But as a result, this has shaped us to be more open-minded as to what is different and more accepting of change. In 30 minutes you can be at a mountaintop resort enjoying fresh produce and inhaling the fresh country air, or you can be by the sea enjoying our fantastic beaches, eating delicious Cebu Lechon roasted suckling pig for lunch. I think the influence of show business is the main reason. So many elected public officials used to be in this industry, which shows the strong showbiz influence in Filipino society.
Yes, we are naturally drama queens the lot of us! And, since there is always a gay personality behind every showbiz success story, this has positively influenced how the public sees gay people. Go to Greenbelt Mall in Makati, hold hands with your boyfriend without irony and the worst that could happen is you will get provocative, mildly shocked, quietly unnerved stares. And that's it. You won't get stoned, called names, or publicly shamed by conservative Catholics who might feel scandalised by the sight of two buff boys showing very visible signs of affection towards each other.
Greenbelt is a classy, family mall, of course, so take that into consideration. When you go out into the streets of Metro Manila and behave the same way, it might be a different experience altogether. If by gay-friendly, you mean people are not outwardly hostile, then yes! The Philippines is gay-friendly. Just stay away from the comments section of the Filipino dailies because the amount of vitriol in some of them is just too much.

I would also take him to cold Baguio and Sagada, Mountain Province where you can hold hands as much as you wanted underneath all the layers of clothing. Patrick is a fellow geek and has an excellent blog to prove it. Compared to the USA, where I was raised, the Philippines is not as accepting of gays, especially now that gay marriage laws have finally been passed by the US Supreme Court.
Despite this, the Philippines is one of the most gay friendly destinations in Asia because the people are more relaxed, easy-going and welcoming to all.
I would take Mr Right: to Boracay island because we could dress up and learn to swim like mermaids together just like you boys did! The Philippines is seen as gay friendly because a large amount of our economy depends on tourism, hospitality and catering, each of which naturally attracts the pink pound. I would take Mr Right: to my home town in Dipolog City and introduce him to my family and all the good people I know and then take him to the most beautiful place I have been to, which is Ginto Island.

A country with a conservative Catholic background but possesses a western outlook.
As the country adapts to the challenge of providing equal opportunities to the LGBTQI sectors albeit slowly, there is a sense of optimism and that my homecountry has been more accepting in comparison to its long gone buttoned-up days. The Philippines is more progressive in many ways compared with countries like the US. I have traveled there many times and find that they are more open to alternative lifestyles. Unlike the US, Pageants of all kinds receive mainstream attention. Thanks for your comment Alan- and totally agree with you. I have visited Philippines about a dozen times, and wish I had discovered it earlier in my life!
