How is it to be a transsexual in the Philippines, tell us about your life? Raquela Rios: “Well it’s not really fun although i have my friends and we enjoy together we get along with each other with some fellow transsexuals. We blend in the gay society that sometimes people in the Philippines label us as gays were in fact homosexuality is different from transsexuality and filipino people has got to know that…..We as a transsexual myself in the Philippines sometimes i get conscious walking around when we see some male species and hmmm anyone cause they will stare at us and mock on us make us as a laughing stock……..its not an easy life we got here but well we just go with the flow we strive hard to be accepted and be different as we are prove ourselves that we are brave, the only one.”
