The recent edition of the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/4/5/abs-cbn-ball-2025-red-carpet-lights-up-as-kapamilya-stars-special-guests-gather-anew-0907">ABS-CBN Ball</a> once again lived up to its reputation of being one of the most fashion-filled evenings in the world of showbiz, with dazzling stars walking the red carpet in their best interpretations of the &#x27;Spring Formal&#x27; theme. But let&#x27;s not forget that beyond the sartorial parade, it was also a night of connection, good vibes, and just letting loose. These hardworking stars and the ones working behind the scenes who came there to party really deserved a night off from their busy lives. And since most of us still can&#x27;t get over the epic night, let&#x27;s keep the fun going! On the day of the Ball, April 4, we threw in a few little challenges for the guests. We got some of your favorite artists to take on a totally random “Would You Rather” Challenge.  Vina Morales, Enchong Dee, Darren Espanto, Gela Atayde, Kolette Madelo, and Elijah Canlas bravely faced some surprisingly interesting items in this game.  Vina was already stumped when dared with the question, “Would you rather share a table at the ABS-CBN Ball with the Kanto Boys or The Hunks?” She laughed and said, “I love them all!” The &#x27;Kanto Boys,&#x27; which includes John Lloyd Cruz, Billy Crawford, and Vhong Navarro, and &#x27;The Hunks&#x27; Piolo Pascual, Jericho Rosales, Diether Ocampo, Carlos Agassi, and Bernard Palanca are both groups she has worked with on the Sunday variety show &quot;ASAP.&quot; So, she’d rather not choose since both squads are her friends, and she’s totally fine being seated with either. “Pwede naman kaming lahat sa iisang table,” she smiled. Next up, “<a href="http://abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab">Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition</a>” host Enchong was given the choice of whether he’d rather perform a task during the ABS-CBN Ball or head to the confession room right after the event. He quickly replied, “I wouldn’t trust myself going to the confession room after the Ball because everyone will be having fun, everyone will be a little bit tipsy.” So for him, doing the task sounds like the safer bet. When prompted to pick which PBB co-host he’d rather have as his collab partner, Enchong said he’s had a lot of fun with all of them, but his bond with Melai Cantiveros is something else—they even call each other “partner.” However, if the task inside the PBB house were serious, he doubts they&#x27;d succeed. &quot;Alam ko na papalya kami ni Melai sa collaboration namin,&quot; he said, laughing. That’s why he’d go for the most responsible and fiercest among them, none other than Bianca Gonzalez. As for Gela, she didn&#x27;t hesitate to go with the &quot;<a href="http://abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/asap">ASAP</a>&quot; Supahdancers when asked, &quot;Would you rather be with the same table with the Birit Queens na biglang bumibirit or Supahdancers na humahataw during the ABS-CBN Ball?&quot; Of course, she&#x27;d go for the &#x27;Supahdancers&#x27; squad since she&#x27;s one of them. But she added she wouldn’t mind sitting with the Birit Queens either. &quot;Kasi baka ma-inspire ako to sing. Wow?!&quot; she joked in a high-pitched voice, cracking herself up all while getting her makeup done. For Darren, the first question was, &quot;Would you rather perform at the ABS-CBN Ball with Jackie [Gonzaga] and Cianne [Dominguez] or Ryan [Bang] and Ion [Perez]?&quot; Since he considers Ryan one of his &quot;best friends,&quot; he’d love to try performing with Ryan and Ion first—and then maybe with Jackie and Cianne next time. And when asked who between Lassy and MC he&#x27;d rather have as his stylist at the ball, Darren picked MC, who is more meticulous. With matching sparkle in her eyes, ex-“<a href="http://abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024">PBB Gen 11</a>” housemate Kolette faced the question, “Would you rather wear an eye-catching outfit or something low-key and comfy?” She shared that she prefers something simple, “Kasi it represents my personality as a sweet girl.” Besides, simple can still be attractive, and she totally proved that at the Ball. Meanwhile, Elijah was given scenarios related to the series &quot;<a href="http://abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito">Incognito</a>,&quot; where he appeared as Donato Escalera. “Would you rather go to the ABS-CBN Ball in disguise or go as yourself?” Being an actor who constantly transforms for roles, Elijah thought it would actually be fun to go in disguise, “Hindi mo kailangan rumampa sa carpet. You&#x27;re just there to really enjoy the night and see your friends.&quot;And when asked which among the &quot;<a href="http://abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito">Incognito</a>&quot; Kontraks he’d want as his personal security at the Ball, he said they’re all skilled and strong, but if he had to choose, it would be Andres (Daniel Padilla), since he’s quick with his action moves. We bet these stars had so much fun at the “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/4/3/watch-the-abs-cbn-ball-2025-red-carpet-special-livestream-1223">ABS-CBN Ball 2025: Brighter Together</a>”! <div> </div><div> </div>
