Inside the Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 house, the noise faded for a moment.
In its place came silence, focus, and understanding.
The housemates were introduced to basic sign language in a heartfelt learning session centered on deaf awareness and inclusive communication—a lesson that went beyond words.
On Friday’s episode, Rack Corpuz and GP Palma of the Kakamay Movement entered the house, bringing with them powerful stories and an important message: communication is a right, not a privilege.
Rack, who is deaf, shared her journey with honesty and quiet strength. She revealed that she was born with normal hearing, but lost it at the age of seven after suffering from a severe fever and sore throat with yellowish ulcers. Later, she explained, her hearing loss worsened due to the high dosage of antibiotics she was given at the time.
Beside her was GP, serving as her interpreter—bridging the gap between sound and silence.
Through the Kakamay Movement, Rack said their mission is clear: to uplift the deaf community in every possible way.
“Gumagawa kami ng paraan para maiangat ang mga deaf sa lahat ng aspect ng buhay,” she shared.
From education, to opportunities, to the right to use sign language freely.
GP echoed the same call, stressing how deeply communication barriers affect the deaf.
“Ang goal namin ay awareness, pagbabago, at equality,” he said.
Understanding, he added, is the first step toward real inclusion.
Then came the hands-on moment.
Rack patiently taught the housemates how to sign simple but meaningful greetings—“hello,” “good morning,” “good afternoon,” and “good evening.” She also showed them how to sign numbers, giving them their first real experience speaking without sound.
Hands moved carefully.
Eyes stayed locked.
Learning turned into connection.
It was a quiet scene—but a powerful one.
Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 airs on GMA Network weeknights at 9:40 p.m., and weekends at 6:15 p.m.
The much-awaited Big Night is set for February 28.
Sometimes, the most meaningful conversations don’t need a voice—just open hands and an open heart.
