Juding Anne Santos at Jun 17, 08 at 11:08 pm

lordmanilastone at Jun 17, 08 at 11:16 pm
Migs sounds soooo sexy pala!

dojojam at Jun 17, 08 at 11:20 pm
finally migs on flesh… (not exactly)…

railey at Jun 17, 08 at 11:25 pm
a life without pretensions is a life lived well! totally agree with dencio…

railey at Jun 17, 08 at 11:38 pm
it was great. but you know what, i’ve known a lot of gays na may sari-sariling istorya about their childhood molestation experiences na kesyo cause ng pagiging gay nila. siguro, sa psychology, it really happens. but i despise the idea that most of us has their claim of same incident to incorporate with their being gay. minsan most of us are being fictitious na, para lang masabi na wala ka talagang kasalanan kung naging bading ka man? it’s so lame. ako, i never had encounters like that, i was raised by my parents in a manly manner, i didn’t grow up with gays in my surroundings, pero i grew up GAY. and i don’t bother to discover the cause because i know it will be just as hard as finding the reason why my mom is a woman and my dad is a man.
the point i was trying to elaborate, i guess, is baket masyadong big deal yung “namolestya ako kaya ako bading”. baket yung mga babaeng nari-rape di naman nagiging tomboy?
i think, the gay community doesn’t need to hear this podcast, alam na natin ‘to eh. i guess it’s the straights’ community that we need to educate. kaso kadalasan, mga bading din ang nanghahamak sa kapwa bading.
kapag may nakitang straight-acting, tumataas ang kilay. eh baket ba? mas pleasant pa ngang tingnan yung straight-acting keysa sa trying hard magpagirl diba?
and it’s a matter of preferences. when i wear clothes for boys, it doen’t mean i’m portraying a straight’s role. kasi reality check, we have balls and we know what to wear. when i act like a straight man, it doesn’t mean i pretending to be one.
being gay, in it’s basic sense alone is already happiness. baket ba naman gugustuhin ng mga paminta ang mag-astang aattend ng costume party araw-araw diba?
it doesn’t matter if you’re gay, the question is what are you gay about?

langma at Jun 17, 08 at 11:54 pm
Paulo Bediones, is that you?
Anyway, I was so convinced I was straight for years until the Internet, yes.

andrew m. lim at Jun 18, 08 at 1:21 am
i don’t buy that discovery tales, anu yun para i dilute yung berdeng dugo that runs into their veins. not true.

lucy at Jun 18, 08 at 1:25 am
Hi Migz, as soon as I finished listening to your podcast with your three “paminta” guests, I figured that I send you this message thanking you not only for the podcasts but for other things as well. I am recently de-”closeted” and a very happy one. Listening to your podcasts, it brought me to my past; time when I was suffering because I couldn’t be myself. As of this moment, most if not all of my friends and sisters know that I’m gay. It makes me happy to know that there are people just like me, gay but straight-acting. Knowing that there are people going thru the similar experiences as I am gives me comfort and a sense of feeling that I’m not alone. That is why, like you and your website I’m very thankful. During the times I would feel helpless, hopeless, and no sense of belonging, I turned to your site and read to be inspire. Everytime I visit it never failed me. Six months since I came out, I have never been more happier with myself than I do now. I know my journey just started and whole new experiences await. Migz, keep up the good work. If there is something I could leave for people going thru what I went thru, all I can say is that life is too short to wear an ugly face that’s not yours.

Thank you and with much love,
F.

migs, paano mo naman nakuhang makipaginuman ang tatlong ito hehehe. at ang mga tanong mo, “tinigasan ka ba?” “nalibugan ka ba?” hehehe….

matagal na nag-ppodcast si kuya migs. welcome back sa podcast kuya migs.

neon at Jun 18, 08 at 5:08 am
Just like one of the guys, my first experience was with my cousin who happens to be a playboy. he was like my idol, because he’s good in everything he do. He’s 5 years my senior.Every summer and christmas time, all of my cousins would gather in my lola’s house and my “kuya” and i will be assigned to the same room eveytime we’re there. It started with one rainy afternoon and he’s come on line was ” mahilig ka ba sa lollipop?”….yun lang. It’s surprising to hear that there are several guys out there who had similar experience pa la. Thanks Migs for the podcasts

blue_prince at Jun 18, 08 at 5:26 am
migs, glad to hear ur voice. saludo ako syo!

