It’s common knowledge that Jon had a same sex marriage with Italian-American Samuel “Wes” Stewart in Canada. “Seven years na kami and going strong,” he says. So what can he say about the raging controversy on the issue? “Naku, mahirap magbigay ng opinion diyan. Mga experts talaga ang dapat magtalo diyan, lawmakers, e I’m not an expert naman. Kasi baka may rights denied sa ibang countries na dito naman sa atin, hindi. Like, sa abroad, di puede sa ICU or ER ang hindi mo direct relative. Dito sa’tin, wala namang ganun. But I believe everyone should be given equal rights and opportunities to pursue their own happiness.”
Did they have a pre-nup? “No, pero meron kaming joint account na kaming dalawa at meron kaming joint account with our respective moms.”
