As I continued on watching PBB despite that I’ve been feeling more upset and disappointed than anxious and excited¹, I have to admit that this is the very first reality show that actually really drove me up to the wall. Though I’m not a huge, serious fan of reality shows in general², what I found interesting about PBB in general is that the show actually teaches the housemates and the viewers that, or rather touch base on, the very fundamental lessons that we’ve learned from the beginning of our lives. Because of this, the show technically became a family-oriented reality show, with different characters from different backgrounds and walks of life showing and introducing different inner colors to the world while being tested thorugh these fundamental values.

One of the most core, most significant fundamental values that we learned that pretty much rules over every other fundamental value: RESPECT. We learn to respect ourselves in terms of background, upbringing, dignity, integrity, and the environment that we grew up upon and the environment that we currently live today. We learn to respect others in terms of those same former aspects, in addition to respecting the stands and feelings of others regarding all different aspects of life. One of these aspects mentioned is none other than LOVE.

As of now, I’m quite baffled at this season’s PBB and why Kuya³ and the PBB staff are allowing situations regarding the current housemates that society finds sinful and immoral to the virtuous and spiritual upbringing of the common people⁴. During the early days of the season, housemates that were close to getting themselves engaged in to what they may consider as love has been halted by Kuya himself.⁵ Now, a whole lot more “sinful and immoral” situation has been airing for almost the entire month, and rather than doing the same action as they did with the earlier “potential” pairings⁶ because of the fact that one is currently attached to another outside the house while the other isn’t. It seriously baffles me why PBB is letting this sort of thing being aired on national TV where viewers of all ages have the habit of tuning in to TV and continue on the real-life happenings from where the last episode left off, contradicting the true purpose of the show. Was it because of ratings? Was it because it’s a strategy for them to milk money out of their viewers (and sponsors even)? Or was it because of the fact that it’s now past the first decade of the 21st Century that the entertainment business decided to go liberal with their shows by contradicting our fundamental values? Whatever reason that may be, majority of the viewers⁷ aren’t easily fooled in to getting themselves influenced by embracing what they’re seeing now and abandon their fundamental and personal values.

You all know what I’m referring to: Pamu and Kevin.

This is going to be a long article, so brace yourselves. Big time.

From the Beginning…

Pamu was introduced to us as the “Kiti-Kiti Kid of Batangas,”⁸ with a bubbly and outgoing personality that would remind many of us long-time PBB viewers of last season’s Big Winner, Melai. However, it wasn’t until fellow housemate, half-Japanese housemate Seiichi, started to express his feelings of love⁹ with Pamu that the whole world has finally took notice of her. I also admitted from the beginning that I was also caught in to the whole SeiMu pairing back then, simply because whatever makes Seiichi happy makes me happy also¹⁰. Sadly, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end and we have to face reality.

It was revealed that Pamu does have a boyfriend outside the house, Renz, and expressed her feelings towards ex-housemate Unad that she is committed to her current relationship and that she also feels that Seiichi’s feelings towards her must be just a case of infatuation, simply because they were the only ones inside the house for a long period of time. With this, eventually his feelings may change once he exits the house. With the help of Kuya, Unad brought Seiichi to a secluded place where they have a one-on-one chat about being in love the Filipino way while getting themselves drunk. Though heartbroken afterwards, Seiichi mustered up his dignity, and highly valuing respect¹¹, accepted reality and show respect for Pamu’s boyfriend Renz. It’s because of this that many viewers now look up highly to Seiichi simply because of respect.

This also, I may admit, made many viewers also look up highly to Pamu for being a definition of what a true Dalagang Pinay¹² should be: committed to her current relationship, respecting both her boyfriend and her suitor, and keeping her head up to show her dignity and integrity to the world as an individual…

… or so we thought.

… and Today?

After the Intensity 7 WIPEOUT Week, both Seiichi and Pamu made it in the Top 14 through viewer votes. But let’s forget about Seiichi at this point and focus on “the new guy in Pamu’s life”: half-American housemate from California, Kevin.

Back in the Industrial House days, we have witnessed first-hand the early closeness between Pamu and Kevin, but majority of us watching the 24/7 LS dismissed it as a “sibling”-type of closeness. After all, the entire Team Wayuk have always considered themselves a family. Who would have thought that a change of setting, from getting some housemates wiped out to the transition to the mansion would change things, most especially towards a person’s attitude and personality, a way of thinking, and most of all, a person’s personal values, such as, well, you know, RESPECT?

