Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before...

I thought ABC is always been Channel 5, did they moved it?

ABS-CBN.

i really like those chat-room like channels though. hahaha. asia is so weird for having those... and 24/7 karaoke.

Ooops...Sorry,... They didn't moved it. That was still channel 5..

^ok

GMA SEE THE POLL HAHAH U LOST!!!
HAHAHAHAHA

the reason I voted for abs-cbn cuz gma only two shows in SoCal (eat bulaga & saksi ) and the news is like 4 days late

Jack TV. hehehe

ABS-CBN! I would only turn on the TV for that. Still, now that I have TFC, I mostly watch that network. Back in the Philippines though, I watched quite a lot of MTV.

abs-cbn !!!

ABC is channel 5

But lately there is a shift in watching PBB "Pinoy Big Brother"

The show had been getting a lot of controversy due to :
MTRCB
: Concerned citizens
Pro-life Philippines
Priests and Nuns
Loosing virginity topics
virginity issue of Maam Racquel
Female condom
Wearing of bikini's and briefs of housemates
The conservative look
Housemates privacy
Boys and girls relationship
etc.......

The Pinoy Big Brother “reality show” recently received a flak from
concerned groups for showing too intimate and lewd footage on air. The
groups filed complaints to MTRCB Chairwoman Maria Consoliza-Laguardia to
censor and if possible suspend the show. ABS-CBN representatives and the
concerned groups composed of the Coalition for Decency and Morality
(Code M), CBCP Office on Women, Pro-Life Philippines, The Philippine
Crusade for the Defense of Christian Civilization, Skills, Values, and
Entrepreneurship for Progress (SAVE), and the Family Federation for World
Peace, attended a meeting with Laguardia last August 26 to discuss the
matter.
In response to MTRCB admonitions, ABS-CBN promised to tone down the
sexual and erotic content of Pinoy Big Brother and to focus on its
teledrama theme.
MTRCB encouraged viewers to continue monitoring objectionable live
feeds in the show and to file their position papers and complaints. Future
violations will be ground for suspending the program.
Below is the position paper of Pro-Life Philippines which summarily
presents the concerned groups’ objections to Pinoy Big Brother.

Dear Madam,

We from the Pro-Life Philippines would like to raise our complaints
against the “reality show” teleseries Pinoy Big Brother being aired on a
prime time slot in ABS-CBN Channel. We are very concerned and troubled
of the implications of this show to our children and to society in
general. We are voicing our objections against the show on the following
grounds, which we hope will merit your attention:

• Pinoy Big Brother infringes the intrinsic right to privacy of
persons, where privacy is cast as something with a price, in this case, P
1-million cash plus house and lot to winners. The fact that the
participants still show reservations (call it “inhibitions”) in doing some of the
activities and penalties on camera is a testimony that we human beings
by nature, unlike the lower animals, need to guarantee our sense of
private space. We decry the participants being lured to expose their
private and toilet activities on public.

• Pinoy Big Brother taunts the intimate relations between man and woman
in a marriage. The participants in the show tell that what they are
baring on TV and doing together with their “partners” (dressing and
undressing, going to the toilet, doing body paints, going to rooms together,
going bare from swimming pools) is acceptable to any man and woman the
way husbands and wives will eventually do together. But the
participants are not husbands and wives to be encouraged to do things they admit
are proper to married partners. The partners are not even committed or
engaged to each other, where one is already married and beginning to
have a crush on a housemate. This is worse than TV shows presenting
boyfriends and girlfriends engaging in erotic and sexually suggestive
activities. The characters are complete strangers and are openly vulnerable to
each other’s ploys to win the game.

• Pinoy Big Brother exposes our children to wrong values on sexuality.
In one episode, housemates discussed use of female contraceptives and
first sexual encounters. One male contestant shamelessly confessed he
was eight when he had his first sexual experience with his maid.

