Inilantad ni Angelina ‘Angie’ Mead King ang transformation niya bilang transgender sa Instagram (IG) kahapon.

Ipinost ni Angie ang picture niya noong isa pa siyang ganap na lalaki. Katabi nito ang isa pa niyang picture bilang transgender.

Say ni Angie, “Yesterday was the Transgender Day of Visibility and I wanted to share my experiences so far even if I am a day late. It’s been 10 years since my coming out and I am more than grateful for my rebirth. From seeing my old photos, I truly am lucky to be living my best life at this moment.

“Before I came out, I would describe my situation as having two operating systems like Android OS vs Mac OS. It was truly confusing and mentally draining on what program was going to run in my brain and from my older photos I can see lots of my half smiles and unsureness.”

Pero nawala raw ang pag-aalinlangan niya noong nag-out na siya dahil sa pagmamahal at suporta ng kanyang pamilya, mga kaibigan at iba pa.

“That all went away when I came out and I had the love and support of my friends, family, work and all of you who follow me today. Today I have clarity and I always feel like I have the ability to do almost anything I put my heart to,” lahad ni Angie.

Kung wala raw love and acceptance, baka raw may masamang nangyari na sa kanya.

“I would have probably spiralled into chaos so thank you to all those beautiful people who sent and shared positivity,” diin niya.

Sa huli ng kanyang mensahe sa IG post niya, hinikayat niya ang mga gaya niya na may ganitong pinagdaraanan ngayon na lumapit sa mga professional.

“If you’re experiencing gender or body dysmorphia, please talk to a professional as being heard will help clear your journey. And remember it's never too late to start. Have a blessed day all,” sabi pa ni Angie.

Maraming celebrities ang sumang-ayon at sumuporta kay Angie kabilang na si Angel Locsin. Ini-like ni Angel ang IG post ni Angie.

Ilan sa mga celebrities na nag-comment sa IG post ni Angie ay sina Angel Aquino, Amanda Griffin, Marc Nelson at ang partner ni Angie na si Joey Mead.

“Love this, Sis (Angie),” comment ni Marc.

Reaksiyon naman ni Amanda, “Love you, Angie. It’s been so wonderful to see you living your life so true to yourself and witness the freedom and joy that has come with it.”

Sigaw naman ni Angel, “Here’s to living out your truth!”

Sabeee!

Idineklara ng utol, pinalagan… LOTLOT: WALANG LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT SI NORA NA SI IAN ANG SOLONG TAGAPAGMANA

Naglabas ng official statement si Lotlot de Leon bilang reaksiyon sa pahayag ni Ian de Leon na ‘sole heir’ siya ng kanilang ina, ang National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts at Superstar na si Nora Aunor.

Sa mismong araw ng first death anniversary ng ina, nagpakawala ng kanyang saloobin si Lotlot sa pamamagitan ng kanyang abogado na si Atty. Mark Julius Estur.

Nilinaw ng legal counsel ni Lotlot na wala raw kinalaman ang kanyang kliyente sa pagiging tagapamahala ni Ian sa estate ng kanilang ina.

Ayon sa legal counsel ni Lotlot, “To dispel any speculations and doubt, Ms. de Leon was not in any way and in any capacity involved or consulted in the establishment of a One Person Corporation (OPC) for both a foundation and an enterprise in honor of Ms. Nora Aunor which Mr. Ian de Leon has mentioned in his interview.

“In fact, it is our view that a foundation cannot be established through an OPC legally. Any statement of attribution to Ms. de Leon is misleading and a false representation. She has not participated in the founding, management or fundraising efforts of the OPCs that Mr. Ian de Leon has established and that her personal charitable efforts remain focused elsewhere.”

Idine-deny din ng kampo ni Lotlot ang sinabi ni Ian sa interbyu na sa kabila ng pagiging ‘sole heir’ niya, kasama pa rin daw ang kanyang mga kapatid sa mga plano ng enterprise and foundation.

“Our client denies such statement as insofar as she is concerned, she was not consulted and simply informed at the very least of any participation or plans for the administration of their mother’s estate. To our client’s knowledge, there is no Last Will and Testament executed assigning sole administration and authority to the estate of their mother,” paglilinaw ng abogado ni Lotlot.

