Charles Teves
ABS-CBN’s “Pinoy Big Brother” is on its ninth season and so far the auditions have drawn in over 37,000 submissions.
Pinoy Big Brother: Connect will be the first season of the reality show since the media giant’s shutdown.
The thousands who auditioned however caused #YesToABSCBNShutdown to trend once again, but this time for a different reason.
One guy named Charlie Drin from Gamu, Isabela, was qualified to audition and went on social media to ask for more support.
However, netizens looked at this Facebook account and saw that Drin supported ABS-CBN’s franchise denial.
Kapamilya supporters immediately burned the PBB aspirant, telling ABS-CBN to screen auditionees in case they were in support of the shutdown or are huge fans of ABS-CBN’s rival, GMA Network.
Nikki Valdez thinks that Charlie won’t be making it far in his journey to “Kuya’s house” now that he has been exposed on social media.
Pagkatapos magviral nito, pakiramdam ko magbabago na isip ni Kuya papasukin ka sa bahay niya. https://t.co/zHnZyn7khx

Valdez joked that Charlie should ask for help from the 70 congressmen who voted yes to deny ABS-CBN a 25-year franchise.

DJ Chacha just found the whole thing funny.
Pakicheck po maigi ang wall ng auditionees baka may makapasok diyan na #YesToABSCBNShutDown 😂 Sa bahay ni Lola ipasok mga yooon! https://t.co/P5HP0kIw08

Journalist Kevin Manalo seriously wants PBB to filter out those who were in favor of the shutdown, as well as those who have ties to the 70 congressmen because these people don’t deserve to step inside Kuya’s house.
Dear PBB Team, please scrutinize your applicants carefully. May mga naki-ride dyan sa call for shutdown at supporters/kamag-anak/kaibigan ng mga congressman na pumatay sa franchise application. Kindly give the slots to more deserving people:) https://t.co/boKxNW7noN

One asked how many of the auditionees lean towards being a Kapuso than a Kapamilya.
Ilan kaya dito yung Kapuso? https://t.co/O0DgsEaW9M

Kuya sana isa sa mga requirements mo yung di nag post ng yes to shutdown at kumuda ng sobra sobra laban sa abs-cbn para slash agad sila. @PBBabscbn https://t.co/TB4x6STzU1

Maybe Charlie should enter the House of Representatives, a netizen joked.
Sa House of Representative ka pumasok wag sa Bahay Ni Kuya. Andon ang mga kapanalig mo. Charot! pic.twitter.com/UPVKBqqLv1