• Pinoy Big Brother defeats its claimed “reality” value that supposedly
justifies its lewd presentations. The participants are placed in
conditions that don’t reflect real life. Being conscious that they are on
air, it is expected for them not to act out their true selves the way they
will do off the record. Pinoy Big Brother is a sham, and our children
deserve better than phony discussions and “realities.”

• There’s nothing “pro-Pinoy” in Pinoy Big Brother. It blurs the true
state and lifestyles of ordinary Filipinos while exalting irresponsible
hippie and yuppie living. Majority of Filipinos start their day
preparing to go to office or school, busy throughout the day, and spending the
rest of their time with their families or genuine friends, far from the
Filipino “reality” being shown in the teleseries. The TV program is but
an imitation of an American “reality” show version. The original show
casts self-confessed people from broken families who lived in
dysfunctional environments. Its voyeuristic and exhibitionist theme only gives
participants opportunity to exhibit their dysfunction (cuss words,
suggestive sex on air, etc.) not cure it. We expect these kinds of show to
worsen if we will tolerate them.

We therefore hope that your good office will stop Pinoy Big Brother or
any of its kind from airing on TV. We expect your board to continue
preserving our most invaluable and true Pinoy values. Thank you very much.

Respectfully yours,

MR. NICOLO F. BERNARDO

Housemates Reveal to Kuya Their Possible Nominations
Friday, September 02, 2005 10:46 AM


They already have their nominations. Ten housemates revealed to Kuya yesterday their POSSIBLE choices for the first ever Pinoy Big Brother Nomination Night.

As early as yesterday, Franzen, JB, Jason, Uma, Rico, Bob, Say, Cass, Nene and Racquel have already decided who they would possibly choose for the upcoming nomination, which will be held tomorrow night. Only Chx and Jenny remained puzzled as to whom they will select among the 12 housemates. The two told Pinoy Big Brother that they still need more time to think about the matter.

Reasons for their Nominations

The housemates gave two main reasons for their possible nominations. It’s either they don’t like the housemate or they feel that the housemate is a major threat against their survival inside the Pinoy Big Brother house.

Among the housemates who chose to nominate the persons that they think are threats to their ultimate survival inside the house are Rico, Racquel and Nene.

Rico said, “Kasi po, like sa Survivor, yung parang nakikita mo na medyo nasa taas, hahatakin mo pababa, ganoon po yung alam kong mga style. Basta pagdating ng nomination day, magiging totoo po ako sa sarili ko, hindi ko muna iisipin ang friendship..”

Other housemates wanted to eliminate the persons that they are not comfortable to live with inside the house

JB explained that although he has nothing against on some of the housemates, he stressed that he’s relationship with them is not that well. “Wala po kasi kaming napapag-uusapan, Kumbaga hindi ko po alam kung pano makarelate sila, ang ganun po rin sila siguro sa akin.”

Although they have different opinions on who they want to nominate, the twelve agreed on one thing; they are not yet ready to leave the Pinoy Big Brother House. They said that if ever they’re ousted from the contest, they will accept their fate but with a heavy heart.

“Siyempre masakit yun, pero kailangan kong tanggapin kasi mayroon talagang magiging winner dito. Tatanggapin ko na lang at magdadasal na lang ako na baka mayroon pa akong ibang chance,” Jenny explained.

The Final Nominations

The choices that the housemates made yesterday are not final and unofficial, Most of all, it has no bearing on what will be the outcome of the Nomination night tomorrow. Pinoy Big Brother only asked their sentiments on the upcoming nomination night. The only housemate that is sure to be nominated tomorrow is Rico, since Pinoy Big Brother already nominated him last Wednesday for showing unpleasant behavior inside the house.

