Reema Padilla, younger sister of the Prodigal Son of Showbiz, Rustom Padilla went public in tonight’s show to support to her younger brother’s coming out.
“At first, hindi ko pa matanggap but eventually natanggap ko rin. I’m happy for him,” she told host Toni Gonzaga when asked for her reaction regarding Rustom’s declaration that he’s gay.
Showbiz friends also showed their support to Rustom. Award winning director Jose Javier Reyes said, “I admire his courage and honesty. He has become an icon for his honesty.” This was the same words that Buzz host Boy Abunda relayed to Rustom. “Rustom has a lot of honesty. He dances to his own music.”
Even Rustom’s non-showbiz bestfriend, Yoyah Quizon, was willing to be interviewed to show her support. “I always tell Rustom there is dignity in being gay.”
The Aftermath
The show also featured what happened to Rustom after his confession to Keanna. Rustom woke up, not feeling well and suffering from a bad hangover. His friends, Keanna and John were alarmed and came to his bedside. Big Brother summoned Rustom and asked him how he is and Rustom requested for an acupuncture treatment. Big Brother ordered that Rustom take some medicines and be given the entire day to rest.
Before midday, Rustom seemed alright and resumed dancing the ‘Sikat ang Pinoy’ task. He even joked once in awhile with Keanna and his team mates during the challenge. Rustom appeared normal up until Big Brother asked him to go to the confession room together with his now best friend, Keanna.
Inside the confession room, Rustom admitted that he had feared that Keanna would no longer accept him and Keanna feared for Rustom saying that many people may not understand him.
The two had become so close that Keanna even joked that Rustom should marry her. Rustom laughed and answered, “Nako-confuse na naman ako!”
