TONI GONZAGA
EASILY, intinding-intindi namin kung takot magsalita against sa Pinoy Big Brother si Toni Gonzaga.
Being one of its hosts at nandiyan pa ang katotohanang kasama ang kapatid niyang si Alex Gonzaga bilang isa sa housemates, natural lang na ipagtanggol ni Toni ang show na naging controversial because of its nude painting challenge.
“Everything is just really to test a person’s principles and values na kinalakihan. Kapag nagbigay ng go-signal at na-approve iyon (ng Endemol), ibig sabihin may kabuuang concept iyon na makakatulong sa tao na binigyan ng challenge na iyon. Alam naman ni Kuya (Big Brother), alam naman ng PBB ‘yung limitation niya,” esplika ni Toni in a recent interview.
Ganyan pa kaya ang maging scenario kung ang kapatid ni Toni na si Alex ang binigyan ng Kuya ng nude challenge? Baka magwala sa galit si Toni o ang kanyang madir, ‘no!
Nag-apologize na ang producers ng PBB matapos makipag-meeting sa pamunuan ng MTRCB.
“While the objective of the week-long task was to see how the housemates would react to a test of their convictions and values, and was not intended to disrespect the rights of any housemate, the producers wish to convey their sincerest apologies to those who were offended, and assure the public and the MTRCB that the program will continue to ensure the protection of women’s rights in general, and housemates’ rights in particular, while providing quality and yet gender and audience-sensitive entertainment to its audiences worldwide,” nakasaad sa kanilang statement.
What “quality and yet gender and audience-sensitive entertainment” are you talking about, eh, naka-offend na nga kayo ng sensibilities ng manonood ninyo? Are you out of your mind?
