‘I’m straight as an arrow’ – Bimby!

Sinagot na ni Bimby Aquino-Yap ang noon pang ibinabatong akusasyon sa kanya ng mga basher na gay siya. Mismong ang ina niyang si Kris Aquino ang nagtanong nito sa kanya sa isang heart to heart talk/interview ng mother and son recently.

Bilang nag-14 na nga si Bimby, Kris decided na magkaroon sila ng Q&A video kung saan ay sasagutin nila ang mga katanungan ng bawat isa. Aniya ay last hurrah na raw ito dahil lilimitahan na nga raw niya ang exposure ng mga anak sa social media.

In-upload ni Kris sa kanyang Facebook page ang 2-part video ng usapan nilang mag-ina.

When it was Kris’ turn to ask matapang niyang tinanong sa anak kung ano ang nararamdaman nito kapag nababasa nito ang mga comments saying he’s gay.

 “Wala, I don’t really feel anything,” sagot ni Bimb, “I just feel like sige, if you think I’m gay, alright, dude. But you do realize na gay community in the Philippines is a strong community.”

Diretsahang sinabi ni Bimby na straight siya and not gay.

 “It did not go through my mind coz I know what I am. I’m straight, I’m straight as an arrow,” he said.

Tanong ni Kris, “are you sure?” and added, “because, I wanna bring this out also, whatever you are, I’ll accept.”

 Sabi ulit ni Bimb, “I’m as straight as one of our iPads. iPads are straight.”

Sey naman ni Kris, “no, because I really don’t care, honestly. Whatever you choose to be, it will be fine with me for as long as you excel.”

Dagdag pa niya ulit, “if you’re going to be gay or whatever you’re going to be, you better be the best at the profession you choose.”

Nilinaw din pareho ng mag-ina na love nila ang gays.

Tinanong ni Kris ang anak kung kinuwestiyon na ba nito ang sarili about this at mabilis na sagot ni Bimby, “no, not at all.”

Tanong ulit ni Kris, “so, you like girls?” and he answered, “I love girls.”

Once and for all ay nilinaw ni Bimby, “I’ll set the record straight, I’m straight, I like women, I don’t like boys.”

Paga-assure naman ni Kris sa anak, “you know, Bimb, whatever you choose to be, it’s none of their business, okay?”

Para naman kay Bimby, may karapatan naman daw ang mga tao na magsabi ng kanilang opinyon.

 “They’re entitled to their opinion on what they think about me, just as long as you don’t attack me. If you say, ‘I think Bimb is gay,’ I’ll respect that. I’ll say, ‘No, I’m not gay.’ But if you say, ‘Beki si Bimb, kadiri!’ That’s wrong.

“As long as you debate with someone at may respeto ka sa tao, okay lang, sure. If you have different opinions, okay lang ‘yan, sure,” pahayag ni Bimb.

Sa caption ni Kris ay sinabi niyang ipinagdadasal pa rin niya na dumating ang tamang lalaki sa buhay nila para naman maramdaman ng mga anak niya ang magkaroon ng buong pamilya.

“Hindi pa huli ang lahat- i still pray a good man will come into our lives so my 2 will know what having a father who will accept them and just be there for them and show them that a nuclear FAMILY- a simple, regular, away from the limelight one is possible. They deserve to experience that. All in God’s time...” Kris wrote.
