Zoren, tinanong si Mavy noon: “Straight ka ba o hindi?” | Gandang Gabi, Vice!

Remember those days when you had to ask your parents for permission before going out, especially if your outfit was a little too daring for their liking? Well, when we become adults, we can already make those decisions ourselves. But, what if the tables turned and our parents suddenly needed our approval before stepping out of the house?

The Legaspis—Zoren, Carmina, Mavy and Cassy—had fun with this kind of ‘role reversal’ in the latest episode of “Gandang Gabi Vice,” where they had to approve or reject one another’s looks based on a series of edited photos.

Mavy’s picture showed him sporting tattoos all over his upper body, which Carmina wouldn’t give her stamp of approval. While she acknowledged that she couldn’t control her kids’ decisions, she’d still tell them if she disagreed with their choices.

Next was a photo of Zoren in full drag, which Mavy and Cassy were totally fine with. As Mavy pointed out, they were raised not to be homophobic or sexist. From there, Mavy recalled a conversation he had with Zoren when was around 12 years old, when his dad asked him, “Straight ka ba o hindi?”

When asked why he talked to his son about it at such a young age, Zoren explained that he wanted Mavy to feel comfortable being himself, “So that we can gear up doon sa kung ano ka, hindi ka na magtatago.” Mavy then shared that he didn’t expect his dad to be so open about such a topic, given his macho action star image.
