‘PBB’ Alum Lie Reposposa Shares Struggles of Being Family's Breadwinner

Former "Pinoy Big Brother" contestant Lie Reposposa expressed her annoyance at being the family's primary provider and receiving criticism for not granting their requests, even though a friend had advised her to.

“Gusto namin ipaalam, magbubukas na ulit ang ‘Bahay Ni Kuya,’ he said referring to the show’s moniker. “The ‘PBB’ house will be open this June and sa loob ng isang-daang araw, meron tayong bagong batch of housemates. We will be scouting and having auditions.”

“Ang masakit pa para sa akin, tinulungan ko naman sila pero pag hindi ko nabigay ang gusto nila nagiging masama na ako. Kasalanan ko pa, sariling mama ko pa mag chichismis sakin sa mga kumare niya syempre nasasaktan din ako,” she said.

In addition, the ex-PBB roommate said that she had already agreed to her family's desire to purchase a farm, that she was also paying the water and electricity bills, and that she would be prepared to cover any extra costs as well.

“Binilhan ko sila ng farm this year dahil yan yong laging request nila sa akin. Yong kuryente at tubig ako na ang nagbabayad niyan lahat pero nagsinungaling sila sa akin. Yong pera na binigay ko na budget para sa kuryente at tubig in total of 12k hindi napunta dun yong pera kaya nag double ang bills, pero sino nag bayad? Ako pa rin,” she said.

After taking part in "Pinoy Big Brother: Otso" in November 2018, Reposposa said she wanted to talk to her family about her problems and prevent gossip by letting them know her side of the story. She conveyed her hurt and her optimism that things will work out. In addition, Reposposa said that she wants her family to understand that she is dealing with personal issues.
