German Moreno on Gay Marriage: “Hindi ako agree. Hindi naayon sa natural na sistema. Kung nagmamahalan, lalaki sa lalaki o babae sa babae, magsama na lang at huwag na magpakasal. Ang purpose ng marriage ay magka-anak. Sa parehong sex, hindi naman magbubunga ang kanilang pagmamahalan, so bakit pa magpapakasal?”
What do you say?
As Miriam Quiambao calls homosexuality a “lie of the devil,” surfaces incidentally the controversial Leviticus quote allegedly by Manny Pacquaio. The Fabcasters were quite curious, “are we under attack?” Shet, mukhang magkakatimbugan na! Listen to our crazy but, I must say, substantial discourse on the timely topic.

Dear Migs,
I’m on the crossroads. Why is it so hard for us? Much has been said but let me think out loud anyway. Feel free to publish if you feel people can relate.
Life can’t be any tougher. It’s hard enough to know and realize that you’re not normal i.e. a minority, that you have a scientific objective disorder, it’s harder that we live in a world that frowns upon or looks away from imperfections.
Let’s face it, there are just some things that the lucky heterosexuals will never face.
1. Marriage – Who will marry you? You actually want to, and have an offspring or many of them but who will take you up on this? For normal guys you can just go and marry someone, have a baby. But for us, how? You won’t want to marry someone with this huge secret like a storm cloud ready to pour anytime.
2. Peer pressure – Your hetero friends start to get married one by one at the age of 25 and up, then the question of “why don’t you have a girlfriend” or “when will you get married” is on top of the FAQs. Whatever can you say?
3. Social Networks – You can’t even put your picture on grindr or any website for fear that someone might recognize! If you were straight, then by all means flaunt it.
4. Hooking up – Mostly done online, lest you already have a “discreet circle”. Quite pathetic. And how would you know about the places to go to if you don’t have people to tell you? You must be good with google if you want in on the latest go-to places. Read more »

Hello there Migs!
Bago lang ako sa pag bisita sa blog mo. At sa sandaling panahon eh naeenjoy ko ang mga posts dito at higit sa lahat ay mas lalo kong nakikilala kung ano ba ang mga posibilidad sa mundo ng mga katulad ko. Tawagin mo nalang akong Simon. 21 years old, graduate ako sa isang unibersidad dito sa Maynila at kasalukuyang nag tatrabaho dito na din sa Maynila. Bata pa lang ako, may matinding pag nanasa na ako sa kapwa ko lalake. May matinding passion ako sa katawan ng lalake kaya naman bata pa lang din ako, natutunan ko na agad na mag salsal at tumitig sa mga larawan ng mga maskulado at buffed na mga kalalakihan sa magasin o di kaya sa TV na rin.
Buong buhay ko, ako lang ang nakakakilala sa sarili ko. Maaga ko naman itong natanggap at niyakap ang buong pagkatao ko. Kaso, isa ako sa napakaraming lalake na hindi kayang sabihin kahit kanino (family, friends) na sya ay isang bakla. Nitong mga nakaraang buwan lang ay natutunan kong magtungo sa mga lugar na madalas mag punta ang mga katulad ko. Isang gabi, nakilala ko ang isang lalake na tawagin nalang nating Lando. Hindi sya kaguwapuhan ngunit may dating sya sa akin at parati nya akong napapangiti sa tuwing nagi-ismile sya sa akin. Doble ang idad nya sa akin. Naka-kwentuhan ko sya, sumama ako kahit saan sya mag punta at parang ayaw ko na kaagad mawalay sa piling nya. Madalas ko siyang yakapin sa gabing iyon, sa mga pagkakataong iyon eh nag dududa ako kung mahal ko na ba kaagad ang taong ito, o tawag lang kaya ng libog ang lahat?
Nagpalitan kami ng numbers ni Lando. Nang umuwi ako ng gabing iyon, wala nang kong ibang inisip kung hindi sya. At bago pa ako matulog sa kama ko, nag “Good night” sya sakin at talaga namang naging good ang aking tulog sa gabing iyon. Ilang araw pa ang nakalipas, parati kaming magka text. Hindi man sunod sunod, nagkaroon kami ng maayos na communication sa isa’t isa. Mas lalo ko syang nakilala. Nga pala, hindi ko ba nasabi sa kwento ko kanina? May asawa’t anak nga pala sya. Patawarin niyo ako, pero hindi ko na din alam ang gagawin ko sa mga panahong iyon. Lubusan akong nangungulila sa taong makakaintindi sakin, at higit sa lahat sa pag aaruga at pagmamahal sana ng kapwa ko. Alam kong masama itong pinasok ko at higit sa lahat, walang mabuting madudulot ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. Read more »
Dear Kuya Migs,
I was looking for a hot masseur in the net and I ended up listening to your Semana Santa Podcast. Ang saya saya palagi and that’s how it should be. Life is suppose to be fun. You have no idea how much you are contributing to the awakening of the of these seemingly confused young people and the entire planet in general. If we keep on to vibrating in love instead of fear, these guys will soon see the light, find their way and clarity of the answers they seek. We were programmed to think that religion will give us the answers. In my own journey, I found that the purpose of religion is not to show us the truth but to hide it. The God being taught by religion, especially the so called “Three Faiths of Abraham” and their various offshoots is not God but rather a man (male to be precise with a long beard sitting on a throne) wanting to impose a mindset designed to control people and preserve an empire. It is not the God that I know now. If you look closely, religions have one thing in common. They have been killing each other for centuries trying to prove that they are the right one. Religion is an organized fear-based belief system. It’s a set of rules that you follow because of fear. Think about it, the things that they teach about us about sex feels off (to everyone without exception!) because its not true. It feels off because it is a big lie. It feels off because of our fear that God is angry at us. God is never angry because he is in a state of pure unconditional love. But we force ourselves to believe and follow these teachings and dogmas because of fear. Religion is successful because there is no fear greater than the fear of eternal suffering. Yes they have condemned people to burn in hell for eternity for teaching that the earth is round in the same way that they have condemned people for teaching us to slip a rubber in our dicks. I say no to organized religion and yes to true spirituality. Once we give up the fear, then we see the light, we find the answers and even see the face of God. At this point in my life I feel that way, free, unlimited, always creating, eternally expanding with a God that is pure unconditional love.
Love and Light,

