A Demand on Respect

December 05, 2007 11:59 PM

Day 51 was pay-back time for Jon and Will who repeatedly disobeyed Big Brother’s rule about speaking in Tagalog or Taglish at all times. As such, Baron, Gaby and Gladys were asked to think of an appropriate punishment for the English-speaking dudes last Sunday. In the garden, the trio had decided to require them to create a poem using ten specified Tagalog words. It was definitely a challenging task because every misuse of which will result to a harder penalty—eating sliced ampalayas (bitter fruit)and carrying heavy encyclopedias on their palms!

As soon as the difficult consequence began, Will grew more frustrated in grasping the right terms and building coherent sentences. But he attempted to humor himself even in the midst of his struggle. However, Gladys took his quips in a bad light as he accused him of playing around. Offended, the True Lover explained that he was just trying to make things easier for him since the ordeal that they went through was wearisome as it was. And the heated argument further rose up.

Apparently, the Queen of Patawa felt disrespected because of the way Will answered her back. In her thinking, she did not deserve such treatment since it was not her idea to make them suffer anyway. It just happened that she was assigned to oversee the whole thing, hence he should bring his complaints to Big Brother and not to her, she maintained. Moreover, she thought that Will refused to follow her as she’s only a newbie.

On the other hand, the True Lover was merely attempting to justify his actions to her since she mistakenly thought that he’s not taking the poetry test seriously. Unfortunately, he was not getting through to her. This obviously bothered him as he looked ready to burst his emotions anytime during the tension-filled incident. He was at a loss as to how he could clearly communicate what he wanted to say. Good thing Yayo and Ruben were there to lend their support and faith in him. They also reasoned out that perhaps, Gladys was so conscious of being stern and all since she’s fairly new and doesn’t want to commit a mistake.

When their anger subsided, the celebrity housemates helped the two thresh things out. The True Lover apologized for his actions while the Queen of Patawa reiterated that she simply did her job and it was nothing personal. And for her final words, “From now on isaksak natin sa mga ulo natin bakit tayo asa bahay ni kuya. We’re here for a competion.” Hm…Will this cause a notable repercussion during the next call for nominations? Keep watching Pinoy Big Brother Primetime Bida for more drama and intrigue!
