Last night, Jon, Riza, Will, Baron, and Ruben were called into the confession room. There, Kuya reminded them about the strict house rule that prohibits any form of drawing or writing. Apparently, these five housemates got carried away by their weekly task of designing their giant Christmas lantern. With the papers, pencils, and coloring materials, Jon, Riza, Will, Baron, and Ruben made some scribbles which were not related to the task. Since Kuya does not tolerate any violation inside his house, he warned the five that a punishment was being "drawn" for them.
Then this morning, the five were given small brushes, make-up and face paints and were instructed that their faces will be their canvases. Apart from expressing their creativity, this punishment will also serve as a lesson since every time they will catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror, they will be reminded of the major house rule that they all violated.
After getting all the materials, the five started painting their faces. Ruben enjoyed painting his face, for his design compliments his new shaved look. On the other hand, the True Lover ended up looking like a member of the band KISS with all 
the dark colorings on his face. Meanwhile, Baron and Riza decided to put on a scary look like it's Halloween, and Jon settled for a black and red face.
As per Big Brother's instruction, Jon, Riza, Will, Baron, and Ruben must each maintain their make-up until the time Kuya lifts the punishment. This means that once they notice that their make up is wearing off, they must immediately retouch their face paints. But the bigger question the five violators have at the moment is when will their punishment end and what's else does Kuya have in mind for them? For the funny and scary faces of the housemates, be sure to catch Uber this afternoon at 5:30.
Tonight, we have glimpsed the conclusion of Gladys’ voluntary exit which weighed heavily on Big Sister. Big Brother checked in on her twice to make sure that everything’s going smoothly despite Gladys’ protests to come out. Her depression lasted throughout day 57 and reached its climax when she burst into tears just when they were about to carry out their gift-giving activity. As such, everyone gathered in the girls’ bedroom to comfort her, leaving the 30 chosen kids waiting for the merry event to start. After the Queen of Patawa’s sobs died down, she then told them to proceed with the task without her. 
Three weeks in the outside world made Ethel long for her colorful life in the big yellow house. Though she refused to dwell on her bitter parting with her ex-boyfriend, this obviously spurred her on to continue her PBB stint although as a mere guest this time. The housemates were certainly giddy with excitement upon seeing their beloved ex-housemate with two hunk alalays in tow. The Ultimate Pasaway was bursting with stories to share but of course she refrained from giving them too much clues about the hottest happenings in Tinseltown. 
Prior to her entrance, Ethel had a short interview with Uber host Bianca Gonzales. The Ultimate Pasaway said that she is coming back into the house as an act of gratitude towards Kuya and the housemates. Ethel is not bothered though that now she is just a houseguest. More than the competition and the prize, Ethel looks forward to being with the housemates this Holiday season. Also, Ethel confessed that she misses Will and Ruben so much. Ever since before, the singer-comedienne had been vocal about her crush for the True Lover and her fun friendship with the Komedyanteng Promdi. Ethel joked that she is now ready to win Will away from Riza. Also, Ethel is returning to begin her journey of self discovery, of giving joy to the housemates, of helping three chosen families from the outside world, and to assist Big Brother in finding out who truly deserves to be this season's Celebrity Big Winner. 
Ruben called Will for the start of their morning Tagalog lesson. The Komedyanteng Promdi showed the True Lover a stack of cards, each having a Tagalog word written on them. All the word meanings ranged from basic to profound, like the words "karagatan," "palikuran," and "humahalimuyak." For every flash card, Ruben first gave sample sentences to give Will an idea on the meaning of each word. After that, Will had to come up with his own sentence using the given word. Ruben had to make sure though that Will is using the word in the right context and tense. Will went through a tough lecture, especially when he encountered the words "paglaganap," "himpapawid," and "pakikipagtunggali."
But after giving all his best efforst and noticing that his student had made a little progress, Ruben decided to take a lunch break. The time then came for Will to put his learning to the test as he had to pass on the lessons to Riza. The True Lover was caught off guard, however, since he could barely recall all the Tagalog words and their exact meanings. It was impressive to hear that the Desirable Diva can speak some comprehensive Tagalog, but the challenge for her was to get familiar with the words as profound as "bumabagabag," "nagbabadya," and "nakagayak." Riza had her share of lapses, but since Will was still a fresh learner, the smalls errors remained uncorrected.
Then came Riza's turn to teach the words to Jon. Unfortunately, all the words escaped the mind of the Desirable Diva like dusts in the wind, hence, Riza hastily went back to the flash cards and the dictionary for a refresher. When the time came for Riza to explain the words one by one, she had her own interpretation of the words, different from what Ruben originally taught to Will. Riza came to Ruben and the other housemates for help a number of times, and Kuya had to remind her that she was not allowed to get help anymore. This resulted in Jon becoming more confused with the words on the cards. In one instance, it was even the English Outcast who reminded the Canadian beauty of the meaning of "nakagayak."
