Who Really Won In Pinoy Big Brother Double Up?

There's a lot of controversy surrounding the winner of the most recent Pinoy Big Brother Double Up edition - Melai Cantiveros, who was just third in the running a day before the voting ended.

Paul Jake Castillo had a striking lead to start with, it's hard to believe Melai caught up in such a short amount of time

Sources tell me, hours before the voting was supposed to end - votes for Paul Jake were already being rejected. Many rumors have surfaced saying that the results were rigged by ABS-CBN for Melai to become the big winner.

Did ABS-CBN rig Pinoy Big Brother Double Up? What do you think?

I think they did. If they had Paul Jake become the Big Winner, they would have been accused of being in it just for the money (which they probably are by the way). ABS plays with the results to make the public sweetheart win "against all odds" so to speak. Their biggest mistake really was they showed the running votes prior to the last day. I think that was a ploy to even increase the text votes, which must have worked at some point.

Playboy Philippines' New Covergirl is Pinoy Big Brother ex-Housemate -- Cassandra Ponti

It must be really difficult to get into showbusiness these days what with all these young girls taking their clothes off just to get some attention.

Cassandra Ponti though tells that she had a really hard time making all those poses work with minimum clothing on. She says no private parts are seen (not yet you mean) and that her parents and friends won't be embarassed of her with these photos (they better not!). What would Big Brother say?

She started out like this...



And then ended up like this.

When Local Actors Make A Big Deal Out Of Casual Sex

It is so obvious how absolutely backwards the Filipino perspective on sex and casual sex to be specific. Just recently news came out of a local actor - Baron Frederick Von Geisler, who was one of the housemates in the recent Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition.

Apparently he sexually harassed the daughter of another "playboy" actor, William Martinez, and she is Patrizha Maree Martinez, who forwarded her complaint to DoJ (Department of Justice) saying that the young actor Baron Geisler offered her a one-night stand while in the the Fiamma Bar in Makati City. Baron apologized for this that night and hugged her, touching her breast as he embraced her.

In a counter-affidavit, Baron explains that had the girl - Patrizha Martinez not shown interest in him, he would not have hugged her. Good point! How would Baron Geisler be able to even put his arms around a girl who clearly shows she is uninterested in him?

This is a very trivial affair that could have been settled by themselves instead of this very big and sensational case. I agree with Baron Geisler. It's the 21st century for crying out loud. Casual sex is a part of life. If she can't handle it then say no. I'm not saying that what Baron Geisler did was right. He should have been more sensitive and should at least have respected the girl. He should not have been "bastos" would be the correct local term. But asking for P5 million pesos? Now that's extortion! Come on she's not even that much of a looker!

The flip-side would be that the girl ought to have him respect her. Respect unfortunately you have to earn. This case I think is a lot more complicated than the facts that have been disclosed.
