Keanna is right: Mariposa is not a butterfly. It is actually a moth. I do not know what moth is in Tagalog.

I think Rustom's coming out story is scripted (by him). He beat around the bush for far too long. Naihi na tuloy si Keanna. OK talaga ang mga punchline ni Keanna--mala-KFC talaga. Seryoso na naging kakataw pa.

Nakuwento din niya sa mga HMs na binalak niyang umihi sa pink toilets ng MMDA. Kaya lang, kita raw ang mukha niya kaya di na niya itinuloy.

Yeah, I stand corrected. I found this post from the other forum.


Most of us may have laughed at Keanna when she said that it was a
moth (gamu-gamo) and not a butterfly (paru-paro) as Rustom insisted.

But hey, to my surprise, the lady knew what she was talking about!
It was in fact a moth. You could tell it from the body nang dumapo
sa binti ni Rustom.

Besides, when Keanna said, "May paru-paro ba sa gabi?", that made
sense, especially if we would recall iyong kwento ni Dr. Jose Rizal
(as Keanna has referred to) about the moths flying close to the
light until the fired ate them up. Why would Rizal be in front of a
lighted gas lamp if it wasn't dark?

Anyway, checking the website, i found out that the basic difference
between a moth and a butterfly is the time when these insects are
active. Butterflies fly during daytime, while moths are active at
night.

Now about Mariel being fed by the writers to call it mariposa is
also the same as saying it was a butterfly since mariposa is the
spanish word for butterfly.

Could it be he was just nervous and didn't know how to go about telling the world he's gay?

yeah, that's most likely the case here.  medyo nainis lang tayo sa pagkabitin...

[AshKetchum]

That talk was never broadcast on the live feed. The whole time that Rustom and Keanna were talking (which was around 3 am), the camera was firmly focused on Budoy sleeping in the boys' room.

Also late last night, I was watching the live feed, they were gathered and sitting on the garden floor (it was a task yata), he referred to that incident again, about "binugbog ako ng tatay ko" and while he continued the screen promptly blanked out to the PBBCE logo.  When the live feed resumed, someone else was talking.

ABS-CBN's editing is weird, as if naman we don't already suspect what he was going to confess...

I thought it was only our connection. just as rustom starts narrating, the screen went on standby and the live feed resumed when all the HMs were clapping after rustom's story. 

[SPaCeMaN SPiFF]

naninigurado lang siguro that people will still watch the primetime bida telecast. LOL.

Kind of defeats the purpose of having a "live" feed, huh?

Pretty annoying, but I honestly haven't turned on my live feed in over 2 weeks, anyway.

You're not excited about this season?

[Mr. Hankey]

Honestly? I watched the Opening. Haven't seen a single episode completely since then, and stopped recording it, as well. I got annoyed by all the crying I'd see every single time I'd catch a part of an episode. I felt it was actors hamming it up for the cameras and not strangers interacting a la REAL "Big Brother" franchises.

Which explains my absence on this thread this season when compared to last.

On a funny side note, I just got back from Boracay... and the hotel I stayed in actually had the 24 hour PBB live feed on cable. 

[indie boi]

You're right, there's a profusion of tears during this season! I can't help but think that they're also hamming it up. But the one good thing about this season is that these people don't seem to have as much mental strength. Two people have already broken down mentally, and two more are on the verge of it.

[kimpOy]

hahaha tamang tama ang yung mariposa dahil magiging mariposa na si rustom...

[dorian_gray]

Salamat kay inv99 sa pagsabing mariposa ay Spanish sa paru-paro. Hindi ko alam yun ah.

[Mr. Big Boy]

hahaha tamang tama ang yung mariposa dahil magiging mariposa na si rustom...

LMAO!

[jekoy]

"pinutol namin ang usapan kagabi uoang protektahan ang mga taong nabanggit ni rustom.."

talaga lang ah?!  kung gayun, ba't kailangan pang ulitin unmg buong usapan kagabi hanggang sa ikinaputol nila? ba't na lang ipinagpatuloy?!  asus! 

[Phobos]

I smell an MMK episode sometime in the future.

[DVD_Freak]

well it's official...

[nels76]

Yup.

Courageous Rustom. Di na niya siguro kayang itago.

[indie boi]

He gained my respect. That was such a brave thing to do... and on national television to boot!

