Thanks to Linda’s decision, our hottie Kevin Flood is safe from a possible eviction this Sunday. De La Salle Cutie Josef Elizalde, who also voluteered to exit the house for the sake of his Tita Anna, is likewise safe.

Thank goodness!

UPDATE: VOTING HAS BEEN CANCELED TODAY, APRIL 16, 2008 DUE TO A TEEN HOUSEMATE’S VOLUNTARY EXIT.

It’s that time of the season again! In our tradition of Save the Hottie, Save the World campaigns on the Pinoy Big Brother show on ABS-CBN, we are once again calling on everyone to save another hottie. At one point or another, we have saved Kian Kazemi, Victor Basa, Jon Mullaly aka Jon Avila, and Will Devaughn.

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus housemate Alex Anselmuccio will get his uncut schlong cut today.  The Italianong Valentino, who decided to get a circumcision while inside the big yellow house, will be joined by 100 boys aged 10 to 18, who will also undergo the procedure for free!

In a recent episode of the show (video here), it was revealed that one of the housemates was uncut. For many viewers (and probably some of the housemates), this comes as a shock since most Filipinos are cut. When Big Brother asked Alex why he was uncut, the young man replied that he didn’t know. Big Brother then volunteered the information by telling Alex that perhaps it is not “uso” in Italy. (Studies show that circumcision is indeed uncommon in Europe).

In this society, a boy who is supot (or pisot in Cebuano) becomes the butt of jokes among his peers. I’ve been there before – both as the butt of jokes, and the bully who makes the supot boys cry. Growing up, I had this notion that an uncut boy (or man) is not man enough nor will he grow up to be a real man.