Pamu did admit back at the looban/barong-barong¹³ at the first week of PBB that she was one of the girls of the first batch who had a crush on Kevin¹⁴, but at the same time she was aware about her boyfriend she left at the outside world. She even admitted it to her former housemates at the industrial house the same, even with Kuya, but then stated that after getting to know him that she only sees Kevin like a brother. We’ve all seen her and heard her say it and we all believed in those words. There was nothing wrong with admitting such thing, after all, she was being honest and I respected her for that, thinking that she’s got nothing else to express to anyone at this point but respect for everyone involved with her. However, as the saying goes, actions do speak louder than words.

Upon entering the mansion during the Intensity 7 WIPEOUT week, things did begin to change, especially for these two close friends, Pamu and Kevin. Since Day 1 of the week after Intensity 7 that the 24/7 LS, the UDay episodes, and even the UNight episodes have always been focusing on these two. We’ll have to admit that some viewers fell for this “couple in development,” but for majority of the viewers¹⁵, the impression that we’re getting is that Pamu had become from the ideal Maria Clara in to some two-timing, hypocritical, attention-seeking camwhore who all of a sudden acts and feels like she’s the most beautiful girl the world has ever set their eyes upon. Who would have thought that a brand-new environment and mingling and integrating with housemates from the other team¹⁶ could change a person completely? I don’t know about anyone else, but if you have been observing Pamu’s past behavior as of late, you would notice the major change.¹⁷ I have seen it, other viewers have seen, and even her former Team Wayuk housemates have seen it.

If Pamu was able to withstand Seiichi’s advances by stating to him (and to everyone else around them) that she has a boyfriend and she’s committed to that relationship, why couldn’t she do the same when Kevin started to make advances at her? Rather than giving him the same answer she gave to Seiichi, she actually welcomed his advances and would respond to him the same way. Whatever happened to “I can’t respond to you because I have a boyfriend?”, Pamu? Whatever happened to the “Pinoy way” where a guy is supposed to RESPECT the girl who already has someone else she loves? Oh, in short, whatever happened to RESPECT altogether?

The Definition of RESPECT

From this point, it seems that both Seiichi and Kevin have a different definition of RESPECT towards Pamu and her long-time relationship with Renz. Here’s an ideal illustration of what those definitions are:

• Seiichi: I respect Pamu’s boyfriend and I respect Pamu’s commitment to her boyfriend.¹⁸
• Kevin: I respect the fact that Pamu has a boyfriend.¹⁹

If you read these two “definitions” carefully, you’ll see a difference. Seiichi showed and revered the meaning of respect²⁰ by distancing himself from Pamu, giving her space. If you were the person pursuing someone you’re interested him but is currently attached, wouldn’t you be showing how much you love and care for that person by giving space and distancing yourself, making sure that person would still be happy with your company? That’s what I thought would happen, with those two being close friends, but sadly, I was blind all along.

With Kevin, she allowed all of his advances and even responded to them with the same flirtatious acts. Now, if you were a committed, honest, and true girlfriend to the guy you have committed yourself to, wouldn’t you find this action shameful, sinful, and most of all painful? Kevin stated to Kuya in the confession room that he “respects” the fact that Pamu has a boyfriend, but if he actually DOES respect that fact, then why did he continue on his flirtatious advances to the said girl? You would think, he would do the same that Seiichi did before, so that Pamu can have space and actually take the time to decide whether she should continue this relationship with Renz at the outside world (or rather, wait until PBB is over that she can finally make her next move regarding Renz and her “complicated” feelings for Kevin). Kevin would have waited till that time comes, but like most Filipinos in general, both he and Pamu seriously lack patience. How shameful.

If you remember Team HV‘s Carlo and Wendy from before, they were put to the test to see if Wendy can keep her commitment to her boyfriend, Lance, or succumb to the temptations and be with Carlo. After going through a 2-day test²¹, Wendy chose to keep her commitment to her boyfriend. In return, Carlo also showed his RESPECT to Wendy and her boyfriend the same way Seiichi showing his respect towards Pamu and Renz.

What made things worse was Pamu’s reaction to Wendy’s situation with Carlo at that time. She stated that she is “ashamed” at Wendy’s “lustful” acts with Carlo knowing she has a boyfriend outside and that she would never do such a thing if she were on Wendy’s place. Really, Pamu? Your words speak, but your actions do the opposite. Your actions with Kevin simply made Wendy and Carlo’s situation completely “family friendly.” If this “temptation test” was even a contra battle between Team Wayuk (Pamu and Kevin) and Team HV (Wendy and Carlo), this is going to be a sure victory for Team HV because Wendy and Carlo have something valuable and honored that Pamu and Kevin lack. Guess what it is! That’s right—- RESPECT!