[gearhead]

postings from another forum:

It's amazing how things turned out inside the pbb house this season. i was most impressed with the relationship that blossomed among rustom, john and keana. who would've thought that the 3 of them would end up as close as they are now.

rustom who is classy and filled with wisdom; keana who is tactless and crazy-funny; and john who is far younger in age compared to the other 2.

i think more than the entertainment they bring, they have become icons of some sort... not as individuals, but together as friends. hindi pala talaga imposible sa mundo ng showbiz ang ganitong friendship. ang ganda. mas maganda kasi nakikita mo mismo sa sarili mong mga mata. nakita ko kung pano nag-start at paano nagsa-subsist ngayon.

and now, this revelation from rustom to keana is really a testament. hindi madaling mag-reveal ng secret. and most of the time, the easiest way to bring it out is to tell it to a friend. sure, may cameras, but rustom could have just as easily told the entire household instead of confiding it first to one person.

rustom said to big brother, "gusto ko mag-open up kay keana. i trust her enough."

and now, i realize, kung hindi vina-value si keana ng mga taong dapat ay nagpapahalaga sa kanya, siguro ngayon namamatay na sila sa hiya.

what a lesson to us all.

i watch this show to be entertained; yet, i get more than what i bargained for... ang daming lessons na nakukuha pala from the most unlikely people.

wish ko na lang ngayon ay sana, yung na-gets kong lessons ay na-gets rin ng iba... because if not, rustom would have a hard time once he leaves the house. i don't think shunning him would be a fitting reward to a man who was brave enough to tell the world who he is.

Wow, saludo ako kay Rustom! Ako naiintindihan ko kung bakit sa TV nya ginawa yan. Unang-una, kilala sya ng mga tao dahil celebrity sya. Aware sya na pinagdududahan ang kanyang sexual orientation ng marami. So what better way to do it than on national television? And remember kay Keanna lang nya sinabi, nagkataon lang na may cameras, so nakatulong yun para masabi na nya ang matagal na nyang gustong aminin, sa publiko, sa pamilya at mga kaibigan nya, at syempre, sa sarili nya. For Rustom, I am sure it will be a liberating experience as well... to finally tell the people, "the whole world", who you truly are.

couldn't agree more.

[SPaCeMaN SPiFF]

He gained my respect. That was such a brave thing to do... and on national television to boot!

ditto. <... expecting a reaction from carmina in tomorrow's news. LOL.>

[jekoy]

i didn't like rustom when he entered the house however, i found new respect for him with this coming out.  let's try to understand his predicament.  being gay as it is is hard enough, what more if you belong in a family like his - madaming bruskong kapatid at may babaerong ama (na may traditional macho attitude).  besides, being physically hurt as a child with something you don't fully understand would scar one for life!  no wonder, it took him this long to come out. at least now, malinaw na ang lahat...

[nels76]

Same here.

I did not like rustom, keanna, and john pratts before. ngayon iba na tingin ko sa kanila.
They are starting to get my respoect.

Keanna is sometimes sensible magsalita and also...  magaling magpatawa.

Si John naman magaling makisama.

[dorian_gray]

Isn't Rustom the very first male showbiz personality to out himself?

For the female, it is Aiza, right?

[jekoy]

to openly come out on TV, yes...

pero marami-rami na ring nag-come out with friends and families. i'll share them here kaya lang baka may magalit.. hehehe...

[indie boi]

My wife and I both agree that Rustom's decision to out himself on national TV is a big boost to the gay movement in the country. My wife even cried when he said "mabuting tao ako."

I think Rustom has got a lot of guts for doing what he did. I take my hat off to him.

[dorian_gray]

Every coming out story is a big boost to the gay movement. It does not matter whether you are a celebrity or not. You need not be ashamed of what you are.

O dee vah!

[jekoy]

^
true! the thing is, rustom is one person who'd show the pinoys that "hey, gays come in all forms and sizes! they need not be stereotypical!"  now, if only P**** would do the same... hehehe...

[jekoy]

i guess, one of the hardest thing in coming out to pinoy families is that fact that pinoy often boxed gays into stereotypes.  however, stereotyped man o hindi, it won't matter. ika nga ni dorian gray, di dapat ikahiya! 

[munky]

Pogi points kay Rustom ito.  I think sya ang may pinakamataas na boto ngayon. 
Let's wait for the Padillas, GMA 7 and Carmina to react.

[pendrell]

Magandang Umaga Pilipinas this morning already showed the Padillas reaction to Rustom's coming out last night.  Mommy Eva Padilla said she wasn't even surprised about the revelation, but it's good to hear from her that the family will be always be behind Rustom... or something to that effect.  Mario Dumawal also got some reaction from Robin Padilla and said that the best thing to do now is support Rustom  to this "new journey he's about to take in his life."  He was also hats off to his brod for having the guts to come out on national TV .
