Responding to her being tagged in the relationship of Martin and Montes, Pressman said: “In the beginning I was a little nervous, kasi hindi naman po talaga ako kasali.”
She also laughed off speculation that her closeness with Martin was among the reasons Montes has been on hiatus from showbiz and living abroad.

KCFI vice president Edric Calma expressed his appreciation for the Bálay Pinoy School Caravan, stressing that Knowledge Channel remains committed to integrating values into its educational programming across various subjects.
“We always make sure to integrate values in all the educational shows that we produce, even if it is for Mathematics, Science, Araling Panlipunan (AP), Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), or Physical Education (PE). We are happy to have a month-long celebration dedicated to Filipino values led by the NCCA because it brings focus to this important topic,” Calma said.
NCCA’s deputy director Marichu Tellano emphasized the importance of Bálay Pinoy and the celebration of Values Month for Filipino youth. She highlighted the role of education in instilling essential values from a young age — furthering their holistic development.
