THE CASE of Gretchen Diez hgas beeen sensationalized…
Beauty czar Ricky Reyes said…
“Ako, this year, lahat ng LGBT, nilikom ko silang lahat. Sabi ko, tigilan ninyo ang kabaklaan. Huwag na kayong magbistida sa kalye kasi lalo lang tayong pagtatawanan ng tao. Okay?
“Dapat tumulong tayo sa kapwa para mahalin tayo ng mga tao. At lagi kong sinasabi, ang bakla, walang ibang makakaintindi kundi bakla lang talaga.
“Kahit sarili nilang nanay, kahit sarili nilang tatay, sasabihin, ‘A, mahal ka namin anak naiintindihan ka namin…’ Shit!
“Mahuli ka ng tatay mo kumu-kokak ka, sipain ka pa ng tatay mo, ‘Day! Di ba? Pero ang bakla, mahuli ka ng bakla na kumu-kokak ka, ‘Hoy, bakla, share ako, ha. Akin na ang number,’ di ba? Nagkakaintindihan. Walang makakaintindi sa bakla kundi bakla lang.
“At ang affair ng mga bakla, dapat sa atin lang ‘yan. Huwag nating ipangalandakan sa tao. Bakit kailangan kong ipangalandakan sa madlang pipol, ‘Uy, intindihin mo nga ako, bakla ako.’ Teka muna.
Being a gay icon in the community, what does Ricky Reyes have to say?
“Kung ikaw ay may nota, sa lalaki ka. Pag may kipay ka, sa babae ka. Finish. Yun lang yun. “Nirerespeto kita bilang tao. Nirerespeto kita bilang bading. Pero lumugar tayo sa tamang lugar, di ba?
“Kung ikaw, babaeng-babae at hindi na mabubuking, e, di lumusot ka kung makakalusot ka. Pero kung hindi ka makakalusot, anong problema mo?”
In the same way that transman Jake Zyrus still enters the women’s comfort room.
“Yeah, di ba? Kung may kipay ka, girl ka. Kung may nota ka, hombre ka. Ganoon lang.
“Kung nagpaopera ka… kaso nga, ang bakla kahit operada na, kahit may kipay na, maski may boobs na, bakla pa rin ang utak, ‘Day.
“Saan ka nakakita, ‘Oy, may kipay na ako, o.’ ‘Uy, may boobs na ako.’ May babeae bang ganoon? Wala namang babaeng ganyan, di ba?”
“Dyusko! Lumugar lang sa tamang lugar, di ba? Doon lang tayo, kasi meron naman tayong gay community.
“Bakit natin kailangan ng kung anu-ano, e, may gay pageant naman tayo? Bakit tayo pupunta sa mga lugar na pagpipilitan mo na girl ka, e, may bar naman para sa mga bading, di ba?
“Doon ka sa lugar natin. Bakit kailangan mong makipagsiksikan?”
Mother Ricky also said his piece regarding the SOGIE Bill of anti Discrimination Bill.
“Let it be na lang. Basta ang bakla, e, bakla maski ano ang gawin niyan…
“Ang bakla, gilingin ko man ‘yan, ang labas niyan, baklang hamburger!”
In the same way, mother Rick speaks of the “Ang kasal ay para lamang sa babae at lalaki.”
“E, merong kasabihan sa Catholicism na sacrilege. Pambabastos sa relihiyon, huwag na.
“Ang pagpapakasal ay ibigay na natin sa babae at lalaki, di ba?
“Saka kung gusto ninyo ng union, e, di mag-union kayo.”
“Bakit ako, I’m in a relationship for 40-plus years, but we never go out of our way, ‘Ay, kailangan naming magpakasal.’ No more.
“May kasabihan tayo, you never, never rock the boat if it is not broken.
“Pag maayos siya, go lang, di ba?
“So, bakit kailangang ipagsaksakan kung di naman magulo?
“E, pinagugulo mo lang ang mundo, di ba?”
