These are tv shows which have prominent gay characters. I watched the first five on dvd and the others on YouTube (thank God!).

It is sad that here in the Philippines, we rarely see shows with a gay character.

But then, this month’s ‘Your Song’ on ABSCBN finally has..not one but three gay characters and it IS centered on a gay storyline. From the first time I saw the teaser, I knew that I would glue myself to the television to watch this one. I’ve never been more excited about a show since the first book of ‘Maging Sino Ka Man’ (the second one was bleh!).



This month’s Your Song with the title “Without You” is a milestone in Philippine Television History. It’s the first time that the lead character is a clear representation and a more realistic portrayal of a gay man. The story is everything gay and it is a love story. The theme song is sung by Erik Santos which makes it even gayer!



Joross Gamboa is Bobby. Victor Basa is John. Cathy Gonzaga is Jen. Bobby likes John. John is Jen’s brother. Jen likes Bobby.

Bobby is a Culinary Arts graduate and the chef of their restaurant. John is a Law graduate who has already taken, and unfortunately, failed the Bar Exams twice so he needs to take it again. Jen happens to be the sweet, caring, and loving sister of John.
Bobby will do everything just to get John’s attention and Jen will not stop until she gets Bobby’s heart. She would always give gifts and bake something for Bobby.

Bobby confides his problems to his chef best friend (Lui Villaruz).



I applaud the writers for a great story.

Joross is amazing and very much TOO convincing that I have to wonder if he really is gay.

Lui Villaruz sucks as the best friend. Mediocre acting.

Victor Basa is okay. Not so good but not bad either.

Cathy Gonzaga is wonderful. Hilarious. Likeable.

This show has very memorable lines like:

“Janice is you” –Bobby to John (yung mga nanonood lang ang makaka-gets nito)

“Hindi kita puwedeng mahalin KASI MAHAL KA NG KAPATID ko.” –John to Bobby

Bobby: Ako muna
John: Hindi, ako muna

It’s hard to watch this show since it’s every Sunday and my sisters are all in the house and I find it very difficult to sneak and watch it without them raising an eyebrow. Damn!

The last episode is on Sunday. I don’t want it to end yet!
