Since #KengNamping posted in Tagalog today, I will post the last unreleased clip I have. They asked me how to say “Aroi mak” in Tagalog and they were really shocked when they found out that they have Filipino fans. 🥺
We have to give them a sold out show okay? And let them feel the warm love and support of the Filipino fans. 😭 We can’t wait to see you in Manila Jeng and Poong. 🫶🏻🇵🇭

"as for Namping and p'Keng, as part of the new generation who are here today at the 'Celebration Right to Love' event, we feel that...in today's era, when it comes to love, there is so much more diversity. everyone has the right to love or even choose not to love. whoever we want to love, we can, or sometimes if we feel happy being with ourselves and want to be alone, we also have the right not to love. there is no pressure or force on that. actually, I would like everyone to look beyond just the concept of love, or even beyond just sexual orientation. I want everyone to look at gender identity and gender expression as well, which are incredibly diverse. if we look at it, this diversity is the beauty that occurs in our society in this era. and we can see that both the new generation and the older generation are trying to adjust and find a middle ground to be more open to each other. most importantly, we must accept this diversity in an era where love, attraction, and preferences are so widely recognized. I believe that love in all its forms is beautiful and cute in its own way. but it would be even better if those forms of love were embraced by fundamental rights that are equal for everyone, regardless of gender. for example, this upcoming June 18th, when the marriage equality bill will enter parliament. I believe and hope that the diverse love in our society will be embraced by laws that allow all of us, every individual, and every gender identity, to access true equality. I want those forms of love to be able to lead us toward a better future and a better society together."
from the first time I heard this speech, I knew right away that he wasn't just someone who understood the topic, but he speaks as one of it. he showed a level of maturity and education that is rare to see, at least for me. in my opinion, one of the most refreshing parts of his speech is when he says, "everyone has the right to love or even choose not to love... if we feel happy being with ourselves and want to be alone, we also have the right not to love". most pride speeches focus entirely on romantic relationships, but by mentioning this, he also validates single people and those on the aromantic/asexual spectrums. it removes the societal pressure to always be in a relationship, which is something new for me.
