- Paolo Ballesteros on revealing his sexual orientation
- Maine Mendoza featured him in the ‘Humans of Barangay’ launch
- His words in Humans of Barangay was praised and supported by netizens
Paolo Ballesteros sexual orientation is still a huge question mark. Nobody really knows since he doesn’t want to talk about it. He is one of the hosts in “Eat Bulaga” and part of the ‘Juan for All: All for Juan’ segment.
The host is also known to play gay and transgender roles in several projects both in cinema and television.
In 2017, he revealed a part of his sexual orientation by revealing his same-sex relationship. However, this revelation is still a big blur on who Paolo really is.
Meanwhile, Maine Mendoza has found a new advocacy by establishing the ‘Humans in Barangay’ Facebook Page that shares the unique and inspirational stories of Filipino lives. Her inspiration came from Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York.
During the launch of Humans of Barangay, Maine posted stories of her three “Eat Bulaga” co-host including Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo, and Paolo Ballesteros.
In her post, she quoted Paolo’s words: “Ang paglaladlad personal choice yan, hindi yun maididikta ng kahit sino, lalo na ng society na ginagalawan mo. Just take your time, kahit mga 100 years pa yan, ikaw ang bahala. Kasi ikaw ang magbubukas ng sarili mong “closet”, hindi ibang tao.”
Netizens respect Paolo’s decision of secrecy. They believe that Paolo is not hurting anyone with his secret and totally agrees with his phrase, “Ikaw ang magbubukas ng sarili mong “closet”, hindi ibang tao.”
