Benedix Ramos and Madam Inutz could not help but tear up as they watched short updates about their respective families outside the “Pinoy Big Brother” house.

On Wednesday, Ramos successfully finished the electric maze challenge to get the chance to hear words from his ailing grandfather and see his improvement.

“Natuwa ako kasi naa-appreciate din nila 'yung mga ginagawa ko dito sa loob ng bahay,” Ramos told Big Brother.

According to the Kumu streamer, it comforted him to know that his grandfather is fighting and getting better.

Social media darling Madam Inutz, likewise, cried when she saw her mother, who also has health problems, through a short video message.

In the said clip, her mother, Griselda Cabantog, was seen raising his feet and arms to show that she is making improvement on her recovery.

“Sobrang saya kasi nagkakaroon siya ng improvement kasi almost 6 years na siyang ganun,” Madam Inutz quipped.

Other housemates also got the chance to receive updates about their loved ones after completing the task given by Kuya.
