Rustom Padilla at the 2008 Urian Awards Night
Entry Feed Trackback
In that much celebrated coming-out scene in a Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition episode, Rustom said “I have no choice, I am gay… but hindi ako masamang tao…” He knew of his sexual preference even when he was young, manifesting it by playfully wearing girl’s clothes which his father saw one time and which angered him of course. His mom, Eva Cariño, berated him as well, it was said.
Then, cut to…
During this year’s Urian Awards, where he presented the Best Actor Award, Rustom with nary a care for what other people might say, proudly displays his real self, the girl within. You go, gurl! Hehehe!

He is not gay, he feels himself as a woman, so you know what will happen next- he will travel to Thailand to have the “operation”

My mom and brother here in california said nakakahiya sya, I just said nagpapasikat lang para pag usapan ulit. Mas ok sana kung ang out sya nung cute at papable pa sya. Sam milby and Piolo, go na

aeriol at Oct 3, 08 at 10:53 am
Sinubukan ko siyang pigilan pero hindi nagpaawat ang lola! Ayun, sinuot pa rin niya ang red outfit. Mas maganda kasi yung baby pink na una niyang isinukat, mas bagay sa shade ng lipstick niya. Hi hi hi hi.

matt at Oct 3, 08 at 12:56 pm
he was my school mate in grade school, he’s 1 year ahead of me.. We used to play volleyball and other games a lot..
When he entered showbiz i knew it would be hard for him to hide his bones inside the closet..
when he came out i celebrated! at last he’s free!!!
way to go rustom!!! Im so proud of u!!!
hail to you!!

Si Michael De Mesa? Mukhang may Aids. Napansin lang.
fritz at Oct 3, 08 at 3:42 pm
Masusuka na ako ! ! !
Joey at Oct 3, 08 at 4:48 pm
ang ganda ng lola, kaso ang tsaka ng outfit. naman!
Zang at Oct 3, 08 at 8:23 pm
My God crush ko pa naman siya before nung straight cting guy pa siya. Sana hindi siya maging transexual. I’d rather see him wearing a shirt and a pants than seeing him like a gay in a province…. Peace Out!!!
dudettes at Oct 3, 08 at 9:19 pm
Nanay ko sino ba ang wardrobe mistress nyan.
parang pinaglaruan ang ganda nya mga atehhhh
Ys Carmina na Carmina ang dating. Basta mahalaga
nagenjoy nanay ko.
euges at Oct 3, 08 at 10:20 pm
feel na nga niya.. secondly, he wore that dahil para ma feel na niya ang next character niya.. im not sure kung sa movie ba ito or sa soap opera..
Athan at Oct 4, 08 at 1:35 am
man that’s brave of him on two things–to come out on stage in drag and two, to come out oln stage in that, uhm, awful, awful drag. wahahahahahaha!!! gosh sana man lang kumuha ng stylist. or beter yet, he shoulda just worn a gown. yung frou-frou para all out talaga.
rick08 at Oct 4, 08 at 3:05 am
Si mark gil po yung katabi ni manay rostum
hotbikolano at Oct 4, 08 at 9:16 am
Agree ako sa post ni Ed. You should start making that distinction Migs.
More power to Rustom.
Woodstock at Oct 4, 08 at 10:25 am
In the late 1990s, I watched Maruja movie with his ex-wife Carmina. Truly, I adore him that time, but what happened? I pity Carmina very much!
erick_makati at Oct 4, 08 at 2:40 pm
Shit, pantasya ko pa naman dati si Rustom. I was happy to see him come out, partly because he’s happy with himself and partly ‘coz I thought we finally have an atypical gay representative in the media, yun pala beyond femme s’ya. As much as some baklang ‘paminta’ annoy me (usually the ones who are so contrived it comes across as self-hating and homophobic), wala bang baklang neutral-acting (NOT straight-acting, I hate that term) sa Pinas? Yung out ha? Para balanse naman. Not all gays are femme. And, btw, not all cross-dressers want to be a woman, some are even straight. Not speaking from experience, ha, ha, but I know post-op and pre-op people. They’re called ’special girls’, at least the pre-op ones, not sure about the post-op, at least in the U.S.
rustcell at Oct 4, 08 at 2:46 pm

juicy b at Oct 4, 08 at 11:31 pm
Okay, pretty na sha
BUT..
was this really necessary? haha
kai at Oct 5, 08 at 1:55 am
relax people. it’s a gimmick for his next project.
gus at Oct 5, 08 at 3:06 am
maganda ang hair kaso nga lang ung dress nya e..combination of a conservative and liberate dress….wagi parin sya maganda…ya bet so..he has a movie ..y he acts like that…gimmick nga cguro..
ef at Oct 5, 08 at 11:30 am
In an interview at the backstage of Urian, sabi naman nya, warm-up na nya yun for his (with respect to his real physical gender–may “lawit” pa yan.) upcoming project movie na may crossdressing theme ba… Ok, he even said na “simula pa lang ito…”
No need to ask, nor to block Rustom whatever he wants to do…
sabi nga: I-Karir mo yan, fwend!!!
jyixu at Oct 5, 08 at 5:59 pm
wtf???! I can’t really decide if he’s really gay with the choice of outfit. Maglaladlad na lang di pa high-fashion ang dating. Pero in fairness naloka pa rin akitch
bangagboi at Oct 7, 08 at 4:33 am
I could not remember if there was any other actor who came out before turning 50 and hopes to make it big. If he is truly the first filipino actor, I hope he does well. My all-out support to him.
Kakaloka ang mga comments on the outfit. I’m sure ang hirap pumili ng first gown to wear on such an occassion. He did parade with a pink gown on a float during the MMFF ZsaZsa Zaturrnah film but this one’s different. Syempre, lait sa lahat. But it’s not just the gown, it’s that attitude, that confidence to stand there, regardless.
Go Rustom!
RonTab at Oct 8, 08 at 5:23 pm
go go go rustom
mache at Oct 11, 08 at 2:16 pm
wow tue lang sya sa sarili and im proud of rustom…d ko lang tlaga type ang hair nya.the rest is all yours to say but for me she look stunning and elegant\….rustoms fly high…
jose at Oct 11, 08 at 2:31 pm
i admire his courage on coming out to the world that he is gay. i love him for that. however, her fashion at URIAN needs a total makeover… hehehehe..though carry naman nya i think kahit mejo out of season
andois at Oct 14, 08 at 12:09 am
rustom knows how to carry himself! tass nuo sya sa sexuality nya!
cielo at Oct 17, 08 at 4:16 pm
naging bestfriend daw nung nasa Philippine Airlines si Rustom ay si George Ysrael. Now, George is admitting to his co-workers in PAL na naging ON sila dati. Alam na alam ng mga crew yan.
