Big Brother Philippines Facts

The house was built in the country's largest city, Quezon City, at a cost of around 18 million pesos (£180,000) and features two living rooms, a garden and swimming pool.

Around 35,000 hopefuls had applied to be on the show. "It was not people with good looks, gorgeous bodies, or fantastic talents that we were looking for," said director Laurenti Dyogi of the selection process. "It was people with very interesting and expressive personalities-and the more unique, the better. For as long as they can pass a series of tests that would show that they have no violent and suicidal tendencies, we were willing to consider them to be in the final 12. And that's regardless of their profession, educational background and religion."

The winner will take home one million pesos (£10,000), a new house and a brand new Nissan Frontier Titanium 3.

[ My Opinion: called for, so don't argue ]

Pinoy Big Brother is the latest craze today on Philippine television, I guess. I've been able to watch a few number of episodes, and really, I'm entertained. But let me ask you one question, are you really interested in those lame challenges that Pinoy Big Brother is asking the housemaids to do? C'mon, let's just be true to ourselves here, No is your answer. How come that suddenly, we've become too curious of those people who probably we've already rub shoulders with in the past, the time when they're not on TV and we don't give a damn? Is it because there's a need for us to be on top of everybody else's business? Or is it because there's this longing inside us for the same fifteen minute of fame they're all experiencing now? We want to know what's happening to the housemaids as they put on their show and sell us the tasteless dramas we're all craving for.

I cannot blame you if you'll be fired up in disgust as an avid fan of PBB once you've read this, but I think the show is sooo pointless. Pointless because it is heartless. Heartless because it feels like we're being fed a piece of human misery, and not know it consciously, because we're so preoccupied with the kind of enjoyment that is selfish and inconsiderate.

how sad, it makes you happy.
