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.
