In the press conference for the Big Night of Pinoy Big Brother: Connect, 4th Big Placer, Jie-Ann Armero said she feels happy that her story helped address the water shortage in Malapatan.
Jie-Ann said she regrets not speaking up more during her stay at the PBB House.
“Siguro ‘yung hindi ko pag-speak up in public. ‘Yung hindi ako nagbibigay ng suggestions kasi parang ‘yun ‘yung naging kahinaan ko and ‘yun ‘yung pinagsisihan ko na sana ginawa ko na lang,” said Jie-Ann.
However, Jie-Ann felt happy knowing that her story helped to make a change in their community. She also recounted her experience of water shortage which influenced her bathing habits.
“Super saya ko po na nalaman ko po ngayon. Kasi ‘yun po talaga ‘yung problema namin, ‘yung wala po kaming tubig doon, kahit minsan di po kami nakakaligo. Pero, ‘yun po, ang saya ko po ‘nung nalaman ko kasi matutugunan na po ‘yung problema ng probinsya po namin magkakaroon na po ng maayos na tubig po ‘yung Malapatan po,” said Jie-Ann.
Earlier, Jie-Ann revealed that her community in Malapatan, Saranggani experiences water shortage after her fellow housemates asked about her bathing habits.
Now, Jie-Ann hails as one of the Big Four for the latest season of ABS-CBN’s beloved reality TV show, PBB: Connect. The Kwelang Fan Girl of Sarangani got 2.66% of votes resulting in her Big 4th Placer finish in PBB: Connect’s Big Night on March 14, 2021.
