Ogie Diaz does not let uninvited comments about him being a hǒmosexual parent impact his family, dismissing individuals who question his ability as a father.
The comedian, who has five children, addressed the issue when actor-TV presenter Luis Manzano asked him about individuals who question their family structure, as seen in a video on Manzano’s YouTube channel on Wednesday, July 19.
“Sila ‘yung may problema, hindi naman kami,” Diaz answered. “Minsan may mga [nagtatanong], ‘Anak mo? Lima anak mo? Biological?’ Minsan nabu-buwisit ako sa ganyan e,” Diaz answered. “Kine-kwestiyon nila ‘yung kapasidad ko na magkaanak.”
Diaz then expressed gratitude for the fact that he and his children are proud of one another. He also recalled a time when one of his kids was questioned whether Diaz was her father, to which she proudly replied, “Yes.”
“Wala sa mga anak ko na nalungkot, lumuha dahil binu-bully sila na bakla ang tatay nila. Surprisingly, walang gano’n,” he said. “Talagang proud sila na ako tatay nila, na si Ogie Diaz ang tatay nila.”
“Ang ipinagpapasalamat ko sa mga anak ko ay hindi sila naging suwail at hindi sila ‘yung tipong bata na big deal sa kanila kung ano ‘yung pagkatao ng tatay nila,”
