00:00Ito na, ngayon naging mas appreciative na ang Filipino audience
00:05sa representation ng LGBT sa telebisyon.
00:12Hopefully it's about time na in fairness naman, lumalakas naman ang panonood ng theater.
00:17So baka naman it's real literal na back to the theater,
00:20but this time live theater productions.
00:23Na nakita nyo naman, halos natin theater production may play ngayon.
00:26So sana, di ba, masanayin na tayo para mga tao sa New York, sa Broadway, sa West End, di ba?
00:33So sana gano'n. Parang hindi ko dun papunta na ang mga Pilipino na manood ng mga live musicals nula ng Pondelian.
00:43But definitely, a lot lot better.
00:45And modestly aside, I would like to think that I contributed from it.
00:49Sabi nga ng mga ibang cast, ako daw ang kanilang vice ganda when they were growing up.
00:54Yes, so it's an honor to actually prepare the red carpet for the young generations
01:03who are performing on TV and movies now.
01:07And so, ako naabot ako pa yung struggle eh.
01:10Yung struggle when I was starting in the business.
01:12But you know, I made sure na hindi, hindi ako papaya.
01:15Kasi ako nga yung lumaki sa generation.
01:17Napapanood ko sa sine at saka sa pelikula.
01:19Yung baklay ka to lang sinasabi ni Fi.
01:21Pareho kami.
01:22Sila sa buya ng cakes sa mukha.
01:24Di na, napapinagtatawalan.
01:26So, I made sure when I entered show business and at the beginning getting roles and scripts,
01:33I really made sure na yung role ko ay hindi gano'n.
01:37At siguro yung inawas starting, hindi nilang nga bagay sa akin.
01:40Hindi bagay kay John Lapos na ako yung pinagtatawanan ako.
01:44Naalam nyo naman yung inawas starting.
01:47Si John Lapos yung lalayit ng artista.
01:49Si John Lapos yung mag...
01:51Pagtatawanan kayo yung John Lapos, hindi yung siya magtatawanan.
01:54Yung na naging stepping stone ko sa show business when I started in television
02:01and nang lalayit ako ng mga abista.
02:03So, siguro yung yun.
02:05Kasi talaga bagay sa akin.
02:07So, by doing that, ito na.
02:09Ngayon naging much appreciative na ang Filipino audience
02:13sa representation ng LGBT sa telebisyon.
02:16Yung parang, uy!
02:18Parang hindi na sila basta pwedeng tarayan.
02:21Hindi na sila pwedeng pagtawanan.
02:23Hindi na sila pwedeng sabuyan sa cake sa mukalo.
02:25Malaba na sila.
02:26Dahil nare-respeto na sila.
02:28Because at the same time, respectable din sila sa...
02:30ang mga roles na ginagambala nila.
02:32So, yung mga sumut sa akin, napakaswerte nila.
02:36And nararamdaman ko naman every time they see me,
02:39there's a certain respect that they are given to me.
02:41And with that, I am so thankful.
02:43And full of gratitude.
02:44At the same time, I'm humbled and honored na
02:48I take the way for this gay performer, especially now,
02:55on TV and in the movies,
02:57na mamayagpado.
02:59At nilinis na nang mamasut nila ang daan para sa akin.
