MMK Presents: The Tear-Jerker Story of a Gay Played by Edgar Allan Guzman

In our society,
homosexuals are not openly accepted. In some cases, it is tolerated but to some
extent only. We live in a conservative country wherein religious standard
doesn’t conform with gays and lesbians. Most of the people will discriminate
and judge members of the LGBT or Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community
because they believe that it is immoral or unnatural. That being said, we can
just imagine the difficulties of being one.

Here in the
Philippines, homosexuality is a very sensitive and controversial issue. Thus,
coming out of the closet takes a lot of courage and confidence. One needs to
consider a lot of things before openly proclaiming that he’s gay. What would my
family think of me? What would other people say? What if they don’t accept me?
These are the hanging questions that need to be answered.
Find out the
answers this coming Saturday as you watch this tear-jerking episode of Maalala
Mo Kaya in ABS-CBN. The episode was written by Ruel Montanez and Arah Jell
Badayos. Award-winning actor Edgar Allan Guzman portrays the character of a boy
who discovered his true identity and the problems that came along with it like
coming out to his family.
What would you
do if the family who’s supposed to accept you for who you are will neglect you
for being gay? Now put yourself in the position of a father. What would you do
if your son is gay? Would you disown him? Would you punish him? Or would you
accept him?
This episode is
a bitter reflection of how our society deals with homosexuals by discriminating
and judging them. This inspiring episode will show us how badly misunderstood
LBGT members are.
It will change
the way you view gays or, as Gloc-9 said in his song, ‘Kung minsan mas lalake pa sa lalake ang bakla.’
This eye-opening
episode will not only touch our hearts, it will also teach us a valuable lesson
on how problems and dilemmas can make a family’s bond stronger than ever.
