BB Gandanghari Guests On 'Bandila'

BB Gandanghari on "Bandila"

BB Gandanghari sat down with Boy Abunda for the "Ikaw Na" segment of ABS-CBN's late night news program "Bandila" on Tuesday, August 21, 2012.

During the interview, BB Gandanghari answered some questions from the fans of the show.

The "Enchanted Garden" star was asked about how she identifies herself, whether she used "Pinoy Big Brother" to tell the Filipinos about her sexuality, and if she's still experiencing discrimination.

Responding to the question about her sexual identity, she said she's not a fan of labels. She also said she indeed found "Pinoy Big Brother" a perfect venue for her to come out and end the rumors. She shared that she experienced discrimination more in New York than here in the country. She recounted how it was hard for her to do her job at a restaurant because of her sexual orientation.

BB added that she's happy and she does not miss Rustom Padilla.

Robin Padilla talks about BB Gandanghari

Robin Padilla revealed that things are not yet well between him and his brother Rustom Padilla, who is now known as BB Gandanghari.

"Sa ngayon, hindi kami okay ni Rustom," Robin told a group of reporters during a press conference Wednesday.

Robin also admitted that he and his other brothers are still "shocked" with Rustom's transformation.

"Shocking pa, e... nasa state of ano pa kami... shock. Lalo na ako," Robin said.

The "Toda Max" actor, however, is still opening the door on his brother.

"Darating tayo diyan, isang araw," said he. "Pero sa mga paniniwala... magkaiba kami ng tinatahak."

He added that Mariel Rodriguez, his wife, is asking him and his siblings to meet with BB, who arrived recently in the country, so that they could have a chance to talk.

"Gusto ni Mariel na magkaroon ng reunion kasi dumating nga si Rustom. Gusto niya magsama sama kaming magkakapatid. Parang siya ang naging daan para magkausap-usap ang magkakapatid," he said.

Rustom Padilla, who is now known as BB Gandanghari, granted his first exclusive interview after his Manila comeback to his sister-in-law, Mariel Rodriguez, who guest-hosted TV5's  "Paparazzi" Saturday.

Here are excerpts of the said interview:

Did he undergo a surgery?

"Whatever you’re seeing now is a manifestation of how I really feel deep inside. And I’ve made decisions in my life and I guess (they’re) the best decisions I’ve made. It made me surer, it made me happier, more peaceful. I have peace of mind [now]. But I hope you will forgive me if I don’t wanna talk more about it. Because whatever is in between my legs is my own private thing. And hopefully my partner’s."

On his modelling stint in New York

"We are considered the new black in the fashion industry. So we have to prove ourselves 200 per cent or even more. Ang lola, ‘day, kailangan yung cleansing (diet). For 24 days, I did that. I was 140 when they said that to me and I went down to 115. Konting disiplina lang to."

Is he ready to face his ex-wife?

"I’m ready to face anyone."

Is he returning back to acting?

"I miss acting. [regardless of whatever role they trust me with]. I just want to work as an actor here."

His message to haters

"I don’t feel any different from any of you guys I’m just unique as you are unique. So let’s just embrace our uniqueness and respect our uniqueness let’s avoid hate."

Here's a TV5 report of the said interview:
