Ruben Gonzaga is PBB Celebrity Edition's Big Winner

For the past four PBB editions, this is the only time when I have placed a bet (literally) on somebody among the Big Four. I played against my sister who is watching the late night show of the BIG NIGHT with me. She keeps on telling me that Riza's going to win because she's the fairest among the Big four. But even if I love Riza (to the max) and wanted her to be the Big Winner, still I have felt deep within that Ruben Gonzaga's going to make it as this season's BIG WINNER! So much for beauty and style, it's  now time for the Bisayas and Comedians to reign and win the PBB crown!

Ruben Gonzaga's a Davaoeño like me, and I'm dead sure every Bisaya or Cebuano is so much proud of what he has become. He has proven that anybody is entitled to win such a huge competition no matter how he/she looks -- prestigious or not, and has proven that what's deep within matters over the superficial.

A few days ago, my mother was telling me that Ruben's really going to make it---and, he really did! I wonder if she had sent a vote or two just to support her bet. What's cool about Ruben Gonzaga? Unlike the other male "comedians" who became Kuya's housemates, he did not show any or at least haven't shown any obvious sign of womanizing inside the house. There were hot and pretty XXs who have gone in and out of Big Brother's house but he hasn't shown any sign of interest towards those ladies other than friendship. I know it has been hard for him to fit-in in a group full of "socialites", the famous, and just to add-- english and tagalog speaking individuals. He may have felt inferior in many instances, have tried really hard enough just to fit-in, but, everything's worth the try for he have captured each and every housemate's heart. He was even the most favorite housemate of the other housemates.

While inside the house of Big Brother, he has shown the perfect example of being a Filipino. How? He might have countless problems and things to be worried about before entering the house, not to mention leaving his family behind, but when he joined the show, he seemed to be just fine. He's laughing, making everybody else laugh, he jokes around, goofying, and getting so wacky even if he carries those little burdens with him plus the worries of fitting-in the group. Like most of the Filipinos, even we have so much problems, we still manage to smile, to cheer everyone up and act as if nothing's bothering us, yada, yada...and if encountered with small talks about family life and relationships, we get too emotional and sometimes cry over it, which is so Filipino. Then, after crying, we still manage to blurt out some stupid "hirits" and jokes then laugh out loud again. Ruben's like that, isn't he?

Also, among the other PBB seasons, this was the first time that somebody from Mars with XY genes have made it as the grand prix winner! Congratulations, Ruben Gonzaga! You truly are a true-blooded Pinoy! You truly are a pure-blooded Davaoeño!