The housemates still have more than a day to make their final choices. And a lot can still happen that might affect their decisions. One great factor that could influence their final nominations is the result of their Dance Marathon Challenge, which they will know today.

can i vote AXN? hehe

ABS-CBN, for news and public affairs... because they have vast coverage of the philippines and abroad.
GMA, for comedy (coz its not that corny compared to ABS-CBN) and their shows like Jessica Soho Reports, Imbestigador, etc. coz Kapuso talaga. hehe

where's that "STRAIGHT TALK" shown again? i think that's the only show i watch in another philippine channel. other than that, it's AXN, Studio 23 and Animax for animes.. kid stuff.. LMAO

r there that many bi/gay ppl in th PI, that they have to name the show "straight"

cuz we have Gay Channel in the US
http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2004/...ch_gay_channel/

and have no plans to watch it (unless theres some girl-on-girl action)

LOL. I have that LOGO channel. What can I say? I love gay people

ok, just keep lovin' em

haha good one. they probably named it straight talk since most talk shows tend to have more showbiz and chika rather than serious topics. well, some will consider them serious if you think you're so into an actor/actress' life.

i think gma7 have a slight lead on abs-cbn2 in overall ratings, (but the article i
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi there im a newbie here.
i think GMA7's NPA has a lot more to offer compared to that of ABSCBN. they have a lot of political affiliations making their news quite a bit biased. and they certainly are afraid in voicing out the right news for the people.
although they do have great entertainments to offer for its viewers.. 2

hi tarantina! , ABS-CBN show the ratings whenever they beat GMA, but i think that hasnt happend in quite a while...

thanks for the welcome!
yup coz ABS has been on the dumps lately. even their employees accepts the fact that GMA is finally on the no 1 spot...

GMA is even catching up in the US with Pinoy TV, to rival TFC.
....unfortunately its not yet available in my area

oh..really? where are you located at? sayang naman..

Inland Empire, SoCal

i dont want you to think i know the place...lets just pretend i know that place... you're a filipino?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Empire_%28California%29

" you're a filipino?" - oh c'mon

yep, they tend to be a bit biased. ABS-CBN is more non-partisan compared to GMA. that was the reason they got shut down during Marcos' era.

yes I am... but my looks isn't look like a Filipina, i'm a "Chinita" or a typical look of a Japanese or Korean.. whatever... Usually people ask me wether i am half japanese or korean..., something like that... 2

How about ABS-CBN??

IMO, GMA is the best here in the phils coz first : they first upgraded their LOCAL networks so the viewers' reception is good in any place here in the phils , now they are making their move to make it global with the Pinoy TV

second :

third : they are the ones whose catching up wif the ratings of GMA7 except for the recentl piboybigbrother.

lastly :
yup, i have a friend working in ABS as a PA and he told me that their bosses are watching the shows of GMA to copy it for their next episode! what competition do you call this?

PEACE AWT!

kapamilya here.

yah you're right! Actually i've heard that already that they are watching the other network's show to copy for the next episode.. Some sorts of "gaya-gaya" whatever.. That makes a sense that a network like that has no originality at all... How will they going to make it to the top??

Im definitely KAPUSO!!!

I dont like how ABS "throws" aways its talents after using up all their shine... Look what happened to Jolina and a lot more others who left ABS and went to GMA. Their careers became better than ever.

GMA knows how to care. It's not just big money. Affiliations? I think ABS CBN has the most affiliations in politics.. Where did the current VP come from? Who are the owners of the station? What is the connection with the President now? And even ex-President Erap? You do the math.

Plus ABS CBN is the number 1 manggagagaya.. Pinoy Big Brother? Can they be more original? Can they even top extra challenge? Starstruck vs Star Circle? Sure, GMA had some "imitations" from ABS but when they copy, they do it a lot better.

My apologies to ABS CBN followers... I am just expressing my opinion..
This is a free country

P.S. So happy that Pinoy TV is going to be available here in Malaysia soon! But, the installation is so expensive!!! it's about RM1000 or Php15,000 and that's excluding subscription of about P1K every month! Waaaah

you have a point there... GMA cares for their talents, that's true... Whatever the other follower says, they cannot deny the fact that most of their artist can now be seen on GMA7... No wonder why... 2
