The Gabriela Women's Party has issued a strong public rebuke against the producers of the popular reality show 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0'. The feminist group is calling for immediate action following a series of incidents inside the famous house that it describes as promoting a culture of sexism under the guise of humor.
Statement Against Offensive Humor
In a formal statement released on December 16, 2025, and shared across its social media platforms, Gabriela condemned what it sees as a pervasive issue. The group argued that double-meaning jokes and sexist remarks made by male participants toward their female counterparts are being treated as normal entertainment. This, they assert, perpetuates harmful stereotypes and creates an uncomfortable environment.
Gabriela emphasized a crucial distinction in their critique: not all jokes are acceptable. They specifically highlighted humor that objectifies women, stating it has no place on a national television platform. The organization praised the courage of female housemates who voiced their discomfort, signaling a shift where women are increasingly unwilling to tolerate such behavior silently.
Housemate Speaks Out
A pivotal moment cited by Gabriela occurred in a recent episode. Housemate Krystal directly addressed the male contestants, stating clearly, 'That's all we want here, for you guys not to objectify us.' This on-camera confrontation brought the underlying tension to the forefront, providing a clear example of the dynamic Gabriela is challenging.
Call for Concrete Action
Moving beyond criticism, Gabriela has proposed a concrete solution to address the core issue. The women's party has urged the show's producers and network executives to implement mandatory gender-sensitivity seminars for all current and future housemates. They believe such training is essential to educate participants on respectful interaction and the impact of their words, fostering a healthier environment within the reality show's confines.
The call to action places the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the program's creators. Gabriela's statement implies that as content producers with a massive audience, they have a duty to ensure their platform does not normalize discrimination or harassment, even when framed as casual banter.
This incident has sparked renewed discussions online about the boundaries of comedy, accountability in entertainment, and the role of reality TV in shaping social norms in the Philippines.
