BTS ARMY's in the Philippines Celebrate Namjoon's Birthday by Helping Less Privileged Children

To celebrate the birthday BTS Kim Namjoon a.k.a. Rap Monster, ARMY fandom in the Philippines helps the less privileged children in one of the impoverished areas of the country.


Over 70 children were fed with spaghetti and bread through the generous effort of ARMY's through a solidarity project called #OneLoveNamjoonProject.

Although the project was conducted during a weekend in the Philippines, many international ARMY's recognized the efforts of the Filipino ARMY's through tweets.

The project is a testament of the ARMY's dedication in helping not just in spreading the awareness of Kpop superstars and their music but also to show that the fandom is not just about being committed in helping BTS but also to pay forward whatever blessings they have received to other people.

Spreading the love and by loving oneself have become mantras of the BTS fandom noting the comeback album of the group entitled Love Yourself: Her.

The should-be gay bars in Cebu

Gay bars in Cebu are known to be mostly strip clubs with young men called go-go boys dancing provocatively to win the hearts of their audience.  Macho dancer is a more popular term for a go-go boy in the Philippines. They are mostly young with muscular or toned bodies and attractive. The handsome lads of the crop of macho dancers get the most wow from the audience while those who manage to impress have the bodies or the "asset". But there is irony in having these strip clubs known as gay bars in the Philippines, especially in Cebu. A gay bar should be a hangout place for gays, not for supposedly gay yet straight dancers who cater to gay and women clientele for a night or a "short-time". It is mostly seen as a male-whore club than a place for hook-ups.  With the relabeling of gay bars in Cebu into male entertainment clubs, the public would now have an idea what kind of club they want to go for hook-ups. Because really, desperate old gay men go to gay bar...

Rustom Padilla's transformation to BB Gandanghari: A stunt to prolong his fame

Image
I still remember when I was 11 when I had a calendar on the wall with pictures of celebrities under contract with Viva. Sharon Cuneta was the biggest star of Viva Films at that time. Next to her was Rustom Padilla, the younger brother of Robin Padilla. It would have been Robin Padilla but the Philippines' celebrated bad boy was spending his time in jail.  Rustom Padilla was a big star during the 1990's. I still remember my titas giggling whenever they got a glimpse of Rustom. Rustom and Carmina's love team at that time was very popular. Their beautiful looks which are eerily almost the same attributed their hit love team during the early to mid 1990's until their secret marriage. Rustom was the male fantasy of the 90's aside from Aga Muhlach and Richard Gomez. They were the three leading men of that decade with Rustom the biggest matinee idol of Viva Films while Richard Gomez and Aga Muchlach alternated between Star Cinema and Regal Films.

Gay bars featuring male dancing gigolos are dying in Cebu

I am a fan of Queer as Folks US and I like how the show portrays different gay lifestyles. There is no one uniform gay lifestyle. As the colors of rainbow are many, so are the types of gay and their lifestyles. And one of the differences in gay lifestyle is the different gay bars shown on QaF. There is the billiards and pub-like gay bar in which gay and even straight, though few, patrons can hang out and be themselves. And there is also thump-thumping, ray lights-abound gay bar where the gays go dance and, again, be themselves. I prefer both. Here in Cebu, the site for gays to be like owls and dance like wolves is now  in Mango Square area. Numero Doce and Alchology have now been perceived as gay bars but they are more prescribed as M2M bars. Why is that? I believe that the term gay bar is originally meant for a watering hole with male dancers in skimpy suits (and sometimes none). Actually, if I base it on QaF, these guys are go-go boys or strippers and are parading se...