Hindi raw after sa inheritance o pamana ni Nora si Lotlot.

Saad ng abogado ni Lotlot, “She has stepped away completely and this was a conscious and respectful decision after Mr. Ian de Leon chose to take full responsibility for all legal matters.”

Matagal na raw naitayo ni Lotlot at ng iba pang kapatid ang foundation at na-inform daw si Ian tungkol dito beforehand. Katunayan, nag-express pa raw si Ian ng suporta sa foundation. Kaya lang, sa bandang huli ay itinanggi na raw ito ni Ian.

“It was deeply hurtful and difficult to understand on our client’s end when, after the foundation’s YouTube (YT) channel and Facebook (FB) page were made public, he denied knowledge of the same. Ian de Leon and our client have no communication since.

“Ms. de Leon has remained silent before out of respect for their mother and to avoid further conflicts during an already difficult time. But that silence has been misunderstood. Our client will not allow her name to be dragged into something she is not a part of, or used in a way that does not reflect the truth.

“Our client stands independently and refuses to be part of a false narrative. We ask the public and media to kindly ensure that her name is not used in association with Mr. Ian de Leon's efforts. No further comments on this matter shall be made.

“Today is National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts, the late Ms. Nora Aunor's first death anniversary. Let us continue to honor her memories and remember her with love. We extend our sincere gratitude to the public for the continued love and support for Ms. Nora Aunor. Her legacy will continue to live on through those whose lives she has touched.

“Ms. Lotlot de Leon shall continue to honor her mother's memory privately, truthfully and in her own way,” salaysay pa ng abogado ni Lotlot.

Noong isang araw, may hiwalay na pa-misa si Lotlot de Leon sa simbahan para kay Nora Aunor kasama ang iba pang adopted children nito. Habang si Ian de Leon ang punong-abala sa first memorial anniversary ng kanyang ina sa Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Out na ang trailer ng inaabangang serye ng Ultimate Leading Man na si Enrique Gil at Gen Z Queen Andrea Brillantes, ang A Secret in Prague (ASIP) sa TV5.

Excited na ang mga faney nina Enrique at Andrea na mapanood ang first-ever project nila together. Ang daming reaction ng mga netizens sa trailer.

Sey ng mga nakapanood:

“So excited for AndiRique (fire emoji).”

“OMG! (Oh, my God!) My Gen Z queen (Andrea).”

“May aabangan na naman ako gabi-gabi.”

“Grabe, trailer pa lang, bongga na.”

“Nakaka-miss, buti bumalik na siya ulit mag-series. Enrique (heart emoji).”

“Iba talaga @enriquegil17 (crying emoji).”

“I love this! Comedy is really Quen’s genre. Romance only comes second. Been missing this side of him.”

“Series are Quen's strength. His acting skills are better seen for months than in one-time viewing. He always shines whenever he's had to portray a character because he embraces them.”

Shookt din ang mga netizens sa ganda ng pinagkunan ng mga eksena ng serye sa Prague.

“Prague is indeed a hidden gem of Europe. Ang ganda-ganda ru’n!”

Sey ng isang fan, “KyleDrea (Kyle at Andrea) fan here, but I’m going to support this Quendrea (Enrique at Andrea) teleserye.”

Ang ASIP ay sumasalamin sa mundong puno ng lihim at panganib. At may isang tanong na hihingi ng sagot—pag-ibig ba o pangarap?

Tunghayan ang kuwentong hahamon sa puso at ambisyon nina Mikoy at Chiara.

Mula sa TV5 Entertainment at Slingshot Studios ang kauna-unahang seryeng pagtatambalan nina Enrique at Andrea.

Simula na ito ngayong April 27, 8 PM sa TV5.

Hopia ang mga fans nina Enrique at Andrea na maipalabas din sa Netflix ang A Secret in Prague.

“Damn! Quen and Blythe! (fire emoji) I hope na ipapalabas ‘to sa Netflix!”

“Yes po, ipapalabas s’ya soon.”
