MANILA — Justin Dizon has apologized for an insensitive comment about his fellow “Pinoy Big Brother” (PBB) housemate Jie-Ann Armero not taking a bath.
Justin was heavily criticized online for his actions clipped from the livestream of the ongoing season, when he used a towel Jie-Ann had wrapped around her head to wipe his hands. He also laughed when Jie-Ann said that she didn’t mind his rudeness, and then joked: “Sabagay, marumi ka nga pala.”

In a video uploaded by the reality show this Friday, Justin was seen apologizing to Jie-Ann, who had explained that the reason she does not take baths daily was out of habit, having grown up where water supply was scarce.

Admitting that he lacked understanding of Jie-Ann’s background, Justin told her: “If ever you felt offended with those jokes I want to say sorry for them kasi ‘yun nga I forgot to realize na iba tayo [ng environment na kinalakihan].”
