ABS-CBN has launched the long awaited premier of Pinoy Big Brother last August 23. Twelve people are locked up inside the Big Brother House for the next 100 days. As soon as they entered the house they lose their right of privacy; cameras are installed 24/7; they are obliged to wear their radio-mics at all times except when they are asleep or are in the shower or swimming pool.
Here is my personal opinion about this:
As a Catholic country, I suppose these young contestants are Catholic or atleast most of them. I am concerned about the obligation of these young people, if they happen to be Catholic, how could they attend Sunday Masses. It is good that Pinoy Big Brother will provide a doctor, nurse or dentist and psychologist when neccessary, but it didn't appear to me that there will be a priest who will come regularly to nourish the spiritual needs of the Housemates. (I am not trying to be funny here).
Secondly I am afraid that ABS-CBN's Filipino version of Big Brother would turn out instead another scandalous "Big Brothel House" as what had been reportedly seen in Big Brother houses in UK, America and Australia.
It's okay to copy what is "in" (eg. reality tv) from Western countries for the sake of entertainment as long as the moral integrity, modesty and Christian values particularly of our young Filipino people are dutifully preserved.

Kuya Michael! Diyata?!? Happy to hear that Pinoy Big Brother is making a fantastic world record-- hearing Mass on TV! How many more days left? Nag-aaway na daw sila according to ate Marsha. I can’t wait to watch the tape this coming Sunday. :)
