Labajo was raised by his grandparents after his German father, Oliver Stolz, died and his mother left to start another family. He, however, refused to paint his mother as a "pabayang ina" because she paid for his education.

Labajo's emotional outburst stemmed from the episode's task of having the housemates orchestrate a puppet show. After suggesting a few improvements to their initial plan, he told "Kuya" that he felt his opinion wasn't being taken seriously.

The confusion was later ironed out, leading to the housemates successfully completing the task. However, Labajo's rare show of emotion prompted "Kuya" to ask him about his past.