tiririt at Jun 18, 08 at 6:23 am
being in the closet means you are full of fears about what and who you are (for a variety of reasons). the vast majority of gays have not experienced sexual abuse as a child. it is NOT the main “cause” of being gay. not all abused children become gay. many gays are not feminine. being feminine is not prerequesite for being gay.

matagal akong hindi nakapagcomment sa blog na ito. hehe

eponine at Jun 18, 08 at 10:12 am
hey migs, i’m just starting as a blogger and i was impressed with your blog. just like the 3, i too can relate with them. one of these days, i’ll post the link through my blog. i’m following your blog for months now, and this is the first time i commented. i’m having so much fun and somehow, empowered. right now, i can’t still find the identity i’ve been looking for myself, sana you can help me and all the other guys in here. more power and God bless.

stan� at Jun 18, 08 at 10:14 am
opinion ko lang, i think bi guys are still hoping to have real straight guys, thats why they act and live a life like straight guys…i am effem by the way…in this world were all homosexuals…i just hate the fact that we have discrimination within
our own circle…we have our own itch and we have our own principles, un lang kakairita lang ang ibang bi’s na kala mo superior sa ibang homo branding just because they are more straight looking, in short bakla pa din naman at tite pa din habol..perokung maka react sa harap ng shemales or effems eh ganon ganon nalang.. un lang

butterflyrhai at Jun 18, 08 at 11:00 am
my God!!! ang ganda pala ng boses ni migs!!
this is my first time to comment in this site coz wat i am doing is to browse pictures lang….anyways…those 3 guys, parang ganyan lang ako!! hehe!! looking guy, feeling gay!! hahaha!!! welcome me!! tnx!!

rye at Jun 18, 08 at 11:40 am
two thumbs up for dencio…

enrick at Jun 18, 08 at 11:48 am
bakla ako pero sa panahon ngayon parang nakakatakot isipin na halos lahat ng mga lalaki (yung mga younger gen mostly) ay meron nang homoerotic fascination. i’m sorry ha pero parang medyo disrespectful sa mga babae ‘yong sabi ng isa sa tatlong “closet badets” na ‘…wag sayangin ang panahon sa mga babae’. naisip ko, kung hindi dahil sa ina (na babae) niya, hindi siya naipanganak sa mundong ito, hindi niya naranasan kung anomang pleasure meron siya ngayon, o di kaya kung walang mga babae, walang mga anak na lalaki….paniwala ko sa mga kalalakihan ngayon or sa atin na rin mga bakla, ang lahat nang ito kasi ay part lamang ng ating mga hedonistic pursuits. kaya sinasabi ko hindi ako nagpapakamalinis, bakla ako, pero talagang hindi ganun kasaya. after all, wala naman talaga tayong happy endings eh. ang lalaki ay para talaga sa babae and i respect that, the same way that i respect the fact that as humans, we all want pleasure (whether light or dark). hehehe…maraming salamat Migs.

grill at Jun 18, 08 at 12:18 pm
to langma… you completely miss the point…

justin at Jun 18, 08 at 12:21 pm
grill, very well stated. i share the same feelings.

zooey at Jun 18, 08 at 12:28 pm
Ang haba pala ng podcast na to pero very juicy and malaman yung usapan. Of course some people will disagree with its contents and we can’t blame them for that, we have our opinion.

Tsinitoboy at Jun 18, 08 at 2:06 pm
I came out recently to a couple of girlfriends but it backfired in a way that they now expect me to take them to watch men pole vaulting in a bar which is not my cup of tea. My point is i respect gay men who dont want to come out and disdain gay men who subscribe to the idea that all closeted gay men are in agony. Nowadays everyone has to live with their choices in who they sleep with.

drigo at Jun 18, 08 at 3:47 pm

Luis at Jun 18, 08 at 5:20 pm
What ‘straight-acting’ gay people don’t have is the POWER TO REPRESENT gay people in a symbolic sense. It’s one thing to say you’re gay, it’s another to be a (literal) gay symbol in the streets daily in a sea of straightness. Whether being effeminate is natural to you or not, acting contrary to ‘how you’re supposed to behave’ is rebelling against the system of heterosexuality that has supressed us. It’s transgression, kinukontra mo. In this sense, ‘acting straight’ is submitting to the status quo, acting how we’re supposed to. But it’s more complicated than that, on the other hand, you can also argue that gays are expected to act effeminately so being ‘straight-acting’ is a rebellion din. I think it’s less rebellious though dahil it’s less overt and, let’s face it, a lot of ‘paminta’ are that way because they HATE being faggots, and by that I mean stereotypically swishy gays. Regardless, the truth is we are free to be who we are because of the effeminate gay men and the butch lesbians in the past who risked their lives to be given equal rights as straight people. Kung puro ‘straight-acting’ dati, the gay movement wouldn’t have been successful. Think about that before you act condescendingly against effeminate gay guys, lahat tayo, myself included, are guilty of that.

