Theres a saying: He who looks back where he came from, will surely go the distance..The fact that Bretman Rock is alway so proud of his Filipino roots, makes him an epitome of what a genuine, authentic Social Media Superstar he is now.
VOGUE PHILIPPINES is the real thing seriously - it is just so cool to see variety in the cover, i remember that 100+ yo tattoo artist one time, a model/philantro before that, a daughter of someone at one time, etc.. and now bretman... vogue phils celebrates everyone and does not go by the usual 'model propotype' gracing the cover which is very shallow and irrelevant nowadays
How come I am not offended with Bretman Rock but I am with Lia Thomas. I wish everyone somehow in the LGBTQ be like Bretman being humble enough, savoring the freedom of being himself without stepping on the rights of others , just having fun and enjoying life, giving inspiration and good vibes to everyone. Truly a life worth living regardless of gender.
Let me tell you why. Cuz we Asians got thick skin. What people call us don’t matter. We know it’s our actions that matter the most. Our parents are very harsh with their words but yet they show us love differently. They teach us at a very young age “get use to it. You can either stay down because of words or you can get up and continue on with your happy ass” 😂
Simple! He knows who he is, he acts like a woman but he's aware that he's not a woman. He doesn't care about pronouns and he doesn't impose his sexuality on anyone. He's just being himself enjoying life to the fullest.
I think the reason why Bretman Rock go by all the pronouns is because Tagalog pronouns in the proper Filipino vocabulary are generally gender neutral. “Siya” for He or She and “Kaniya” for Him or Her PERIOD
This is true for every Filipino who speaks Tagalog (and 170+ Filipino languages). At some point, when we switch to English, esp German and latin-based languages, etc we have this tendency to mix up pronouns. Also, in pre-Spanish colonial times, our ancestors believed in gender fluidity, and gay (binabae) were considered a sacred blessing to the family. Quite interesting.
@@SuperMAu_08 Ugh. I'm gay and I'm grossed out by your weird... fetishization of gays. Tigilan nyo na nga yang kaek-ekan nyo. People are more homophobic towards real gay people now because of you "allies" who keep pushing people's boundaries. JUST RESPECT THEIR LANGUAGE. Jfc.
I really like Bretman. I totally dislike this whole non binary thing, but the way he explains how he uses all the pronouns and just to call him by what people see, I can accept. This is someone who he is willing to meet in the middle.
1:45 Love it! I'm a straight Asian female, but I feel weird that I don't really care about my pronouns. I always thought me not labeling myself (apart from that beginning ... which I see more as just facts) meant I didn't know myself well enough to assign myself a pronoun. I don't identify with my gender or ethnicity. Heck, I don't even feel human most of the time, lol. OH, and good for Bretman. Who cares what they call you?! If they have issues with you, that's on THEM! You just keep on moving forward.
The word "bilao" and also the restaurant's name "Bilao" is pronounced as a three-syllable word (bi-lá-o) or (bee-'lah-o) in the Filipino national and official language and also in some to most of the other languages of, in, and from the Philippines like the Tagalog regional and auxiliary language, etc., but I just want to share though, that in my native, ethnic or ethnolinguistic, and first language of Chavacano/Chabacano, specifically in the Zamboangueño variety or dialect of, in, and from Zamboanga City, Philippines, which is where I am from, we spell and write it down as "bilao" (or sometimes even as "bilaw" because of the way we pronounce this word), and we pronounce it as a two-syllable word bi-láw or bee-'lahw. "Bilao" is also a word in Chavacano/Chabacano and specifically in our variety or dialect, and it also means the same thing as its meaning in Filipino and also in Tagalog and some to most of the other languages of, in, and from the Philippines. Most words that have or ends in "-ao" in Chavacano/Chabacano are pronounced as a one-syllable (aw) or (ahw) and not as a separate and two-syllable (a-o) or (ah-o) like in some to most of the other languages of, in, and from the Philippines. So, maybe the presenter or reporter just pronounced the restaurant's name "Bilao" as a Chavacano/Chabacano (Zamboangueño variety or dialect) speaker and in or with its Chavacano/Chabacano (Zamboangueño variety or dialect) pronunciation, instead of as a Filipino (and/or Tagalog) speaker and instead of using, saying, or speaking in or with its Filipino (and/or Tagalog) pronunciation/s.
The restaurant’s name, it reads as bi-la-oh (3 syllables) and not bi-lao, it is round and shallow basket tray traditionally made of bamboo splits (used for winnowing rice or carrying food)

In the Philippines and in most, if not all, of the languages (and their varieties or dialects) of, in, and from the Philippines, whether Austronesian or Spanish/Spanish-based creole ones, the pronouns are all gender neutral.
Let's accept everyone even if they don't fit the society boxes. Who cares as long as they don't harm other people. I much prefer peaceful non-binary people than macho thugs.
Philippines is best country to be exactly who you are and will never be bullied or killed for it. In the country it has been decades of having gays and lesbians normally accepted. Filipinos and Filipinas are one of the most LGBTQ accepting humans in the world.
You really think the media is just limited to RUclips girl? Are you that dumb? 😂 Who needs RUclips when his on multiple platforms and aired live in American television. 😂 Some people are just blatantly advertising their stupidity. 😂
Is normal synonymous to conforming boring ass ash dry Filipino basic bitch? No thanks. That's not entertaining and we have seen that since your great grandma's time. Bretman deserved it all for giving voice and power to marganized Filipino LGBTQ who is still suffering in our homophobic country.

Correction! It's male sex by birth and our Devine Filipino Goddess who is the badest in the industry and one of the limited edition forbs lister of wealthy people from the Philippines that you can never be. Not to mention that she is a singer, song writer, actor, actress, activist. A coconut connoisseur and a scientist in the mother fuckn side. Good thing she from a very accepting family and in a country that actually celebrates LGBTQ. Unlike our countrytñ that is backward in terms sexual and gender expression due to colonization. Get good ignorant bitch educate yourself that we were once progressive in that field during the pre-colonial 😂
Skwater? Bitch! She's in the Forbes list of wealthy people. How about you? 😂 And class? She dictates class for you. Bret is not just known in the Philippines but world wide. Talk to us when you make it to cover of Vogue like the badest💅

Its a bit Patronizing……
Lol
How about calling people what they feel in their bodies
all influencer needs to bow down! Bretman is genuine! what you see is what you get.. REALNESS!
❤ wishing so much continued prosperity and fun to Bretman…beautiful soul
He doesn't force his agenda down people's throats. Filipinos don't push agendas and beliefs on others.
Vice Ganda does though. I hate that person. I don't like all gays but there are gays that I genuinely like like Bretman for example.
