00:00 Happy Pride, Kapuso!
00:02 Happy Pride!
00:04 This morning, we have a proud story to share with you this Pride Month.
00:08 That's right, our guests this morning went viral!
00:11 Let's see the online.
00:13 Look at that.
00:15 Aww!
00:17 So cute!
00:19 Don't drop it!
00:21 That's Violet.
00:22 That's perfect.
00:23 That's Violet Willard and her father, Jose Lito Ramos.
00:27 Violet posted a lot of videos of her father wearing a crown.
00:32 It has now reached 21.3 million views.
00:36 And netizens commented, "We are healing from this video."
00:42 Yes, there was another comment that said, "I wish you were all."
00:49 And another one said, "If her son is part of LGBT, he will support her all the way."
00:58 That's heartwarming.
01:00 And now, we will be joined by the fathers in the front row.
01:04 Her father is Pride, Violet Hilar.
01:09 That's right! Wow!
01:11 Look at that.
01:15 Oh!
01:16 That's why he has a crown.
01:19 Hi, hello, and welcome!
01:21 I am Violet Willard, a 22-year-old youngsterner that is truly all the way
01:27 from the Buhayani Festival of the Philippines, Calamba City, province of Laguna.
01:33 I am happy to introduce my supportive father, Papa Jose Lito P. Ramos.
01:41 Oh!
01:44 He's so cute!
01:46 Oh, this father is so cute.
01:49 This is so touching.
01:51 The video is amazing, guys.
01:53 Is Violet and Papa Jose Lito joining us?
01:55 Please join us here, Violet.
01:56 So, please join us.
01:57 There.
01:59 The fathers are supportive all the way, especially when the crown is high.
02:03 Welcome to the front row.
02:04 Thank you.
02:05 Hi, Violet. Congratulations.
02:08 Good morning.
02:09 Good morning, too.
02:10 Hello, hello.
02:11 His father is so busy.
02:12 His son has a train.
02:13 How will he avoid it?
02:14 Have a seat.
02:15 Hi, welcome to the front row.
02:17 Welcome.
02:18 Thank you.
02:19 The video you made is amazing.
02:21 There are so many touches, of course, when you made Violet,
02:23 when you put the crown on your father.
02:25 Tell us how that moment happened.
02:28 Actually, I titled it "Santa Catalina, Binan Laguna."
02:35 And then, that was just a raw video at all.
02:39 So, I was surprised because I saw a template on TikTok where the music is Joseph.
02:47 Then, I said, "What if I tried putting our video there?"
02:53 Then, I was surprised that the timing was just right.
02:58 I said, "I'll just upload it on my TikTok account with no expectation."
03:03 I always upload with no expectation.
03:05 Then, out of a sudden, it boomed to 21.5 million views.
03:11 21.5 million views.
03:13 Dad, did you know that you will be wearing a crown?
03:17 What were the plans at that moment when you went on stage?
03:20 I was happy.
03:21 I was happy because my heart was beating fast.
03:23 I was afraid that someone would say something to me.
03:26 I let my son join the band before.
03:28 I heard some reactions that someone would say something to my son.
03:32 My heart would hurt.
03:33 But now, I think that I've inspired a lot of people.
03:37 Especially, when my son is in the office, he inspires people.
03:42 He doesn't make us feel bad.
03:43 That's why I'm happy.
03:46 Ever since then, you've been supporting Violet all the time.
03:50 Yes, every project.
03:51 After I worked, I went to her.
03:53 We went together.
03:54 What are your ways to support her?
03:56 Ways?
03:58 Ways?
04:00 What are they?
04:02 You're the cheerleader.
04:04 You're the one who drives.
04:06 She brings a lot of things.
04:09 Yes, because there are a lot of things.
04:10 It's heavy.
04:12 How long have you been doing pageants?
04:15 I started joining pageants after the pandemic in 2021.
04:19 I think it's almost 2 to 3 years that I've been doing pageants.
04:23 Is this your first major win?
04:25 No.
04:26 There are a lot of them.
04:27 My first ever major win was Kalamba Gay Queen,
04:32 which is our citywide pageant.
04:34 I won as Kalamba Gay Queen Buhayani Festival title holder.
04:37 Wow!
04:38 Good morning, Kalamba.
04:40 Good morning, Kalamba.
04:43 What do you feel when you see your dad watching you?
04:47 It's a surreal moment, to be honest.
04:50 As a gay person, part of the LGBT community,
04:55 is the support of a father who is listening to each and every one.
04:59 Should I say, it's rare?
05:02 Usually, it's the mother who goes.
05:05 But you're with your father.
05:08 That's so funny.
05:10 Violet, how did you reveal your sexuality to your father?
05:13 How old were you?
05:15 I remember when I was in grade 10,
05:19 I confessed to him that I'm bisexual.
05:22 Then, as time goes by, I realized that I'm not a bisexual anymore.
05:27 I'm a gay man.
05:29 What was your father's reaction?
05:32 It's totally fine with him,
05:34 as long as we're putting God in the center of our relationship.
05:39 For us, it's not the religion that matters.
05:44 It's about the faith in God.
05:47 That's great.
05:49 Congratulations. You're very, very beautiful.
05:51 Yes, I am.
05:52 But what was your reaction when he told you that he's bisexual or gay?
05:58 At first, I felt like he was.
06:01 But did you feel it when he was younger?
06:05 Not yet.
06:06 My wife would tell me that I'm a gay man.
06:12 But when the project started,
06:15 in our barangay,
06:17 I was really sad.
06:20 I thought about it for a week.
06:22 Then, after that,
06:24 I asked my wife to join our barangay.
06:27 At first, I was really surprised.
06:29 "Go, my daughter, join our barangay."