rustcell at Jun 18, 08 at 5:26 pm
i love this, sobra!!! i can relate in this. skight teary eyed ako hehehe.

patrick at Jun 18, 08 at 5:48 pm
oh brother.

im_dun at Jun 18, 08 at 5:51 pm
There are hetero girls that act like boys, and hetero boys that act like girls, then why should gay boys who act masculine be ‘weird’?

I have no pretensions when I act the way I do. I’m totally out to my friends and family (ie they know about my sexual orientation). I’m masculine still though.

To the newbies, act the way you wanna act. Just be yourselves. There’s no such thing as a ‘gay’ way to act.

from1fag2another at Jun 18, 08 at 6:26 pm
One more thing,

I just hate the term paminta. Pa-lalake that what it means right? Whenever you use this term, you stereotype how gay men should act.

And it sounds so jologs.. paminta hehehehe

from1fag2another at Jun 18, 08 at 6:32 pm
ABA AKALAIN MO HEHE. HULAAN NYO NGA KUNG SINU SINO KAMI DYAN HEHEHE… SALAMAT SA MGA KOMENT, AT SA MGA NAKA-RELATE UR WELCUM. SA MGA NAMISINTERPRET YUNG USAPAN, RESPETADO KANYA KANYANG UPINYON NYO. DUN SA MGA KUMOKONTRA, SAPAKAN NA LANG TAYO! HEHE BIRU LANG.

Thanks for listening. I hope with this podcast we were able to help those men who are still in stage of confusion. We should waste no time. Make the most out of what we have and do what we really want in life. Feels so good to real! god bless everyone!

paulo at Jun 18, 08 at 9:30 pm
I like this podcast…it really speaks of what really is happening around us especially those who’re not out. thanks migs!

they still hate themselves being gay. just a thought.

Just like what my friend have texted me awhile ago…

“Don’t say pare when it doesn’t sound right. Don’t push yourself acting straight when gay behavior always surfaces. Don’t say discreet when face pic are posted on gay sites.

Straight tripper and straight curious are REAL GAYS.

so pink people…
BE PROUD…HAVE PRIDE….
embrace your sexuality…
love it.admit it.flaunt it.

who cares if you love cock…”

isa lang gusto ko sabihin. ang ganda ng boses ni migs. ang lamig pakinggan, parang pang radyo.

crush na kita migs.

lonelygayboy at Jun 19, 08 at 1:42 am
They’re young, they’re very impressionable, and they’re still growing in what they have discovered of their sexual identities. This generation is marked by an increase sexual liberties and it is developing further as compared to their predecessors.

What piqued my interest in this podcast is the freedom that these young gay men seemingly bear in their �covert� ability to discover themselves within the construct of a mainstream culture of being �straight-acting�. I wonder, what it would be like when their families (particularly their elders) know of their sexual nature or the secrets they bear behind their straight guy facade? Will things still be the same way as how they live their lives right now in a discreet manner? As �straight-acting� gay males who come out, will they be able to express their fondness for the same sex without having to bear the burden that they must be act �effeminate� and not �straight-acting�? As in �bakla ka, so dapat binabae ka�.

Another thing I noticed is why the seeming badge of honor in being known and tagged as �straight-acting�? Ibig sabihin ba noo’y kapag straight-acting ang isang bakla eh mas nakatataas na antas na ba siya kesa yaong mga binabae?

Kapuna-puna ang reaction ni RUSTCELL sa itaas. Sa ganang akin ang ganitong pagbibigay ng mataas na antas sa mga silahis na astig (straight-acting gay males) eh para na ring sinabi na, yung mga binabae na naglaban ng karapatan nilang makilala eh wala nang saysay at mananatili pa ring, tulad ng dati, eh katawa-tawa. Oh, baka naman ang ganitong pagkakaroon ng mga matatapang na loob na bakla na hindi naman binabae at lumalabas unti-unti mula sa aparador, eh reaksyon lamang ng ating lipunan na naghahanap ng �balanse�. Being in the mainstream doesn’t rock the boat and creates societal balance.