Mother Ricky may be very sentimental probably because he’s been together with his live-in partner Cris Aquino for 40 years.
Has they ever talked about marriage?
“Never. We have children. We have grown-up children. And they are good children.
“But we never talk about marriage, never.
“Sabi nga, you never rock the boat if it is not broken.”
Mother Ricky has his children, was there a time when his kids asked about his relations with his partner?
We have never talked to our children about our relationship.
“We have never talked to our children regarding who they are, what they are.
“What we give them is love.
“Ang mga bata—ke adopted ‘yan o tunay mong anak ‘yan—magrerebelde ang bata kapag walang nakitang pagmamahal sa loob ng bahay.
“Pag ang bahay punung-puno ng pagmamahal at respeto, hindi ‘yan pupunta sa labas at magtatanong, ‘Bakit ganito, bakit ganoon,’ Di ba?
“Ang mga anak namin, lumaki ‘yan, for forty years, they have never witnessed us quarrel, not even once.
“Hindi sila nakakita na nag-away kami in front of my children.”
Was he ever faithful to Cris?
“I am very faithful.”

K BROSAS defended the results of “Tawag ng Tanghalan” (TNT) Ultimate Resbak this Tuesday, September 11, 2019.
Many netizens reacted and aired their dissatisfaction over the elimination of Mariane Osabel of Mindanao.
For this reason, Mariane trended on Twitter Philippines.
Marian was beaten by fellow contestant Mariko Ledesma from Luzon in the Ultimate Resback edition of the singing contest aired on It’s Showtime, ABS-CBN’s noontime show.
Ultimate Resbak is a special edition of TNT where past winners, who didn’t accumulate enough wins to advance to the grand finals, get another chance to outdo each other.
In the end, whoever triumphs in the Ultimate Resbak will advance to the grand finals of TNT this season.
Many netizens took to Twitter to post demeaning tweets about the hurados, calling them unfair for the score that they gave Mariane.
Louie Ocampo served as punong hurado while the other judges were Karylle, Dulce, Jaya, and K Brosas.
Mariane sang her version of “Run To You” by Whitney Houston, while Mariko performed the upbeat song “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones.
In the end, it was Mariko who triumphed in the faceoff round. Mariko, a transgender woman, garnered 83.7% while Mariane got 66.50%.
Their scores are the combined text votes and the judges’s scores.
Scores from text votes and the judges were also fl ashed on screen.
Based on text votes, Mariane got 50%, while Mariko only got 33.74%.
Meanwhile, based on the judges’s votes, Mariko got 50%, while Mariane only got 16.50%.
It’s the 16.50% score of Mariane from the judges that disappointed netizens.
Many of them questioned the score, saying it was too low, given Mariane’s range as a singer.
K Brosas, who was one of the judges, responded via Twitter.
In her first tweet, the singer-comedienne said that some netizens always have something bad to say, regardless of the results.
“Daming hanas pag mataas ang TXT VOTES.. chika pa kayo na dapat mas mataas percent ng hurados scores.. PERO hanas pa din pag Natalo dahil mas mataas ang hurados scores kesa txt votes? Eh ganon po talaga.. At tandaan madaming sikat ngayon na Di naman nag grand winner. Peace! [smile and peace emojis]”
In her second tweet, K revealed that she received threats but she considers this as part of her job.
“Kahit ano pa pong mura nyo SA akin, bash na wala na SA issue, At May pagbabanta pa SA buhay ko, kahit ano pang sabihin nyo, wala na tayong lahat magagawa.. ako work na lang uli tom na walang galit SA dibdib.. kaya kung masaya kayo SA ginagawa nyo At galit, gusto nyo yan eh. [peace and smile emojis]”
K also retweeted a netizen’s post about excellence and consistency.
She then posted a third tweet to respond to a netizen who called her “bobo.”
Mariko posted a Facebook status to show her disbelief over her triumph.
Meanwhile, Mariane thanked those who supported her.
