Like a fairytale coming to life under the dazzling lights of the New Frontier Theater, the &quot;Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition&quot; Big Night on Saturday, July 5, became even more enchanting with AzVer’s head-turning visuals. The duo of AZ Martinez and River Joseph looked like royalty in radiant green ensembles. AZ was every inch stunning in an intricately beaded, figure-hugging lime green gown, while River matched his duo’s color in a trendy suit that highlighted his magnetic charm. With the crowd showering them with love, AzVer exuded genuine excitement as they savored the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/7/5/big-night-azver-breka-reflect-on-their-growth-in-kuya-s-house-pbb-collab-2352">final moments of their “PBB Collab” era</a>. Throughout their time inside Bahay ni Kuya, River became the protective &#x27;Kuya&#x27; AZ never expected. “No’ng unang meet natin dito sa bahay, sabi ko sa sarili ko, siguro sumasali ’to sa mga beauty pageants kasi sa look mo, paano mo dalhin ang sarili mo,” River smiled, admitting that he thought AZ was &quot;OA&quot; when she first spoke. In a journey video shown during the Big Night, he said he never imagined she’d become one of his best-est friends, until he discovered how much they have in common, like both recently losing their fathers and sharing a deep love for their moms. “I saw an AZ who had so much faith, who is a fighter, and never going to give up,” he reflected on his duo&#x27;s journey. “I’m so proud of you, how much you’ve grown. You kept pushing ‘til the end and always had faith in God. I’m super proud that I was part of your journey also.&quot; And then he promised AZ, “I’ll always be a big brother to you even outside of this house. I’ll always be there.” AZ&#x27;s message to River also showed just how much their bond means to her. &quot;Hindi ko ma-imagine yung journey ko na wala ka. &#x27;Yung table, I can&#x27;t imagine you not being there.&quot; She went on, &quot;Ang laki ng impact mo sa loob ng bahay na &#x27;to. Your story, sobrang inspiring siya sa akin. Because of you, I saw a different perspective in life.&quot; &quot;Nu&#x27;ng Tapatan, nilabas mo lahat ng nasa puso mo. You showed &#x27;you&#x27; talaga. Nasabi mo na you may have looked weak because you were crying a lot. Pero honestly that was the strongest that I&#x27;ve seen you,&quot; shared AZ. &quot;You always want to be there for other people. You want to fill their cups. I&#x27;ll always be here to fill yours.&quot; She continued, &quot;I promise to always be there when you need someone. I&#x27;ll always be there to listen to you, like how you listen to me. I&#x27;ll always be there to have faith in you.&quot; <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/7/5/big-night-azver-is-the-4th-big-placer-duo-pbb-collab-2245">AzVer was announced as the season&#x27;s 4th Big Placer Duo</a>.
