PBB craze

For almost a month we glued our eyes on the idiot box to keep us posted with what’s happening inside Kuya’s house. We were able to catch the very first time the housemates stepped foot inside. From the moment on, we already drew our own impressions to the variety of personalities and even chose our own bet. As days passed, we were able to discover new personas developed. We were surprised with a number of twists happening that tickles our own curiosity.
From teens coming from abroad combined with those from the different provinces of Pinas, and even spiced up with the classic Ateneo- La salle rivalry, PBB had taken us into an artificial world staged to let the masses decide on who should best represent the Filipino youth. Now, with less than a week left, the people should pick on who from the remaining teen housemates would be most deserving for the title “Big Winner”.
Others who have been fond of the housemates would work their ass off voting for their own choice while some would just shrug the idea off and just wait for the results. Some people may even have criteria as basis on who should stay and go. We point out certain characteristics and values that a person is made of. We take into account what he/ she had done inside the house.
For some reasons, we can’t help but think that other than proving to be the best of the bunch you also need to have a lot of supporters. In one way or another, this is but a popularity contest, you need to rack up votes to stay in the house and be able to win. For that matter, more often than not the admired would win over the worthy.
But then again it all boils down into us. This is more than a question of who we want to win. It’s all about who is worthy to win. It’s about digging for the person’s value and morals. Looking through for someone who would be the best advocate of the today’s youth. Who generated an effect that of a role model. After all, more than just an adage, it’s a lot to be expected from being “Kabataang Pinoy.”
