raheel: avoidant ka ba? you need space ‘e
calix: nagseselos ka ata ‘e
ethan: [nakatingin kay raheel sa tabi niya]
raheel: [may sinasabi pa kay ethan]
ethan: of course [nakatingin pa rin kay raheel]

i can’t believe we need to transcribe like this kasi simpleng usapan nalang hindi pa ma-fact check 😂 raheel was talking to ethan, ethan was looking at raheel, and ethan's response was directed at the person he was actually looking at and interacting with. bungol ‘yan si ethan pero kami hindi bungol kaya please jusko tigilan niyo na ‘tong pagpapakalat niyo ng fake news para sa clout. wala na ba talagang nagppractice ng basic discernment and critical thinking skills sa panahon ngayon?

Please, let’s not twist the narrative or take things out of context. Ethan was talking to Raheel, not responding to Calix. The boys’ conversations were overlapping, and if you listen carefully, Ethan was answering something Raheel had said earlier.

This is the real #EthanBenares behind the camera. I hope more people appreciate how genuine and kind he is. He may not be perfect but he's also not the evil person that you paint him to be.

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.

But isn't that also assuming na Ethan saw those jokes the same way you did? 😅 Yes, he had the choice to shut down the banter, but he also had the choice to simply take it for what it appeared to be in that environment: PLAYFUL TEASING AMONG FRIENDS. His "star player" remark could just as easily be understood as him playing along with their running joke, NOT an ACTUAL DECLARATION na he sees Gehlee as some kind of prize or someone he's competing with the other boys for. We CAN'T AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGN a sinister meaning to every WITTY RESPONSE.

And about Gehlee not deserving that kind of friend, what EXACTLY has Ethan done to establish na he's treating her badly? HAVE WE ACTUALLY SEEN HIM PRESSURE HER, DEMAND RECIPROCATION, or MAKE HER UNCOMFORTABLE? Wala naman, diba? Kasi kung susuriin natin, napaka-NATURAL lang ng FLOW ng interactions nila. Wala rin namang ipinakitang discomfort si Gehlee or attempts to distance herself from Ethan, which would be worth considering if he were actually being pushy or forcing his way into her space.

In fact, what we've been seeing lately is the OPPOSITE. Mas nagiging comfortable na si Gehlee kay Ethan. Mas siya na rin ang nag-iinitiate ng conversations, lumalapit at tumatabi sa kanya, and even the spoon-feeding moment. Of course, these actions alone don't define the entirety of their relationship, but they do show a level of COMFORT and FAMILIARITY between them. And that's exactly why WE SHOULD DISTINGUISH Ethan's ACTUAL BEHAVIOR toward Gehlee from the ASSUMPTIONS people attach to his participation in the boys' banter. There's a DIFFERENCE between PLAYING ALONG with a joke and actually ACTING ON whatever intentions other people ASSUME he has.

Also, when I say BFF, I'm describing the DYNAMIC and COMFORT I observe between them, NOT CLAIMING they've officially declared themselves best friends after three weeks. 😂
You don't necessarily need years of knowing someone to establish a GENUINE CONNECTION. Friendship develops at different paces, especially when people are living together and constantly interacting. It's not always about how long you've known someone, but also about how naturally you build that familiarity and comfort with each other.

You can dislike the ship or find certain jokes unnecessary, that's your prerogative. But let's not confuse our interpretation of those jokes with Ethan's actual treatment of Gehlee. Those are two different things. Criticizing the context of a joke is one thing; using it to invalidate an entire friendship or condemn someone's character based on assumptions is another.

At the end of the day, I'm appreciating #ThanLee for the genuine friendship and comfort they naturally share. Anything beyond that is just a bonus. Hindi kailangang gawing competition ang connection nila, much less turn Ethan into a villain just to invalidate it. ♡