06:31 Number one supporter, number one sponsor.
06:34 She really wanted to join.
06:35 That was my first ever barangay gay pageant.
06:39 I told myself that I have insecurities.
06:42 Shoutout to my mom, Jeyran, who is my mother-in-law in the LGBT community.
06:48 She told me, "My daughter, join us because you'll be able to collect corona."
06:53 I said, "Yes, I'll be able to collect corona."
06:56 But I have to gain the yes of my father first.
06:59 The respect is still there.
07:02 Aside from supporting the pageants,
07:04 what were the bonding moments between the two?
07:07 How did you become close?
07:09 I mean, so much so that Violet is comfortable telling you that this is her sexuality at a young age.
07:15 What were your bonding moments?
07:17 When the pageants ended, we ate out, we talked.
07:22 You two are really partners, best friends.
07:26 Yes, they're really close.
07:28 You guys were mulling.
07:29 We were mulling.
07:30 We ate out, we talked.
07:32 That's great.
07:33 What is your favorite topic in your stories?
07:36 Number one is studying.
07:38 Studying.
07:39 Of course, studying.
07:41 Number one, I always tell my daughter, "Study."
07:44 And the dreams of every parent.
07:46 It's really nice for the parents to see their children working hard.
07:50 Of course, Violeta, we know that there are a lot of positive bashers on social media.
07:56 How do you handle those bashers?
07:59 For me, I told Mark, "Don't pay attention to them."
08:03 Because we can't do anything if people don't pay attention.
08:07 I saw that there were a lot of people who were inspired by us.
08:10 So, it's really beneficial.
08:12 If you count the number of people, there are a lot of positive bashers.
08:17 How about you, Violeta? How do you handle the bashers?
08:19 For me, I fight them.
08:21 If my father is quiet, I'm not.
08:25 For me, I'm the type of person that after everything that's done for us, I'll return it.
08:33 Even if you don't say that you need to return it.
08:36 Because my father is really quiet.
08:38 He's really kind.
08:41 He's really kind.
08:42 I'm the type of person that he doesn't scold me.
08:45 He doesn't scold you.
08:47 He doesn't scold me.
08:51 I fight them because he often says that he's gay.
08:55 He supports me because he's also gay.
08:58 He also wants to do the same thing as before.
09:01 Which is for me, it's not. It's really far.
09:04 So, I always try to avoid him.
09:07 Not because I'm guilty, but because I love my child.
09:10 Of course.
09:11 Usually, if you fight, it's okay.
09:13 But if it's your family, it's a war.
09:16 Violet, you're almost graduating from college.
09:18 Your father's dream, this coming August.
09:21 Father Joselito, what's your message to Violet?
09:24 What's your course?
09:25 I'm taking Bachelor of Physical Education.
09:28 Okay.
09:29 Let's hear your message to Violet.
09:31 I'm really happy for you. I'm proud of you.
09:34 You didn't just give up on the truth.
09:36 Oh my God.
09:37 For example, from high school to college,
09:39 you didn't just pursue your dreams.
09:43 I don't have any tuition for you.
09:45 So, thank you so much, son, for doing your best for you.
09:50 You're also the breadwinner.
09:52 Whatever you're struggling with,
09:54 just take care of yourself, son.
09:56 That's all I can say.
09:57 Yes, father. I will. I will do it.
09:59 We're getting emotional here in the studio.
10:01 I'm crying.
10:02 You're a father.
10:03 It's so nice to have a good relationship with your father.
10:07 Or with your son.
10:08 You're really full support.
10:10 What's your message to all the people who support you?
10:15 First of all, I would like to thank you personally.
10:21 Because you accepted me for who I am.
10:26 Although it's hard for us because we have religion.
10:30 I was born a Christian.
10:32 Our basis is the Bible.
10:34 God created man and woman.
10:36 But despite of that, I was accepted by your father.
10:39 And now, I'm happy to announce to everyone that I'm graduating with Latin honors.
10:44 Wow!
10:46 What's Latin honors? I want that too.
10:52 I will play in the summa cum laude up to laude.
10:56 I don't want to reveal it yet.
10:58 I'm a consistent first honor.
11:00 I'm a first honor in our department since first year to fourth year.
11:06 Fantastic. Consistent.
11:07 Congratulations.
11:08 I'm so happy to have you.
11:09 I saw their bond.
11:11 They're always holding each other's hands.
11:13 It's so close.
11:14 Very nice to see that family bond.
11:16 And of course, our interview will not end without Violeta.
11:21 Violet?
11:22 I want you to call her Violeta.
11:24 That's it. That's your unit.
11:26 Violeta, the place of Corona.
11:30 There.
11:31 Even father.
11:32 This is it.
11:33 There.
11:36 World's best.
11:37 It's Father's Day on Sunday.
11:40 A big round of applause.
11:41 Happy Father's Day to him, to all the dads.
11:44 Yes.
11:45 And especially, there's a hug here.
11:50 There.
11:51 Is it heavy, father?
11:52 It's okay.
11:53 It's okay.
11:54 I'm used to it.
11:55 Father has a lot of lipstick.
11:57 He has a lot of lipstick.
11:58 Father.
11:59 Thank you so much.
12:00 Congratulations to both of you.
12:02 Congratulations for the power to both of you.
12:04 It's true. You're both so happy.
12:05 Thank you so much, Violet or Violeta.
12:08 And Father Joselito for sharing your story with us.
12:11 Congratulations on your graduation, Violet.
12:14 And of course, happy Advanced Father's Day, Father Joselito.
12:17 Yay!
12:19 Good job.
12:20 I'm a home winner.
12:21 I'm a home winner.
12:22 Congratulations.
