'MANILA — "PBB Gen 11" housemates Fyang Smith and JM Ibarra see their first ABS-CBN Ball as an exciting milestone and hope to make it even more unforgettable by stepping onto the red carpet together.

“Gusto ko sabay kami,” Ibarra said in an interview held in Quezon City, Thursday.

“Sabay naman talaga kami,” Smith added. “Basta every time kasama ko siya masaya.”

While the pair, known for openly showing their closeness, did not confirm if they are officially together, they admitted that their relationship is special.

“Ang focus namin career at trabaho. As long as may pagpapahalaga at respeto sa isa’t isa sapat na sa amin,” Ibarra reasoned.

“Masasabi ko po napahalagahaan namin isa’t isa,” Smith chimed in.

The former housemates explained they genuinely enjoy each other’s company and cherish every moment they share together.

"Masaya kami 'pag magkasama may work man o wala, masaya kami. Siguro the way magkasama kami everyday, doon po,” he said.

“Sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya, doon nag-start maging comfortable sa isa’t isa. Nadala ko sa labas ng bahay at nagtuloy-tuloy po… Kahit wala kaming ginagawa basta magkasama kami,” she added.

The pair also suggested that they only have eyes for each other.

“Walang makakasingit! Wala, bawal,” Smith announced.

“Hindi po sila makakasingit,” Ibarra said.

The two are also set to lend their voices to "Picnic," a Korean film which will be dubbed in Filipino.
