So last weekend I was able to catch up with the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) OTSO Batch 2 Teen. After PBB announced the BIG FOUR from this batch, I insisted to find time on getting updated with them. Well as usual, I have my early favorites. Lance, Angela and Ashley stood out based on what Ive seen. I know they are not perfect but I think they gave characters to the season. After that, I promised to catch up with the new adult housemates inside PBB but I said maybe sooner. But not until this latest controversy inside PBB when Big Brother decided to force evict the funny fighter of Quezon City, Banjo Dangalan. The complete list of ADULT HOUSEMATES HERE
Apparently, Banjo Dangalan‘s behavior inside the house were called by his fellow housemates. On the 10th day episode of the adult housemates inside PBB, the show tackled the inappropriate jokes Banjo is using.
I am very glad that these girls speak out about this and showing too much courage in discussing what is not right. This kind of bad jokes are actually not new to us. To live in a country where your President himself is making these kinds of joke as if it is normal is sick. PBB made the decision to tell its thinking audience that it is NOT OKAY.
Okay to give you this seven-minute clip of the issue, here is the one from PBB Youtube channel.
Netizens engaged with last night’s episode after Big Brother announced Banjo Dangalan’s force eviction.
Big Brother also reiterated the Pinoy Big Brother rulebook, which states that:
I remember when Commission on Human Rights call the attention of President Duterte himself that rape joke is no laughing matter. ARTICLE from RAPPLER HERE
Here are some of the comments on twitter from PBB audience about it.Banjo is definitely a manyak. Why is that dude not nominated?! PBB better not favor a potential molester/harasser. Smh. #PBB8Batch4FirstNomi

To be totally honest, my Dad doesnt watch PBB, but his initial reaction when he saw how Banjo acts around girls when he saw us watching an episode was “Wow manyak.” That’s from a perspective of a man. So point is, he really acts like a PERVERT.#PBB8Batch4FirstNomi

However, Big Brother’s decision to force evict Banjo did not sit well with other netizen. And here are some of their comments.
Not to be a hater ah pero I think Banjo’s [inappropriate] actions are not funny anymore. Lalo na girls pa naman nakakapansin. 👎🏻#PBB8Batch4FirstNomi

This is my last take on this…there are so many ways naman po to raise awareness eh but for banjo to be publicly humiliated & judge on national tv without his consent & awareness is very unfair & foul aswell di man lang naexpain bakit ganun yung actions ni banjo #PBB8BadJoke

Dear PBB this is such a bad joke as well not because of Banjo’s inappropriate actions but you guys airing this episode I feel bad for banjo parang najudge at napahiya sya on national tv these kinds of issues should be discuss on close doors. #PBB8BadJoke

TRUE! that’s why I thought kuya will ask a psychologist or someone professional that banjo can talk. that’s why I find it unfair knowing that the past season have also this kind of issue

I don’t support rape jokes at all. Pero ang ewan lang na nagmake out na si Lou at Andrei (may mga concern din naman hms sa kanila ah?) pero di napatawan ng force eviction. Hahaha wtf? Yes, may mali si Banjo. Maling-mali talaga. Ang unfair lang sa dalawa dyan. 🙄🤨 #PBB8BadJoke

UNFAIR! I think banjo should punish but not to the extent na iforced evict kaloka ka kuya! Walang 2nd chance, buset! Irita ko sa girls sila ung 1 reason bakit sya natanggal! Nyemas! #justiceforBanjo#PBB8BadJoke
