BB Gandanghari hopes Pope's visit opens people's minds to LGBT community

MANILA, Philippines- BB Gandanghari looks forward for the arrival of Pope Francis in the Philippines on Thursday.

She sees the Pope as a symbol of peace, which she hopes each and everyone of us could have.

BB has also expressed his hope that the Papal visit could open the minds of some who still takes other sexual orientations negatively.

“I hope mabuksan din ang isip ng mga tao, 'yong mga sarado pa, na we really can't judge people,” she said in an interview on Tuesday. “Hindi ka puwedeng mayro'n kang dina-judge na tao kahit anuman ang orientation. So sana ito ang magig daan na maging mas bukas ang isip ng mga tao.”

Meanwhile, the Padilla siblings will work again in one project under TV5's upcoming sitcom “2 1/ 2 Daddies.”

BB said she remembers in this project their 1994 film “Mistah,” only this time they'll be doing a comedy show. It was conceptualized by BB and Rommel, and they later pitched to Robin who approved the story.

There were previous attempts for the three of them to be working together again, only they didn't push through.

“Baka kasi hindi nabubuo nang mabuti 'yong konsepto kaya hindi natutuloy,” BB explained. “Ito nagkataon na lahat kami solved sa konsepto, lahat kami okay, maganda naman lumabas 'yong script. Para kaming bumalik sa pagkabata na nag-aasaran.”

“2 1/ 2 Daddies” will start airing on January 24, 7 p.m.
