PBB posing nude task, 'commodification' of women - Gabriela

MANILA, Philippines - Women's rights group Gabriela said on Wednesday that the posing nude challenge to female contestants of a local reality show of a TV network is "unforgivable", saying it is a "commodification" of women.

"Para sa Gabriela, ang 'pagpilit' sa babae na lumahok sa isang nude portrait session ay hindi katanggap-tanggap. Subalit ang 'pagpilit' sa kanila na mag-pose para sa nude protrait sa harap ng libu-libong manonood ng Pinoy Big Brother (PBB), ay walang kapatawaran.

"Ito ay commodification ng kababaihan o pagtrato sa babae bilang kalakal na ibinebenta – dahil ang tunay na layon naman nito ay tumabo sa viewership at tumiba sa mga sponsors ang programa," the group said in a statement.

The group lauded the decision of 'PBB housemates' Jayme Jalandoni and Michelle Gumabao to decline  the show's challenge.

Gabriela also called on the PBB production to apologize for the emotional and psychological stress the challenge caused the two  women.

"Sa kabilang banda, hinihiling ng Gabriela ang paghingi ng paumanhin ng mga nasa likod ng PBB hindi lamang sa mga manonood kundi mismo sa dalawang babaeng nilagay nila sa emotional at psychological stress. Hinihikayat namin ang PBB na maging maingat sa mga pakulo nito at siguruhin ang pag-respeto sa karapatan ng kababaihan," the group said.
