Aside from the #JeoLee ganap in the Abangan Bukas teaser, I’m actually glad that PBB is airing the hand-kissing situation between Gehlee and Calix. I genuinely WANT them to air it, not to put anyone in a bad light, but because it’s a perfect opportunity to EMPHASIZE THAT NOT EVERYONE IS COMFORTABLE WITH PHYSICAL TOUCH OR GESTURES, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT CONSENT. I think it’s high time for PBB to use its platform to advocate respecting personal boundaries, even when those boundaries haven’t been explicitly communicated. Because here’s the thing: Someone shouldn’t have to verbally express discomfort before we start respecting their personal space. We should normalize being mindful of other people’s comfort levels instead of assuming that a gesture is welcome simply because our intentions are harmless or affectionate. And before anyone dismisses this as me being biased because I like Gehlee, THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION. We often assume that men or gay people are naturally comfortable with physical affection. But there are men and gay people who don’t appreciate being touched without permission, just as there are women who feel the same way. And ALL of those preferences are valid. Also, let’s stop confusing good intentions with automatic permission. You can mean absolutely no harm and still unintentionally cross someone’s boundaries. Both things can be true. This isn’t about villainizing Calix. It’s about recognizing that situations like these can open meaningful conversations about consent, respect, and personal space. PBB has a platform that influences younger audiences, and I hope they use moments like this to reinforce an important lesson: Just because you think a gesture is sweet doesn’t automatically mean the person receiving it feels the same way. And the absence of a NO doesn’t automatically mean YES. At the end of the day, it all boils down to PERSONAL SPACE, CONSENT, AND INDIVIDUAL PREFERENCE. 🤷‍♀️ A little awareness and consideration go a long way. 🤷‍♀️ #PBBCollab3pointO #PBBCollabBoysIssue

I’m so sad for this young girl. 🥹 Preface ko lang na I’m already married. But in my teenage years, I can deal with men just fine—friends or more. I’m not sensitive to physical touch or gestures as long as alam ko at feel ko na walang malice. I can easily just shrug something done without my permission as long as kaya ko itolerate yung ginawa. However, I have never imposed how I deal with boys/men on others and I make it a point to stand on the girlie’s side when I notice she’s uncomfortable esp pagdating na sa touchy touchy subject. I know regular people who are very much reserved. Kahit holding hands lang, kahit hawak sa damit or skin, it can make them very uncomfy to the point gusto na nila umiyak. And it’s not being OA, it’s just how they are. Kaya banas ako when they made fun of that specific moment. When you’re in a relationship or have been engaging with boys/men in whatever capacity, you tend to view things differently. You’re prone to forgetting HINDI LAHAT NA-EXPOSED NA SA KUNG ANONG NA-EXPOSED KA NA. And you know, mag-blind2 pa ba tayo how Gehlee is honed by Korean culture when it comes to protecting her image as a professional artist? Ok, sabihin na natin baka initial reaction lang nila yun kasi nga “it’s acting” lang naman. I’m willing to give those people the benefit of the doubt. But I’m gonna throw punches talaga if di na naman nila i-eere pagiging uncomfy ni Gehlee sa ginawa na ‘to ni Calix. My girlie deserved an apology from the man and PBB should use this situation to advocate for respecting one’s boundaries! #PbbCollan3point0 #freegehlee #GEHLEE
