During a recent episode of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0," Iñigo Jose was admonished by Kuya for using code names to refer to other housemates. On Sunday’s broadcast, Iñigo was heard referring to himself as "Raphael," calling Sofia Pablo "1st Princess," and Lella Ford "2nd Princess" while recounting a story to his housemates. Similarly, Joaquin Arce utilized code names such as "Trey" for Ashley Sarmiento, "Bryan" for Iñigo, "Sunny" for Lella, and "Charlotte" for Princess Aliyah.

After discovering this breach, Kuya summoned Iñigo to the confession room to address the issue of using code names and other forms of coded communication, which are against house regulations. Iñigo explained his actions saying, "I couldn’t help but want to convey my message to the other person, so I wrapped the truth to express or share my genuine feelings."

Kuya reminded Iñigo that such behavior constitutes a violation of the rules, particularly as it compromises the house’s principle of honesty. Additionally, Iñigo was reminded that speaking under the blanket was also prohibited.

"Part of being true to yourself is admitting or expressing your real emotions," Kuya emphasized.

Following the conversation, Iñigo approached Joaquin to clarify his intentions and apologize for any resulting misunderstandings, which Joaquin accepted graciously.

"Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" continues to air weeknights at 9:40 PM, Saturdays at 6:15 PM, and Sundays at 10:05 PM on GMA.
