Easy ka lang ruben. sorry ka na lang pero pati yang Gaby mo eh si Ruben ang kinampanya. Kung fan ka talaga nya, dapat sinunod mo na lang yung kagustuhan nya dahil sa kanya mismo nanggaling iyon.
Tahan na. Wag ka iiyak ha.

LOL ruben. you’re a bitter one.
It’s interesting to note that Gaby dropped all the way from 1st place to 3rd after she and Will directly endorsed Ruben to be the big winner.

she’s Naturally beautiful,mas lalo pa nga eh kung WALANG katiting na MAKE-UP.she’s sexy without even trying.eloquent,smart,tactful and yet, unafraid to speak from the mind and the heart (NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE 43 CAMERAS).she reportedly grew up previleged and lucky with many things, but far from PERFECT, which just makes her all the more endearing because she doesn’t try so hard to be “SUPER” this and that.She was able to make her goals known for joining PBB like gaining more sponsors for a sport she loves so much and a feat that brought pride to Filipinos (at least for those who knew her before PBB), without that undignified paawa effect.She may have experienced growing pains especially when her parents split up, but she doesn’t seem to be bitter or unappreciative of her parents/family.Palaban si Gaby pero she is also SELF-LESS, HUMBLE, & VERY SENSITIVE to other people.Para nga siyang Ying and Yang
Her athleticism and nicely toned physique brought so much admiration and INSPIRATION to many women and girls (and BOYS!) who may not have placed health and fitness on the top of their priority list, pero ngayon ay nagiging interesado na or mas lalong ginanahan maging fit and mag-try ng iba’t ibang sport. As far as sa mga tasks, challenges, at parusa sa loob ng PBB, obviously she was one of the HM’s who always gave a 100% of their effort,panalo man o talunan.I just have to say it talaga na, with GABY, ika nga ng mga HM’s,gender is a non-issue sa mga difficult tasks at marami silang ipinanalo dahil sa group effort at sa kalakihan ng naiaambag ni GABY.Nakita ko rin ang pagiging makatao at pagka God-fearing niya…hindi dahil parati siyang nagpapakita sa camera na nagdadasal o kaya nagkukwento ng kung ano anong para tawaging religious or mapagkawang gawa, kundi sa mga actions and decisions niya sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya.She’s a Doer, not a preacher,for show. People can’t
get enough of Gaby talaga,kakalungkot na hindi na siya mpapanood 24/7, sana nga she’l get the right project sooner or later.I don’t really care what riza’s fan rave and rant about, and i won’t even budge everytime they say all the superlatives about riza, AT THE EXPENSE OF GABY,MARIEL, and ETHEL,because for me, riza and gaby don’t even belong in the same league. Gaby is far more accomplished, endearing, and beautiful inside and out.She doesn’t even need to follow the lead of PBB winners na pinakakanta,pinasasayaw at pinaarte.Daming kaya gumawa niyan. May hitsura or katawan lng tapos konting talent, kayang gawin yan. Sadly, not all of them last and make a ignificant contribution to the industry. GABY, don’t feel that you have to drastically change anything, unless it’s to your liking or advantage,because we love you for who you are.You have our support:)
GABY is also my big winner…for the abovementioned things and more…I’m so happy that everyday I find sites like these wherein nakakita ako ng napakarami pa palang people na pareho kong nagmamahal kay Gaby.GO GAB GO GAB GO GAB!!!
