Hello, i'm the director and writer of this film. I've seen some harsh comments about the actors/actresses and i just want to say- THIS WAS JUST FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT, AND THEY ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL ACTORS/ACTRESSES. Everyone who portrayed in this film are just my friends 😂 we apologize if you think their acting is "cringey" or did not met your standards because honestly we didn't expect this to have this many views lol Still, thank y'all for watching and SML to those who appreciates it!

[@johnlloyddayawon8890]

Maganda po pag kakakuha ng palabas.. 😊😊 medyo mataray lamg po actors actress hehe.. Pero mahirap yun . Kaya proud ako sainyo mga ate kuya 😊😊

[@eugenemorales5136]

May i know the title of the song ? Tnx

[@jasonsvlog1820]

Hahaha those girls that speaks english is so annoying trying so hard

[@juneramos2049]

Yun bakla na character yun ladlad pwede na mag actor

[@daggieslovelovea1520]

Airish Vitales but i like this film nakkaaproud

[@jovalmondiguing7456]

I will not judge the acting, but the message of this video is what matters most. :) Amazing!!!

[@longseab7784]

i salute the entire team for bringing up this kind of short film.. it tackles a lot of issues about LGBT. from family to their environment.. sobrang happy ko coz of this...

[@jay-rdelapam6744]

For me, ang gagaling Nilang umakting, ung mga taong nag cocoment lang na hindi maganda kasi nga ang kikitid nang utak nila hindi nila ramdam ang hardest nang ginawa ng mga grupong ito. Good job guys!

[@juliusangelolg]

A pinoy short film that has the guts to relay the message of acceptance for the people of all colors. Kudos! I really like how the actors portray their roles. God bless.

[@calixlee1637]

Sa wakas, nahanap ko rin 'to! This short film was my childhood hahaha. Nostalgia at its finest!

[@allenramirez4118]

ANIMO LA SALLE!!!I just loved how they showcase the true meaning of BEING HONEST especially to yourself..

[@roimanaog]

Slow clap dun sa 3 main role: Alex, Ethan and Stacey. Galing umarte kahit sa simpleng video lang na to. Nice story. 👏👏

[@elizaldeb.ruizjr.5141]

Haysst relate ako dto.. all I can say is “I am proud of being me, being BISEXUAL” All we need is LOVE and RESPECT not being JUDGE by a one mistake. At least kami my pakinabang d tulad ng iba jan na puro lait lng ang alam wla nmang napapatunayan sa mga magulang. Bullying is a crime right.. and also if you want respect from others repect them first.. ❤️

[@jherbyjose1827]

Kahit medyo OA ung acting!! I really love the story

[@landz3097]

this short story is great marami talaga tao mga mapang husga hindi naman nanatin maiiwasan yan pero kung wala kang ginagawa masama sa iba wag kang matakot at kung meron ka talaga totoo kaibigan andiyan sila para tumulong sayo pag may problem ka khit ano pa yan and ang family kahit ano ka pa mahal ka niyang hindi tayo iiwan ng family natin i hope sa iba naka panuod nito wag tayo matakot kung ano mang ang nararamdaman niyo sasarili niyo yun lang this short movie is the best

[@RuelsCreation]

My part 2 po? Hehe ganda ng kwento eh.. sna s part 2 my lovelyf n cla...

[@AirishVitales]

Omg! Hahaha thank you! I'm really thinking of doing part 2, for thesis kasi 'to pero let's see kung mag-kaka-lovelife na sila :)

[@madzzzjog832]

i love it!! the way they express parang totoo.. and oo nga naman ehh ano kung bakla sila,, to be gay is not a choise its a influince

[@eybuban6064]

Hayss 7 years single, kaylan ko kaya makikita ang forever ko 🙄🙄😍😍

[@Steffilicheon]

I love how the story runs, it really reflects to what kind of society we are now facing. I guess "OA" is not the right term for the actors but they're lacking conviction.. Pero keri lang :0 nairaos nman ng mahusay! Thumbs up dahlingg!

[@markjosephtigue7003]

Be yourself and let only God judge you! You can't please everyone. If they can't accept you for who you are, so be it. Mahal ka ng Diyos! #ProudMemberofLGBTQ

[@markramos1449]

wow.. its a nice film.. kahit nakakabitin, kahit na oa nga ung pagkakadeliver ng mga lines... natawa ako at the same time... im so proud sa mga dady out there na tanggap nila kung ano man ang pagkatao ng mga anak nila... ang importante masaya ang anak nila and as a father need talaga nila intindihin yung mga anak nila. bilang anak naman kailangan pag tanggap ka ng iyong ama. ipakita mo rin na dapat kang irespeto ng ibang tao tulad ng pagtanggap sayo ng tatay mo para mas maging proud pa sa iyo ang buong angkan mo. napaka sarap sa pakiramdam na hindi kaman tanggap ng buong mundo.. nandyan naman ang mga kaibigan at pamilya mo na alam mong tanggap ka ng buong buo. sana may part two.. tapos each character ipakita yung mga strugles nila before naging successful sa kanilang mga buhay...

