> Dear Mr Lopez

> My amusement and intrigue in watching Pinoy Big Brother Season 2
here in Singapore has turned into an absolute disgust.
> I cannot fathom why such an established organization who claims to
be socially responsible and has helped to alleviate the plight of
countless lives allows and glorify acts of “shameless bullying” on
international television.
> Mr Lopez, in case you are not aware, bullying in any form is
totally an unacceptable behavior. To glamorize such on real life
circumstances should be considered a crime.
> I have been watching your Pinoy Big Brother 2 religiously for
nearly 4 months now and I can’t help but notice and be alarmed by the
disgusting behavior exhibited by one of the reality show’s female
contestants. What’s even more appalling is the nonchalant treatment
ABS-CBN is giving it.
> Your television shows must always adhere to invincible moral
benchmark and norm. In case you have not noticed, a female character
on your show which is obviously a “favourite of sort” by some powers
that be had so far displayed nothing but despicable qualities
bordering on lunacy. I am bothered on the messages you are sending me
as your viewer. I am 35, a full grown man with an IQ of 142. I can’t
imagine the messages received by those who are younger and with lesser
capacity to digest information?
> To show clips of the female character using poverty as her means to
justify her evil deeds is a spit on the face of every dignified poor,
struggling and hardworking Filipino there in the homeland and here in
abroad. Her persona is the embodiment of everything wrong about the
Filipino psyche and the perception of what life is all about. I am not
trying to tell you how to do your job Sir, just reminding you to take
a closer look on what’s happening.
> During the past few days, the Big Brother, (using his moral
discretion) showed footages of this female character bullying her two
housemates to a level even someone with down-syndrome would find
unacceptable. On top of that, this show leverages on the “improper
relationship” of this character again to a guy who is an utter
disgrace to every Filipino Barako. What about the rest? What the
“Fish” was that?
> I have to admit, your PBB 2 show has been quite an interesting show
to watch specially in its earlier stage. Unfortunately, it soured into
(many will agree with this) – an unpalatable junk that is hard to
swallow.
> During the past weeks, the show’s theme evolved on bitterness,
hatred, hypocrisy, self-indulgent behavior and doomed “romantic
relationship”.
> Mr “Big Brother” focused on these depressing matters which did
nothing but further contribute to the deterioration of my fellow
Filipino’s social and moral fiber.
> In case you have not seen your own “popular show”, which I believe
is raking you millions, please spare some time, take a step back and
discern what is right for your audience.
> If I may share with you an advice my brilliant Journalism
professor, told me once;
> He said; “Once you graduate and pursue a career with the media,
always remember that you are a man of power and influence. Please do
not feed people with garbage” Mr Gabby Lopez, I don’t eat garbage.
Your Reality Show Has Turned Into a Nightmare!
> You are a powerful and an influential man Sir,
> You may not be Spider-Man, but still, a powerful man.
> I believe you saw the first installment of this movie.
> Kindly heed Uncle Ben’s poignant words -
> “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
> I only request as a subscriber to your business (TFC), to ensure
that the outcome of your reality show or any shows of similar nature
involving millions of public monies must not be influenced directly or
indirectly by anyone other than the public.
> It is a known fact that show business is all about the money and
the bling-blings.
> But please – PBB 2 is a reality show, not politics.
> Let the public decide. This is the least ABS-CBN should do.
> ABS-CBN owe this to each and every Filipino who made ABS-CBN what
it is today?
> You owe this to your viewers, you owe it to me.
> Yours truly
