“The world - they want to criticize us. So, if there’s a problem, we do the Filipino way.” 🇵🇭 • We opened @theprommusical in Los Angeles last night and I decided to celebrate all aspects of my life for opening night: as a proud, queer, Filipino-American man. Ngl for me, stepping out in public like this was a HUGE leap outside of my comfort zone, but pride is sometimes scary; it’s also beautiful and empowering. • So live loudly and proudly, y’all. So happy I got to share this night with my Prom magkapatid, @gootzarama and @jamescalebgrice . And, just a gentle reminder: REPRESENTATION MATTERS. #theprommusical #openingnight #broadway #nationaltour #itstimetodance #unrulyheart #filipino #pinoy #pinay #filam #asian #itsanhonorjusttobeasian #asia #representation #representasian #representationmatters #philippines #filipinofashion #barongtagalog #terno #fashion #gay #queer #lgbtq #pride #proud #singer #dancer #actor #swingnation