Pero, ito ang nakasisigurado ako. Ang mga sinabi ng tatlong binatilyo sa podcast eh repleksyon lamang ng dynamic na pagbabago sa larangan ng pagtanggap ng modernong kulturang pilipino sa liberal na pananaw lalo na’t dumarating sa usapang sekswal. On one hand too, lucky are the youth of today. Because of information, they can learn more of themselves and express these in a more liberating culture.

However, with freedom comes responsibility. I wonder how responsible are the young gay men of today would bear with dignity and pride the badge of wearing the truth of their nature on their sleeves? Are straight-acting gay males a new species of gay men who will come out later on and responsibly express and live their lives as such, something to be emulated by the ones who will follow them? Or are these same straight-acting gay males are simply a fluke in the process of gay development, that they only label themselves as such in order TO HIDE their nature? Or will it be that once they’ve acquired that courage to be out, they’ll just look back at their “straight-acting” days as simply a joke or a bump in their lives?

Yun lang po�

amvisiosa at Jun 19, 08 at 4:09 am
Super familiar ang boses ni Dencio.

Tsinitoboy at Jun 19, 08 at 2:45 pm
Well said, Pedro Penducker, and thanks for the mention. At hindi pa ako tapos! LOL Siguro nga it is ‘progress’ when gays can now have the option to be either ‘paminta’ or effeminate. I just hope hindi forced. On both sides, it’s more well-known na there are gays who ‘act straight’ but I think the fact is merong gays who ‘act gay’, they fall into the ‘swishy gay’ stereotype ‘coz they don’t know any better. Just be who you are. In my case, I love that I can be both. I can be a big girl, too, when I’m with the girls (though I can never do swardspeak, baluktot ang dating, ‘choz’ pa lang) but it’s nice to be mistaken as my friend’s BF when we go to her company party. I hope it’s not homophobia in my part (although it may be) but I think it’s mostly not being limited to my sexual orientation. I like being gay but there’s more to me than that. Closet issues I think mostly help define who you are. In my case, I wasn’t ladlad dati pero I wasn’t in the closet either, I was always, more or less, myself so now I feel I don’t have to act anything but myself. And, ultimate, that’s what the gay movement is all about. Anyway, HAPPY GAY PRIDE MONTH! Paminta man o effeminate, let’s not forget the swishy queens (and some even butch) who fought for us!

rustcell at Jun 19, 08 at 8:03 pm
objectively speaking, the reason why straight-acting guys are perceived to be on a higher level than their effeminate peers is one of market value.

gays are attracted to men, obviously. so gays look for guys who are men, or who fit their perception of their desired masculinity in a partner. the “straighter” acting a guy is, the higher the market value. this applies to majority of gay guys where effeminate guys are not the desired ideal partner.

so the marginalization of effeminates is based on the desired ideal masculinity of gay guys with fellow gay guys. the bad thing is that this sexually-based desire is generalized into discrimination based on an individual’s worth beyond his market value in the sex market. the discrimination is compounded by the hypocrisy of straight-acting gays to increase their market value by siding with the religion-based homophobia embedded with the rest of society to escape stigmatization and affirm themselves as conforming to patriarchal norms and values.

to eliminate this internal discrimination requires a change in our mindsets in the appreciation of effeminate gay guys, first in the perception of sexually desirable partners, second in the intrinsic worth as a human, and lastly but most importantly, the role of effeminates as the visible representatives of the gay community, as the immediate victims of homophobic stigmatization, and as the combatants in the fight for gay acceptance.

only then will a paradigm shift occur.

i havent heard the podcast yet. (still downloading it, coz im in a net cafe; will listen to it at home)
just posting in response to some of the peoples’ comments.

“This generation is marked by an increase (in their)sexual liberties…” – pedro penducker

–true true, and yet it is the very same reason why we are looked down upon

@vince : i like what you said, but not everyone can say it like that you know? everybody is proud of themselves in one way or the other,

“What �straight-acting� gay people don�t have is the POWER TO REPRESENT gay people in a symbolic sense. It�s one thing to say you�re gay, it�s another to be a (literal) gay symbol in the streets daily in a sea of straightness.” – rustcell

