'PBB' housemate Justin Dizon apologizes to Jie-Ann Armero


Days after making headlines for bad behavior mostly directed towards fellow "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate Jie Ann Armero, Justin Dizon finally apologized, asking for forgiveness.

Justin admitted he was wrong to bully Jie Ann.

"I really lacked understanding also na we don't live in the same house. So if ever you feel offended, for like, for those jokes, I wanna say sorry for that kasi nga, 'yun, I forgot, like realize na iba tayo (ng environment na kinalakihan)," he said. 

"I wanna say sorry if... for saying those jokes to you because they're, like, insensitive. Hindi ko naisip, initially, like, your background and my background -- how different they are," he added.

Justin then promised to do his best to be more "sensitive."

Jie Ann, on her part shared, "Hindi naman ako nasasaktan sa mga joke mo."

Big Brother lectured the housemates about the incident.

"Pinagsama-sama ko kayo dito sa aking bahay na may iba't-ibang pinanggalingang kultura, antas sa pamumuhay, ugaling kinagisnan, at mga pang-araw-araw na pinagdaraanan. Sa nangyaring ito, hangad ko hindi lang mas makilala pa ninyo ang isa't-isa kung hindi ang igalang niyo rin ang pagkaka-iba ng bawat isa at matutong rumespeto at umunawa dahil kayo ay magkakaiba ng pinagdaraanan."
