After making a voluntary exit during the early part of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up, Princess Manzon returned to Kuya’s house together with other ex-housemates to form the Resbak Attack task force team. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, Princess explained that she agreed to be a part of PBB again to challenge the remaining housemates. “Napag-usapan naming ex-housemates na ilalabas namin ‘yung mga narinig namin from them sa confession room na sinabi nila about each other. Pero ang nangyari ako ‘yung pinakamaraming sinabi kaya it appeared na ako ‘yung bitchy. In my own defense ‘yung mga sinabi ko sila ang nagsabi nun sa confession room. Hindi ko lang maintindihan bakit hindi nila ma-confront ang isa’t isa. Napaplastikan tuloy ako sa kanila. The reason I made a voluntary exit is hindi ko kaya ‘yun. Kaya siguro sila ganun kasi they were playing safe so they can win the competition.”

But Princess admitted that the task hurt her in the same way that the other housemates got hurt with her actions. She was given the chance to visit House A in an attempt to destroy the domino tower protected by the housemates as part of their weekly task. In the process she and housemate Mariel Soriño almost got into a catfight. “Hindi ko kasi masyadong nakausap si Mariel when I was still a housemate kaya hindi ako prepared na magiging aggressive siya. Hindi naman ako nasaktan sa mga sinabi niya. Nagulat lang ako na hinawakan niya ako so I just defended myself. I managed the situation naman.”

The Cebuana beauty said that with all the reactions she got from the housemates during the time that she was being aggressive, she was impressed with the stands of Melisa Cantiveros and Jason Francisco. “I realized that si Jason and Melisa lang ‘yung friend pa rin ang turing nila sa akin. I was very happy. Kung ako ang nasa lugar nila I would also value the friendship more than the money or the task. The others were just there to play the game, especially the guys. Nasaktan ako kay Paul Jake (Castillo) kasi hindi na niya ako makausap nang diretso. Hindi siya masyadong nagpapakita ng reaction. Also sobra siyang determined sa task hindi na niya inisip na may mga masasaktang girls. I expected more concern from him para sa ibang tao.”

Following the Resbak Attack, Princess, Yuri Okawa, and Rica Paras joined the other housemates for a special task ordered by Kuya which she admitted she would have said “no” to. “Kung pwede lang tumanggi ginawa ko na kasi hindi ko na gustong maki-bonding sa kanila sa loob ng bahay kasi because of the competition nagiging plastic ang mga tao. Hindi ko talaga kayang maging housemate. Hindi ko kayang makasama ang isang taong ayaw ko at ayaw ako. I feel sorry for those na hindi nagpapakatotoo thinking na that’s how they can win the game.”

Nevertheless she got the chance to explain herself to the housemates, although according to Princess, she was no longer expecting to salvage her friendship with them. “I explained myself to them na sinabi ko lang ang mga sinabi nila sa confession room. I just acted that way for the task. Bahala na sila kung ano ang gusto nilang paniwalaan. Bago naman ako pumasok uli inilagay ko na sa isip ko na these are the people who I don’t think I can be good friends with. Hindi naman sa I don’t care but the truth is hindi ako masyadong masasaktan sa kanila. Let’s just see na lang ano ang mangyayari after PBB. Sina Melisa and Jason okay kami nina Rica.”

When she returned to the outside world, Princess said she was already expecting lots of haters because of what she did inside the house. But she told ABS-CBN.com that she doesn’t mind those people who would label her as the “bad girl” of this PBB season. “Nung lumabas kami ng Kuya’s Darlings mainit naman ‘yung pagtanggap ng mga audience sa amin. Maybe they understand that what we did was just a task. But when I went online I read lots of negative reactions about me. It doesn’t affect me though. Okay naman ako sa family and friends ko. You don’t need to always explain yourself to people. They will say something bad kahit ano pa ang gawin mo. I don’t entertain those people.”