–we are looked down upon but look at all the words being posted here people… intelligent quotes…(liking it)… =)

ei migs,just wanted u to know that i like what you and the other bloggers have started, ung parang tipong open forum shit kinda thing for difrent kinds of people…thanks. even though i dont understand some of the words being posted here, eheh, (eg. “paminta” – i know its pepper, pero ung other meaning nya…)

and yup for the longest time i wanted to put down a comment, at the very least, just to…..uh, ewan,..belong? hehehe

ei migs, hope i cn talk to you in private, i mean kahit sa YM or sumthing.. wala lng.. tnx ulet

tantan at Jun 21, 08 at 7:17 pm
damn. I super can relate ha. Tinamaan ako sa last hirit na pano pag mayasawa na okaya may girlfriend pero nakikipagtitigan thing. HAHA actually un rin naisip ko when I decided to leave my last girlfriend and come out. Ang Bullsht kasi. nakakakonsensya lang. hehe thanks for posting this mike. super nkarelate ako.

seb at Jun 21, 08 at 10:14 pm
mga echosera. haha. sometimes the focus on sexuality is too much. the ultimate point is, are these good people? are they kind, responsible and loving or are they manipulative, careless and selfish?

asdfg at Jun 22, 08 at 12:45 am
I’m closeted as well and i do not think it is fair for other guys to judge that we closeted gays are not true to oursleves. There is a time for everything … including outing yourself to everyone. If you think some of your so-called straight guys are just faking it (may they be celebrity or not) just let them be. Timing lang naman kailangan nila eh. Stop gossiping about them, outing them to other people… Respeto parin kailangan. Bakit ba kasi gusto ng lahat ng tao malaman kaagad na gay ka? If you outed yourself na, don’t expect others to out themselves as early as you did. If they choose to live that life, then let them. God knows what He is doing to each and every person. Wag natin unahan ang plans ni God or ng taong yun.

fatheroffour at Jun 22, 08 at 7:43 pm

Hopefully a video interview perhaps … obviously not ones in the closet …

Denis Trillio at Jun 24, 08 at 1:43 pm

It was such an interesting to listen about their side although, that isn’t new for me, or even others among of us. I’d been in that way (and so it goes even until now, but at least, relaxed). Sabi ko nga, maybe it’s hard to assume kung talaga bang ka-’affiliate” natin sila, but at least, they field out their side, kesyo discreet nga lang…
Just like everyone of us: bayoneta, pa-mhinta, patatas, reina de la aparadores, name it for whatever; we live in the way of life facing the music of reality that asks: Can we be among of all despite of our difference to others? Is it a necessity to come out or hide and seek even against the sins of hypocrisy? and… can we define to the common world that we live (and exist)in a simple and justified reason to refute the contradictions of the sins of hypocrisy?
Too much words I’d asked. pero yan ang tinatanong ko sa reality…

Hello Migs

Holy smoke this is the first time in my life I heard about the podcast in Manila Gay Guide. It is interesting to hear how your 3 guest deliver thier point of view with thier sexual orientation. It sounds not a gay. Their voices is very compelling and anticing to girls and sound like a handsome guy. Anyway whatever is it that you think you will feel happy about yourself go for it.

More power.

ey migs!

I have just heard your podcast just now. I salute the three guys in their courage to finally accept who they really are. Man! I just hope i can do the same thing. But im not ready yet to come out, nor am I ready to enter into a man to man relationship…but damn if only we’re not in this country.

To Marco, Dencio, and Paulo…two thumbs uo to you guys!

More power migs!

touch ako sa 3paminta na guest mo Migs, how I wish naging kasing tapang nila ko before na harapin ang totoong ako, until now nakatago pa rin ako kasi I have my own family na alam ko maaapektohan. until now di pa rin ako masaya sa kalagayan ko. hope migs I can have a chance to talk to you in mail, im here in abroad now. thank you and more power.

I can relate with Marco.

I watch gay porns, no experience yet. I watch gay porns (dvd/internet) just to suffice my self. But I don’t admit that I’m gay.

But my heart throbs whenever i see cute guys. Haha.

I think still in the process of being gay, or what.
Is it what you call “confusion”?

during these times, it’s really advantageous for hook-ups if you are straight-acting. they find it “hot”.

Leo at May 29, 09 at 4:10 am
A number of effeminate gay men can’t understand why some gay men prefer to act straight and vice versa. I agree with the 3 closet badets. You are not obligated to act parlorista gay if you are gay. I say just let everyone be what they want to be as long as they are being honest. but what I can’t understand are gay men who label themselves Bi (but have never even had a girlfriend, much less seen a vagina) because they don’t have the guts to be honest.

Oh my God. I should have read this when it was hot off the press. Sigh. There’s enough material here for 24 blogs! Lots of pop psych here that I am itching to dissect and deconstruct. LOL.

Migs I’ll blog about this, by the grace of your generosity.
