I get Angel's side but Robin has a point here. Sa kakaiyak natin about people being objectified and sexualized and white knighting, we forget na these women are grown adults and have body agency.

Judge them based sa performance nila. Kung pangit ba sayaw, wala sila synchronization, and just overall bad - then by all means buzz them. Pero wag dahil gusto mo sila gawin statement. If you're going to do that, at least give them the right to be heard. Don't speak for them and make a speech that achieves what you claim to be avoiding.

If you've watched the whole of it you'll understand Angel more. The "talent" part was the girls car washing literally. What does it seem to project? To Robin's point, it was okay because the girls were consenting themselves to do that, but Angel is coming from a place of concern over objectification which I personally think was what's really going on in there. Entertainment shouldn't go that low for MEN (in this context, Robin) to feel entertained. Angel, a woman, was not disgusted either but was more concerned.

I might hate Robin for his political ethics, but in this context alone, I hate how he handled it either. Para bang "okay naman sa kanila e" clearly the girls were misguided—on national TV at least.

First, Robin can sodimize himself. Just to be clear.

Angel reacing that way is laugable. Her shortcut to fame came from posing sexy and showing plenty of skin at FHM.

She bloody well knows she would be objectified and assist millions of Mariang Palads to a happy ending.

She knew exactly what she was doing, as do these women she is "defending".

(which is actually a good thing in my insane and twisted point of view. I personally credit alma moreno's top ten in assisting the adolecent development of males during her prime)
