Pinoy Big Brother host Bianca Gonzalez issued a firm reminder to the public following a spike in online attacks against current and former housemates of PBB: Celebrity Collab Edition.
In Sunday night’s episode, Gonzalez addressed the growing number of harsh and even threatening remarks on social media.
“Isang paalala lang po sa lahat. Mayroon tayong nakita na ilang post na sumosobra na ang pagpaparating ng hurtful, offensive, at minsan life-threatening comments sa ating mga housemates at pati sa ating mga ex-housemates,” she said.
Gonzalez emphasized that while viewers are free to show support for their favorite contestants, it should not come at the expense of others.
“Ito rin po ay isang stern warning para sa lahat. Uulitin po namin, cyber libel is a criminal offense,” she added, warning that these types of comments could lead to legal consequences.
The current edition of Pinoy Big Brother is now on its third nomination week, with the tandems of Dustin-Ralph, Michael-Emilio, and Brent-Vince up for possible eviction.
