IS ROBI REALLY PLAYING SAFE?

Just like Rona, Robi was also branded as playing safe. Is it because being good is really their real character? If indeed Robi’s attitude inside the Big Brother house is untrue or plastic, then why has he managed to remain calm, responsible, prudent and sensitive to the feelings of others despite all the challenges that were aimed to test their characters? I thought that people cannot just believe that Robi is really good that’s why he was branded as “too good to be true”.


Do good people no longer have space in the society?
Do we need to brand people as plastic if we see that they are good?
Is “pagiging totoo sa sarili” always have to be bad?
Is being good not accepted anymore?
Does being true mean you should be bashful and ill-mannered?


WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
WHO ARE REALLY GOOD IN EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO.
WE DON’T HAVE TO BRAND & JUDGE THEM,
WE JUST HAVE TO BE GOOD OURSELVES

I don't think Robi is playing safe. Wala kang magawa kung ang ugali niya talaga ay ganun, magalang at hindi mapang-husga,at confident sa sarili. Nakikita naman na lahat ng binigay sa kanya na task either group or single ay pinagbubuti niya, and Im very proud of him, sa edad na na 17 yrs. old iba na siya mag-isip sana lahat ng kabataan ay tularan siya, siya rin ang nagpapakita na hindi lahat ng maykaya sa buhay ay dapat umasta na parang hari. Marunong siya makibagay sa katulad niya o sa mas mababa sa kanya. So Go, Robi...

Robi has what it takes to be the winner and he has proven many times how patient ( even the housemates agree ) he has been and this only shows he is educated and well brought up ..someone who is this way should be a role model for the youth .. someone who shows compassion and strength even through his weakest moments ..
