Gretchen "Chen" Magbanua Albaniel and Luzviminda "Luz" McClinton are a team of Pinay World Champions on The Amazing Race Philippines 2.

While they did fine on the first leg, the duo of champions struggled in an utterly disastrous second leg, especially when they mistakenly threw away the water bottle with a bottle cap that contains critical information for the ferris wheel task. After a heated argument at the Pit Stop, the two ended their friendship.

Post-Race

• Since their elimination, Chen and Luz have no longer been on speaking terms as they're no longer friends on a post-show montage at the end of second leg.

Trivia

• Prior to competing on The Amazing Race Philippines 2, Luz was a contestant in the fourth season of the Philippine version of Big Brother, Pinoy Big Brother: Unlimited.
• Chen is the sixth person to not be present at the Finish Line, after Toni & Dallas (The Amazing Race 13), Eric & Lisa (The Amazing Race 15), and Lani Pillinger (The Amazing Race Asia 4), thus, not counted all of the eliminated teams in The Amazing Race: A Corrida Milionária and Amazing Race (France).
  • This would have been followed by Anthony & Spencer, Connie & Sam, and Caro & Ray in The Amazing Race 33 and Tim & Rex in The Amazing Race 34.
