His time inside the Big Brother house attracted criticism online, mostly from fans of his on-screen loveteam with Francine Diaz, due to his apparent closeness with fellow housemate and former GirlTrends member Chie Filomeno.[18] Echarri clarified in a guesting in Magandang Buhay that he and Filomeno are both friends, explaining that their closeness was because they both went through a time in showbiz where netizens treated them (individually) on a bad light and, through PBB, felt like they have to prove something and "fighting for our spot inside the house."[19]
