If Ethan ever gets to read all the hate and bullying directed at him right now, I hope he knows that one mistake does not make him a bad person, and that he is still capable of becoming better than the person people are trying to paint him as.
Ethan, I hope you take accountability for what you did and learn from it. What you did was wrong, and there’s no need to sugarcoat that. Your actions were misogynistic, even if peer pressure played a part in them. But making a mistake doesn’t mean you’re beyond redemption. A genuinely good person is not someone who never makes mistakes, but someone who is willing to acknowledge them, learn, grow, and do better.
Remember, Jesus never taught us that people should be defined forever by their worst moments. Even His own disciples were flawed. Peter denied Him, Thomas doubted Him, and yet Jesus never stopped guiding them. He saw what they could become, not just who they were in their weakest moments.
So don’t let the cruelty of others define your worth. Listen to constructive criticism, take responsibility, and let this experience make you a better man. You are allowed to grow beyond your mistakes. Grace doesn’t mean escaping accountability; it means being given the opportunity to change.
I hope you choose growth over bitterness, humility over defensiveness, and kindness over everything else. God bless you, Ethan. ❤️

Yes, Ethan clearly gets kilig whenever the boys tease him, especially when Kuya played Cianne and Gehlee’s “You and I” song and they started teasing him about Gehlee. But honestly, isn’t that a pretty normal thing among groups of boys? Kapag may tropa tayo na may crush, aasarin talaga natin yan, lalo na kapag may opportunity silang iconnect yung song sa taong gusto niya. It’s ordinary friendly banter, and Ethan is simply playing along and enjoying the moment. Why are you acting as if his every reaction is some groundbreaking offense worthy of character assassination? I’ve seen the comments, and honestly, if I were Ethan’s mother or family, I’d be heartbroken reading how cruel people are being toward him. l
Also, Ethan is nominated, and naturally, he’s going to want to fit in and get along with the boys. Makikisama sa biruan, tatawa, at sasabay sa asaran. That’s a normal social response, not some calculated attempt to disrespect Gehlee.
He may genuinely have a crush on Gehlee, but there’s a clear distinction between having feelings for someone and acting entitled to their attention. Ethan hasn’t forced himself on Gehlee, insisted that she reciprocate his feelings, or deliberately made her uncomfortable. Enjoying his friends’ teasing doesn’t automatically make him disrespectful toward her.
And YES, I strongly disagree with and condemn the misogynistic remarks made by the boys. Those comments deserve criticism, and I’m not excusing them. But we also need to distinguish problematic remarks from the ordinary dynamics of a group of boys teasing their frienf about his crush.
You cant expect people to stop having normal social interactions just because they’re being filmed. We can acknowledge problematic behavior without scrutinizing every reaction, laugh, or moment of kilig. Hold him accountable for what he actually did, not for simply enjoying a harmless moment of teasing.

Grabe, ang hands-on ni Ethan as a task leader!
"Sarap ulam mamaya, trust..."
"Pain is just an illusion, guys. Kaya 'yan!"
"Time is just an illusion..."
"Walang tatawa, please. Focus lang. Mamaya na yung biro."