Hi Migs,
Tawagin mo na lang ako sa pangalang Vic, 27 years old at nakatira sa Cavite. Gusto kong ikwento sayo ang karanasan ko kagabi. Ni raid ang Club Bath.
Dalawang taon na ako member ng Club Bath. Nagpupunta ako dito at least once a month sa tuwing nakakaramdam ako ng libog. Convenient kasi. Punta ka don, makipagsex ka, uwi pagkatapos. Nalaman ko ang Club bath online. Based sa mga nabasa ko, ito ang pinaka malinis at safe sa lahat dahil malakas daw ito sa Pasay City Hall. Katabi nga lang naman ito halos ng City Hall, so may point ang descrption na ito. Ang downside lang ay karamihan ng parokyano nito ay matatanda compared sa Fahrenheit sa Cubao. Totoo naman lahat ng ito, except sa description na “safe”.
Dumating ako kagabi sa CB bandang 10pm. Pagdating na pagdating ko, tumungo agad ako sa steam room. Dito ko nakilala si Anjo (hindi niya tunay na pangalan). Sa steam room, nagyakapan kami, hipuan, kiskisin ng titi at halikan. Pagkatapos, tinuloy namin ang sex sa kuwarto niya sa 1st floor. Matapos iyon, nagyosi kami. Habang ang sarap ng kwentuhan namin ni Anjo, bigla na lang may lumabas na naka T-shirt na may handy cam. Hinahabol nung lalake ang dalawa pang lalaki na halatang takot na takot at umiiwas sa camera. Naturally, kinabahan ako at napabalikwas. “Raid ito!” ang sabi ng lalaki. Kumaripas ako ng takbo palabas ng terrace. Nang marating ko ang locker area, lahat ng customers ng Club Bath ay hindi magkanda ugaga sa pagbibihis. Dali dali akong nagbihis. Halos sumabog ang dibdib ko sa kaba. Natatakot ako na baka andon ang TV Patrol, or si Mike Enriquez. Shet! Read more »
Naranasan mo na bang maghabol nang maghabol? Pagod ka na ba sa katatakbo?
