Joed Serrano withdrew his Senate candidacy in the last election. Why?
“Kasi, naramdaman ko, kahit marami tayong bakla, parang hindi nagkakaisa,” sabi ng actor-producer na si Joed nitong Disyembre 5, 2022, Lunes, sa Winford Resorts and Casino, Manila.
“Parang mapapahiya ako na, feeling ko, magkakaisa ang mga bakla? Parang hindi, e.
“At saka parang inisip ko nung time na yun, nagpapakabayani ako para sa mga bakla pero sila, hindi naman yata ako susuportahan. Deadma na lang to the highest level.
“Parang… o, sige, kanya-kanya na lang tayo. Tutulong na lang ako in my own little way.”
Is he concerned that others will not take him seriously?
“Feeling ko nung time na yun, ahh… hindi sa ayaw seryosohin. It’s just that akala nila, dahil ma-candid ako, ma-joke ako, akala nila, nagbibiro pa rin ako,” Joed stated.
“But I took that advice from Ogie Diaz. I felt the love of Ogie Diaz, even si Mommy Cristy Fermin. Kahit na galit siya na sinasabi niya, ‘Hindi ka mananalo!’
“Kasi ayaw lang niya talaga ako na sumabak sa pulitika, na-appreciate ko yun. Why? Because it’s for my own good.
“Lalo na ngayon na merong inaanak ako na sobrang mahal ko, ayokong ma-drag siya into politics. So, somehow ginabayan din ako ni Lord,” he continued.
Joed’s Godfather Productions, by the way, is producing Toni Gonzaga’s 20th anniversary concert, “I Am Toni,” which will take place on January 20, 2023, at the Araneta Coliseum.
Toni’s mother, Mommy Pinty, co-produced it.
Joed also produced Sean de Guzman’s debut film, Anak ng Macho Dancer. Joed is proud of Sean’s two best actors and his subsequent projects.
He still intends to produce Matinee Idol, the film that will launch Charles Nathan.
Joed said, “Si Miko Pasamonte, hindi na siya naghuhubad. Active siya sa church, born-again talaga siya.
“Si Ricky Gumera ang alam ko, nagdyowa, nag-asawa. Nagpakasal na yata.
“Si Mhack Morales, tuloy pa rin, with Vivamax yata.
“Ang nasa akin na lang, si Charles. Kasi sa akin galing ang pangalan. And he’s still gonna do Matinee Idol.”
Why was only Charles left?
“Yung totoo? The fact na hindi ko naka-sėx yun, ha?”
“Dun sa lima? Isa lang, e. Yung ini-expect niyo na si Miko Pasamonte, hindi, ha?! Kahit binigyan ko yun ng house and lot, wala!” Joed eclaimed.
“Walang sėx yun. Kaya ko yun, magbigay na walang sėx, ano ba?!”
