pamilya ito,&quot; Big Brother said. </p><p>On Sunday night, Laurente was the second housemate to leave the Big Brother house after receiving only 4.39 percent of combined Kumu and text votes.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">I’m sorry Russu you have just been evicted from the Big Brother House <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PBB2ndEviction?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PBB2ndEviction</a></p>— Pinoy Big Brother (@PBBabscbn) <a href="https://twitter.com/PBBabscbn/status/1345727091728293890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 3, 2021</a></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>His eviction means the other nominees, Aizyl Tandugon and Menchavez, will stay for at least one more week inside the house.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="" PBB="" Russu="" ends="" journey="" as="">&#x27;PBB Connect&#x27;: Russu ends journey as housemate</a></li></ul><p>“PBB” puts together strangers from different backgrounds inside one house for a specific number of days, sparking both conflicts and connections that unfold on television.</p><p>“Connect” is the 15th edition of the local franchise since 2005.</p><p>“PBB” airs new episodes nightly, and can be accessed via free and digital TV (A2Z Channel 11), cable (Kapamilya Channel), live streaming (Kapamilya Online Live, Kumu), and on-demand streaming (iWant TFC).</p><div><strong>Related video:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xXMKEH5E8Ok?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
