It all started with a negligible conversation of Panky and Iya regarding the "change" in Davey's behavior. Yumabang na raw. Then, it suddenly exploded. Thanks to the producers of PDA (they replayed the conversation with everyone listening).
These kids really don't have a clue. I was thinking early this week when I learned about it on 24/7 what would the Global Dreamers think.
Probably, an immature pointless conflict. Irish said it perfectly: "Everybody talks shit about everybody. It doesn't mean that when someone hates something you, s/he hates the whole of you." Perfect.
As Irish puts it, "I said this because!" When you said something, you said it! Period Final. Deal. Stick with it.
I really hate how we, Filipinos, handle this kind of things. First, we don't want to hear something bad about us. Second, we hate to admit to other people bad things about them. Third, but, we so love to tell these things to people other than the person we're talking about.
I commend PDA for revealing this to the public. I find it brave to even replay the conversations (but they did it before with PBB). This is an eye-opener to us Filipinos. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from this. One, we must think and think and think before talking, on-cam or not. Next, we should not feel bad of criticisms. People just mirror what they see on us, and we should accept it. And if there's a way to change that, work for it, or you can opt not.
I just wish that the producers will find a good resolution to these happenings. What can you say? Sino ang may kasalanan?

G Em C D Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema G Em C Minsan nahihirapan ka at masasabing D "di ko na kaya" Am Bm Tumingin ka lang sa langit C D Baka sakaling may masumpungan Am Bm Di kaya ako'y tawagin C D Malalaman mong kahit kailan
Chorus: G Hawak-kamay Em C9 Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay D Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan G Hawak-kamay Em C9 Di kita iiwan sa paglalakbay D Sa mundo ng kawalan
(Repeat Chords) Minsan madarama mo Ang mundo'y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa At ang agos ng problema'y tinatangay ka Tumingin ka lang sa langit Baka sakaling may masumpangan Di kaya ako'y tawagin Malalaman mong kahit kailan
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Wag mong sabihin nagiisa ka Laging isipin meron kang kasama Narito ako oh,Narito ako...
(Rpeat Chorus)
Sa mundo ng kawalan Hawak-kamay,hawak-kamay Sa mundo ng kawalan
Geoff is the 3rd to go out of the Academy (next to gemma and Jun); but the 2nd to be expelled.
Last night, Yvan, Rosita, Chai and him were the ones on probation and were nominated for expulsion. Yvan was saved by the texters by garnering 29.47% of the votes. For the 2nd time, Rosita was saved by their teachers beacuse of her exemplary cover of Aegis' Ang Halik Mo. The fate of Chai and Geoff rested on the verdict of their fellow scholars. Chai got the highest number of votes; thus, Geoff was expelled.
However, early last night, Geoff got praises from the jurors because of his version of “Ako’y Sa’yo at Ika’y Akin Lamang”. According to juror Kitchy Molina, Geoff gave a “very good performance” and the song suited him and his voice very well.
