“Every time something like this comes up, naglalabasan ang lahat ng mga homophobic at nagpipiyesta sa mga negative comments kasama ng mga self righteous na may mga baong bible quotations. Tao lang ako at oo, binabasa ko ang mga comments nila. Dati umiiyak ako, lalo pag below the belt na ang mga sinasabi--yung tipong ipaparape nila kami o kaya titirahin nila ko para makatikim daw ako ng lalaki--- but napansin ko today...hindi na ko ganon kaapektado. Masakit pa rin yung iba pero mas natatawa ako sa mga sinasabi nila.
January 8 marks our first wedding anniversary dito sa Pilipinas. Maraming nangyari at marami kaming pinagdaanang mag-asawa para sa hangarin naming mamuhay ng normal katulad ng iba. I have evolved and matured as a human being. Mas naging compassionate ako at bukas sa pananaw ng iba. Natuto akong maging assertive kesa maging defensive pagdating sa mga ganitong usapin. But at the same time, mas lalo kong nakita ang kahalagahan ng ginawa namin para kilalanin ang karapatan ng mga LGBT dito sa PIlipinas. Nakakalungkot isipin how "religion" can lead to hatred, animosity and discrimination when our spirituality is supposed to enhance our lives and make us better persons.
Tsk tsk. 2016 na. Walang mawawala sa'yo kung rerespetuhin mo ang karapatan ng bawat isa.”
Liza used to work in the States. But she’s now based in Manila with her own acting career. She just appeared in the award-winning MIFF New Wave entry, “Toto” opposite Sid Lucero, and they were together again in a crucial scene in “Walang Forever”. She has finished another movie, “Ringo, the Dog Shooter” with Janice de Belen and Sandino Martin. She is now shooting “Dyamper”, a Sinag Maynila Filmfest entry in March, directed by Mes de Guzman where she goes a bit daring. She has also put up her own business, Adobo in a Jar, which comes from her being a certified chef.