The “Sweetness” of MuVin = A Major SLAP IN THE FACE for Renz

I would have put Seiichi’s name on the subheading above, but he’s already over Pamu anyway, so I’m omitting him.

It really makes me ponder why some viewers think of Pamu & Kevin’s “cute and romantic” actions²² acceptable to these people that it’s illustrating to the younger minds that “cheating,” “playing around,” and (to make things worse) “falling in love” with someone other than your committed significant other is acceptable and okay. It’s also illustrating that hurting someone so important to you in exchange for your own happiness with someone of the third party is also okay. If you think about it, airing countless of pointless Pamu & Kevin “moments” every day, every night, and all through the 24 hours is like airing pornographic movies to the general audience on national TV.

It only took a voice recording of Renz to get Seiichi to distance himself from Pamu. It only took a 2-day “punishment” test for Wendy to distance herself from Carlo and to continue being faithful to her boyfriend Lance. But as for Pamu and Kevin? Even after verbal reminders from Kuya and even house player Paco to the two about Renz, it just had to come to a point where Renz himself had to enter the PBB house and face the two “forbidden” lovers to know what’s actually “real” in all sides at this moment. All of this— and the heartbreaking break up²³— just had to happen on national TV; in front of the general audience; in front of the entire world.

What a way to become hugely popular, don’t you think so, Pamu? Aside from you continuously whoring the camera so you can always be on focus in pretty much 24/7 on our TV screens and computer screens, you still continue on being a hypocrite²⁴ by being “nice” to certain housemates and then degrade them to others behind their backs when it’s convenient, and when things aren’t going on your side, you give the usual “have pity on me” act.

As for Renz, though I really do feel for him, he actually did the right thing by breaking up with Pamu right then and there at the perfect time— on national TV. Pamu needed the attention she can gather from the general public after all, so let this be it. She should be grateful and lucky to have a boyfriend who also possesses something valuable that she completely lacks: RESPECT. Renz respected where Pamu is happy and to the person whom Pamu feels a lot happier with (Kevin), and of course, also showed respect to Kevin himself after their one-on-one basketball match held at the activity area. He could have just broke out in anger and lash out his emotions and anger towards Pamu, but the value of RESPECT came in to play, and because of that, he was able to refrain from doing that action and simply have a one-on-one talk with his (now ex) girlfriend in an open and civil manner.

That’s right. RESPECT. That’s how much Renz loves you, Pamu. He was willing to let you go because he wants to see you happy, even if he can’t be that person who can make you anymore. Where did this love that he has for you based upon? Oh yeah. RESPECT.

As for Pamu? After one day of sulking because of the breakup on national TV (and no, girl, all of what you have gone through with your bf inside the house are all on national TV, you can’t request to “edit” that out), she goes back to her usual flirtatious ways with Kevin as if the entire meeting with Renz was just a shampoo wash out of the hair. It really makes me wonder if this “sudden change” of personality and attitude is the “brand-new” Pamu or the “real” Pamu that we’re seeing now. Her fans were simply saying that she was just being honest and true about her feelings, which is true. But they have forgotten or rather neglected the fact that their “natural sweetness” was also a trigger to pain, insult, and disrespect to someone significant who isn’t present in the house. Maybe they think that flirting with another while having a boyfriend/girlfriend is okay to them. I don’t know.

MuVin = The Next Melason??

Says who… was it Kevin? Dream on!

If you can recall the episodes from UDay sometime earlier this week, you should’ve caught a short bonding conversation between Jason and Kevin regarding the girls in their lives: Melai and Pamu. When Jason asked Kevin if he was going to pursue Pamu, the latter stated directly that the girl he’s been flirting with already has a boyfriend. In fact, he even had the NERVE to compare themselves to Jason and Melai.

As Jason stated, he replied to Kevin directly: “No, we are not the same.” He explained it clearly: Before entering PBB last season, Melai already broke up with her ex-boyfriend (Roy). It was even confirmed that the ex-boyfriend even appeared at the house and made it clear that he and Melai’s relationship had been long over.²⁵ In other words, both Melai and Jason were single and happily developed their relationship in to something deeper through the course of that season. Their tandem and their sweetness with nothing else attached was what made the general audience love them so much.

Really, Kevin, to compare yourselves to Melason? What were you thinking, that you’d also be as cute and lovable as Melason? Have you ever heard of the saying of “accept no substitutes”? Remember this, once we fall in love with something (or someone) special before our eyes, we tend to stick to the belief that there would be nothing else that can top the original. Before I thought that Pamu was funny, but later on I just realized that she was just trying way too hard to even capture the individuality and the quirk that Melai possessed during her run in last season’s PBB. Far from it, girl. Even if you keep on trying you’d still be at the top of my epic fail list.