[@luisarcayan7950]

Galing... Sana maka sali ako sa next sequel ... Good job!

[@cyrexbeaux2291]

i Love the story.. ngayon ko lanv napanood.. Ethan dont worry i feel you.. push pa sa acting guys.. hehe

[@josephbognot4557]

Ganda po ng story... Kung ako tatanungin lk lng my bakla o tomboy s mundo....Ang mahalaga ay wlang ginagawang masama at totoo sa sarili at iba...Ganda talaga ng story..I will share it to my lesbian friend.

[@anonymousbeki1447]

Ang ganda ang story. Aylabet. Part 2 please! Anyway, cute si ethan huh.

[@peterjonesdelacruz]

This video sends a powerful message. It only shows our society isn't gay friendly yet. I know a lot of young LGBT people who have to hide their true identities for the fear of embarrassment and humiliation. But one big problem about this video screams into my face. We're again presented a stereotype of the "bakla" or gay guy. Gay doesn't always mean being a flamboyant femme. Also, Ethan's dad considers Ethan a girl when he's gay, a guy who is attracted to other guy, not guy who wants to crossdress as this video tries to imply. Please let's all do away with this stereotype.

[@jledits6854]

The ending is so iconic amazing brothers and sisters love the short film💗

[@juzcar3244]

Good movie. Thank you for sharing it.

[@jaimemetaquair7600]

wow..... ang ganda sobra.. bat ngayon ko lang to nakita

[@benjiecustodio1180]

Thanks sa short film nato Relate ako dto . Dahil sa ganito ako o mabigat Lang sa loob ko dahil sa mga taong hino husgahan pag katao ko. Dman ako ladlad pero ganon din masakit parin.

[@adrianian2217]

Hindi porket bakla kami eh gusto na namin lahat ng lalakeng naglalakad sa mundo, hindi porket gwapo eh gusto narun namin. Tapos yung mga panget pa ang malakas ang loob na magsabi na baka habol sila. WE HAVE STANDARDS!

[@itsyoursmj]

Dont Judge Anyone Kung Ano Man Ang Pagkatao nila dahil parepareho lang naman tayong binigyan ng buhay ng panginoon eh. pero hindi binigyang buhay ng panginoon ang mga tao para lang manira ng pagkatao ng iba.

[@raymundodelacernaiii9423]

Tama Dapat ipag-laban din natin yung ating Sarili at wag na wag tayo mag papah api !

[@kyriellesaysan8835]

relate much.....thanks sa ga upload sa video..

[@JohnPaul-cu6jr]

i love this vid...galing!

[@kennethjacinto924]

I love the video. Tao rin ang mga bakla hindi dapat minamaliit o pinapahiya kapawa tao rin nagin sila. Nasasaktan sila sa mga sinasabi ng mga taong AY BAKLA siya! ATLEAST PROUD NYANG SINASABING BAKLA AKO! PARANG BABAE DIN ANG BAKLA DAPAT MINAMAHAL O DI KAYA NIRERESPETO. 4 THUMBS UP. ☺

[@sevenmendiola5246]

I like the film... medyo OA lang yung acting nung iba and parang hindi sila comfortable in front of the camera. Nakakainis yung mga characters na hate yung gay and lesbian lalo na nung those arrogant boys na nag hate na kay nathan kasi gay siya. Sabi HATERS gonna HATE. Tama yung sabi nung Stace na pabayaan ang mga nang aapi, stay humble, throw your pride kasi sabon yun at hindi ugali. Magiging successful ang lahat pag stay humble lang and always trust in GOD. He will make a way naman. Well we all that those personalities has their purpose why they live in this world like that so we don't have any right to judge them instead look for their right side and let's be proud of them unless they are doing wrong. A big thumbs up about the concept of this film. Ang ganda nung story.

[@EljunCarlet]

ENGLISH is real .. kapatid ko tomboy pero dahil mahal Na mahal ko sya tanggap ko sya dahil WAla akong karapatan para humosga..

Naks 2years ago na pala to. Ngayon ko lang napanuod. Thanks making this video para sating LGBTQ. Be out and Proud. Nice din sa mga gumanap sa palabas. May mga trying hard lang sa pag english aheh. But its okey at may mga linyang dalawang isip pa kung tama ba sasabihin aheh. Pansin ko lang. Pero Nakakatuwa. Galing galing... I am part of LGBTQ community also. And im so proud of it. Sabe nga. -EH ANO KUNG BAKLA AKO.? 😂💪👊

[@dendrew680]

So true. Being gay is not a choice... kaya lang tayo masyado gina judge ng society dahil din s pinaggagawa natin. Yong mag mag dress ng pambabae or maglilipstick pa. Im gay and i dress properly like straight men and i gained respect from my family, friends, co worker and even s church.

