2 aktor namolestiya

Both born under the Capricorn sign whose letter initials are the same, masasabing at  one point in their romantic affair ay compatible ang dalawang aktor na ito. But beyond it was a serious parallelism.

It was  not until nagsimula na ang kanilang relas­yon back in the US nung mapagkuwentuhan nilang dalawa that they were both victims of sexual abuse by elder gay men.

For purposes of identification, tatawagin ko silang Actor A; the other Actor Z.

Sa edad palang nuwebe anyos ay minolestiya umano si Actor A ng kanyang gay uncle. Name it, sari-saring pang-aabusong sekswal ang sinapit niya. Pero sa murang edad nga niya, he hardly knew what sexual abuse was. Nito lang daw nang magkaisip siya, na-realize niya that the incident may have led to his preference for the same sex.

Agad namang naka-relate ang dyowa niyang si Actor Z, that time, katatapos lang daw nilang magniig ni Actor A. Actor Z was eight years old, uncircumsized, pero nakatikim na rin daw siya ng pang-aabuso in the hands of a gay family friend in his mid-30’s.

Tumagal daw ang episode na ‘yon until he turned 12, kung saan hindi na raw masikmura ni Actor A ang ginagawa sa kanya.

Both Actor A and Z claim they are the only ones who know about their tales. Sa aspeto ngang ‘yon lalo silang naging malapit sa isa’t isa. Nalagas man ang kanilang murang edad sa mga pangyayaring ‘yon, at least one of them strives to make his life complete.

Now na, today na! Speaking of making complete your viewing pleasure, beginning today na ang airing ng nagbabalik na Gobingo hosted by Arnel Ignacio.

Teka, hindi ba siya si Actor A I was referring to in my previous item? Sorry, Arnel, this time, is the  molester! Paglalaruan lang naman niya ang mga studio contestants sa nasabing interactive game show na ito!

But another teka, si Kris Aquino ang katapat ni Arnel, how will the latter fare.

Anyway, I’m happy for  this once-prodigal GMA talent. Inamin din naman kasi ni Arnel na nagkamali siya. For me, it was an understatement. Instead of seeing the greener grass on the other side of the fence, it turned out grimmer. New lease on career, huwag ka na mag-take 2, Arnel!