And Kevin, you may have the looks and the body to drool for, but as for your mind and heart, you can never be comparable to Jason. Even Jason sees that. Don’t even try, dude. You’re nothing more than a pretty face to majority of us here.

Accept no substitute, folks!

To the Eyes of the Majority

I didn’t say “all.” I said “majority.”

PBB was NEVER about people finding a significant other and falling in love (WTF, leave that concept to other reality shows such as Jersey Shore or Temptation Island), but it was always about INDIVIDUAL housemates. Thanks to the overexposed, overrated exposures of Pamu and Kevin for the past month, most of the viewers are probably forgetting the rest of the housemates who are also inside the same house as those two. But because this was heavily promoted just to rack up the ratings, the general audience (again, not all) are becoming a lot more disgusted and a lot more annoyed with those two (which in turn, the entire season of PBB altogether) that all the hating and the bashing have become heavily prominent all over the place, the internet in particular. With all of this (and in hopes that there really isn’t any favoritism play going on within the PBB staff), it’s rather impossible for these two to have their names known on the positive light once again, just like way before in the beginning.

If this were in Pamu’s case (might as well say Kevin’s case also), there is only one easy way for those two to finally clean their image and have an acceptable impression from the general audience and the ones whom they hurt during their usual flirtations with each other: get evicted from the house.

To Pamu: Being the camwhore that you are, I have to say congratulations to you as you have succeeded in getting the attention of the entire world— at the expense of that special someone who did nothing but to love and respect you for the past (almost) two years. You’ve got the camera, you’ve got the eyes of the world looking right at you, and most of all, you’ve got the prize trophy housemate, Kevin. I’d like to see how this so-called “feeling” that you even declared that “you can’t stop” to the rest of the girl housemates will last while you remain in the house. Sadly for you, I’m already having this gut feeling that you’re not gonna last in the house for long. Feeling you’d be one of the Big 4? What the hell have you done to actually prove yourself these past three months that would make you worthy in becoming part of the Big 4, aside from flirting with Kevin, gossiping and sucking up²⁶ to the “IN CROWD” housemates²⁷ thinking you’d actually get accepted and be part of their inner circle, lazying around from lying down the living room couch to the lounging seats at the pool area²⁸, denying to certain housemates²⁹ of your envy towards others³⁰? As far as I know… well… nothing, really. You’re already epic fail at majority of the main tasks³¹, epic fail at being true to your closer friends³², and as far as I’m concerned, epic fail at dating and romance. Hell, you’re just simply EPIC FAIL to my definition altogether. Don’t ever think of yourself as the “definition” of a Dalagang Pinay to today’s generation, because if people actually define you as that, you’re not only already epic fail in my books, but you’d also make the entire generation of today’s Dalagang Pinay as epic fail as you are. Tsk tsk.

To Kevin: What’s the real score, dude? Do you also share the same feelings for Pamu as she does with you or were you just riding along with her so you can also have that fame throughout the public. You were already voted for being the most vain of all the housemates³³ by hogging the showers everyday, spending so much time fixing your hair in the mirror, working out to build up your muscles only to learn that you’re pretty much epic fail in sports/athletics, and charming the hearts of the ladies in the house simply just by being sweet to them. You say that you’ve got respect for everyone, and yet at the same time you’re not being honest either. Since you and I are both raised in California,³⁴ I should be expecting a lot of you by acting upon your own words, most especially with that whole RESPECT issue. You’re not exactly stupid, I have to admit, but when it comes to social interaction with girls who are currently attached, you’re just simply epic fail. In fact, you’re completely EPIC FAIL to the so-called “respect” towards others currently in a relationship. You’re the Filipino guy who’s supposed to value respect towards Filipino girls who already have someone else to love, as the Filipino custom of romance should go by. Shame on you, dude.

For those supporting those two together, you can have them. They’re all yours. You can have all the “kiligan” moments that you need.

The rest of us will have our own favored housemates. Rather than us having our fix of “kiligan,” we will watch them instead climb up the steps that would lead them to the Big 4.

Take your pick.

Sure, Filipino guys should respect you being the Filipino girl you are, but there’s no (unwritten) rule saying that you can’t return that same respect to those who actually love and care for you. Seiichi is one, then your own boyfriend?? Tsk tsk.

To Kevin: What’s the real score, dude? Do you also share the same feelings for Pamu as she does with you or were you just riding along with her so you can also have that fame throughout the public.
