MANILA, Philippines – Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Connect housemate Justin Dizon quickly became a trending topic on Thursday, December 17, after he was caught making a snide remark towards a fellow housemate.

Jie-Ann just got out of the bath with a towel wrapped around her hair. Justin, who has just finished washing his hands, called Jie-Ann and wiped his hands on her towel.
Jie-Ann brushed aside the act and said, "Wala akong pakialam, sanay na ako sa ganyan." Justin made a face and remarked, "Really? Sabagay, marumi ka nga pala.”
In the interview of Jie-Ann, she explained why she is not used to taking regular baths. The housemate from Sarangani, shared with Big Brother that their town suffers from water shortage. To be able for them to have clean water, they have to purchase it for P12 per container. Since their family only has three containers and because it is costly, Jie-Ann has no choice but to skip baths to save water.
Justin's remark didn't sit well with netizens online who called him for being rude and arrogant.
The discussion also turned into a social issue as netizens called out government officials for not providing basic needs such as enough water for places like Jie-Ann's hometown.
Gigi Esguerra, a strong voice of the LGBT community also recalled how Justin also made offending remarks.
Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Connect opened its doors for Filipino dreamers on December 6 for the ninth main season of the reality show.

a lesson for everyone that privatization of basic commodities shud also be criticized lalo na sa mga rural areas kasi may ganito syang impact sa kanila https://t.co/O66KDFD3sb

this entire Justin Dizon issue reminds of the time he was educating an audience about the diversity of SOGIE. And when he got to the topic of asexuality, he introduced it by saying “so ito nga po ang tinatawag na halaman ika nga” pic.twitter.com/Jt0y6JI2Ti
