On last Sunday’s The Buzz, the death of Rustom Padilla was formally announced, followed by the birth of Bebe Gandanghari.

While watching Rustom-the matinee idol of the 90’s, or Bebe (pronounced as Bibi) as he wanted to be called now, I wondered how the ex-wife-of-the-ex-dramatic actor (now an ex-male) Carmina Villaruel would feel about it.  If I were in her shoe, maybe I’d feel a little ‘umay’ because… well… ‘honey’, ‘maruja’, etc… plus the nights they shared as married couples…

Remember how they showed affection to each other in public?  Then suddenly, the man of her dreams became a  woman-trapped-inside a man’s body.  I just can’t imagine!  I think that the ex-wife was so awkward for sometime even to talk about him, much so to see him on TV modelling.  Maybe, just maybe… this is just an opinion.  I don’t have any negative feelings toward gays, I am only referring to this particular issue (peace po mga Ka-bading!)

But geerally, In fact, when I stared at Bebe onscreen, I saw a beautiful person with an extraordinary courage of admitting to the public of his sexual preference (that’s tough), which is completely different from the image he projected in the past (this made it even tougher).  That is really COURAGE! 

Plus I saw decency on his character, and kindness for forgiving people who judge him because of his preference.  Sige na nga Bebe… good luck!  Enjoy life!