[@JoashReyes]

Nice one @Irish Joyce Vitales.. Galing mo.. Miss you classmate.. God bless..

[@virayjosephrhandfernandez8228]

I relate this film #nagpipigil...#friendship.... Bakit kasi meron at merong rao ang ndi marunong tumanggap LGBT bakit ano ba kasing ginawang Mali ng isang LGBT sa ibang tao Nakakainis LNG dahil napakadaming insecure...napakadami ding judgemental.... Bakit kasi ang hirap sa ibang tao ang tumanggap ......kasalanan ba kasi ng isang tao kung magihing LGBT sya

[@chydgaf]

Magiging successful ang lahat pag stay humble lang and always trust in GOD. Sa lahat ng bagay wag lang talaga papaepekto at iintindihin ang mga tao.

[@victorinoalonfrigillana4584]

I like the story dahil hindi fake magpakatotoo ka sa sarili dahil lalabas at lalabas din kung ano ka Tama o mali

[@jamellaestremadora1013]

Ganda ng film 😬 Nakaka relate ako lalo na nung sa part na inaasar si ethan kasi nanunuod si Alex. Wala na lang ako magawa eh kaso straight guy talaga siya unlike ethan na bi pala :)

[@strigoikin1]

Hindi po sa pananalita Ng Ingles ang pinupunto Ng short film na Ito. Yung istorya po mismo intindihin. Gets ko po yung point nung mga inis s mga sinasabi nilang “trying hard” yung mga girls dito s short film. Ang point is acceptance, friendships, and peace of mind.

[@phillipjohnlopez1522]

Ang daming magagaling na actors and actresses dito... grabe kung maka criticize... hahaha...

[@clarencecortez5942]

Tanginaaaa sinong writers nito sobrang ganda relate na relate ako omg ❤ #lgbtpower #POWER❤

[@johnmicolamputi6679]

when they are Making a Project film They must need to Focus in the title why They are Also TACKLING about lesbians if the movie is all about gay's. Indeed I love This Film it really happens in real situations actually 😊

[@RamilsAdventure]

An eye opener to all people who always judge the gender identity. Being a homosexual is not a sin. The important is u as a human treat equal.

[@melvindelmonte3882]

[@fidellegaspi6218]

[@pandacoco8212]

dont be too harsh to gay people, tao din kami nakakaramdam din kami nang takot at lungkot like normal people do..you gain nothing for hating us..

[@joshuaasuncion4534]

Sad Reality😢..... btw ang ganda ng concept

[@simpleman2511]

Buksan ang kamalayan sa mga napapanahong isyu.... Maging kasangkapan nawa ang paggawa ng mga pelikulang ito upang maipahatid sa madla ang tunay na isyu na kinakaharap ng bansa.

[@vhinzokenAd]

okey naman ang story hindi lang nabigyan ng hustisya ang writer. Negative feedback to Director. sa mga artist good job kaso halos lahat hindi marunong mag execute ng character. pero congrats nadin guys kasi ginawa nyo padin sa abot ng inyong makakaya.

[@lynventura5745]

Sana May movie ganito Para malaman ng lahat hindi kasalaan ang pagiging Bakla at lesbian o Gay Sana matanggap sila sa mundo

[@aceslion736]

c'mon it's not a choice being gay or lesbian ... Hindi nila kasalan yun. sadyang ipinanganak silang ganun.. :D hehe nice short film :D

[@Iconolast-rg9gm]

Awwts na touch ako sa dulo!

[@122-k2k]

Ganda po ng movie 🙂🙂

[@joeandersen2279]

I think I'm in the same situation with Ethan. I'm still searching for my sexual identity, bi or gay, I don't know. I get attracted to girls and boys at the same time. I can't even tell my parents my real sexuality, and even to my best friends. I'm also suspecting that my best friend is also bisexual because I see something similar with us, a so gay actions. I'm actually a discreet. No one knows except me because it's not obvious as others.

[@psychomantis8015]

TO BE FAIR, SI ATENG ADVISOR LANG MAGALING GALING. (Bestfriend girl)

[@ismaelaresandres7506]

hindi dapat hinahayaan ang "bullying" sa school. Dapat talaga magkaroon ng policy na ipagbawal ito nang mabawasan ang pangaapi sa mg LGBT.

[@cholie992]

i just wanted to say that just because we're homosexuals doesn't always mean we want to be the other gender either uwu
