They say PBB is a Charity show. I definitely don't agree!

After reading the blog provided in the link, read my opinions.

Ang layunin ng ABS-CBN at PBB ay isalarawan ang buhay at pangarap ng mga ordinaryong Pilipino at para matulungan silang maabot ang kanilang mga pangarap.


- Lauren Dyogi



That's Lauren Dyogi's statement that made ROBI fans realize that PBB is really a charity show.

Some will agree, but I'll be one of the few who won't. Direk Lauren has really stated it right. Being an Ordinaryong Pilipino doesn't mean that you have to be poor and uneducated. Being an Ordinaryong Pilipino also means that no matter how rich or poor you are, no matter where you are from or how much of Filipino blood you have, you still have to show what it is to become a Filipino.

Rich housemates don't win, some were saying. But I am sure that Beatriz Saw of PBB Season 2 is rich, but she won. Why? Because she has shown how it is to be a true Pinoy and that is knowing how to stand for what is right and not afraid of arguing about it.

In the case of the PBB Teen Edition Plus, many were saying that the management has cheated. In the 55 minutes left to vote, those votes for other housemates other than Ejay were not counted.

Let me ask you this question. If you are going to cheat a million people in the Philippines and probably in the whole world, do you have to make it as obvious as what was stated above? Do you have to show those people the conspicuous cheating? If the management cheated, then maybe they will just magically "PUT EJAY ON TOP" even if Robi has a lot of votes. That's really nonesense.

I am not saying that I'm doing this because I am Ejay's fan. I'm not. But I know for myself that Ejay truly deserved to win and not because more fans roared in the Araneta when Robi's name was announced, means that he has more supporters than Ejay.

The Araneta Coloseum is not the only basis for who will win. The screams of fans and supporters is not the only reason for their favorite housemates to win. For Araneta only has a fraction of the population of the whole Philippines. Why don't you try questioning about those who voted from their homes?
