MANILA, Philippines -- Erik Santos said he is past feeling offended by persistent rumors that he is gay.
The 30-year-old singer, in an interview on "Showbiz Inside Report" aired Saturday, said he has conceded that his critics are not likely to change their opinion of his sexuality.
"Noong una, siyempre [napipikon ako], pero ngayon, kung anuman 'yung ipakita mo sa kanila, hindi mo naman sila mapi-please," he said.
"Kung anuman 'yung paniniwalaan nila, 'yung pa rin naman 'yung pinaniniwalaan nila eh. Bahala na kayo sa buhay niyo," said Santos, who is celebrating his 10th anniversary as a professional singer.
To mark his decade-long career, the "ASAP" mainstay is releasing two albums -- "The Erik Santos Collection," a compilation of all the film and TV series theme songs he has performed, which is now out in stores; and a new all-original album.
Ten years since he emerged champion in the Kapamilya singing contest "Star in a Million," Santos has a clear vision of where he wants to take his career.
"[Singing is what I do best] and feeling ko 'yun ang strength ko," he said in an earlier interview. "Mag-offer nang mag-offer ng kanta, masaya o malungkot. Iyon ang direksyon ng career ko. 'Yun pa rin."
Hahhahahahahahhahahah!! Ma Cristine Reyes na yan nose mo donG!
ReplyDeleteKelangang magdeny?!! Me dapat bang maconfirm?! Pano ba kasi nagkaron ng ganung Chismis sa kanya? Dahil mallamya lang syang kumilos? Ginaya nya dapat si piolo no confirm no deny. Deadma lang mamatay sa speculation ang mga chismosoas! Like si Raymond derrick zoolander ng pinas lang talaga sya! Fashionable! Ang me angal e makipagsukat ng pagkalalaki nya sa kanila!

ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed with this interview, he could have said the truth. That interview is not credible.
ReplyDelete-Indyana menizes

Deletehe is not gay, im her girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteher tlg
DeleteYou're her girlfriend nga, tomboyan ang dating
DeleteHAHAHAHA! tawa talaga ko sa "im her girlfriend"!!
DeleteLIKE!
DeleteBakit may agree disagree? Walang agree disagree. Sya lang ang nakakaalam ng kanyang sexual preference. Pag sinabi nyang hindi sya homosexual, wala kayong magagawa kasi hindi naman mao siya. Puro haka haka lang. And remember pwedeng, gay, bi, pan, etc
ReplyDelete@Anon 12:21am
DeleteEto na yata ang pinaka-sensible na comment na nabasa ko dito. Siya lang ang nakakaalam ng sexual orientation niya. Kung sinabi na niyang hindi siya gay, then let him be. Ano bang alam ng tao para i-insist otherwise?
true! he's still one of the most talented singers this side of town!
Deletehe is straight. yung male friend ko kasi naka-work niya dati si erik and he says that erik is naturally malamya talaga kaya napagkakamalan. he is so secure sa sexuality niya that's why even if they hold hands and kiss each other eh walang malisya yun.
ReplyDeleteWow. Male b tlga friend mo para makipagkiss kay erik? Hahahaha.
DeleteWag ka maniwala jan sa friend mo. Gay dn cguro cia...
DeleteHi erik nagbabasa ka din pala ng fashion pulis. Walang malisya sa friend mo eh kay erik sure ba sya na wala ding malice?
DeleteHahahaha! Hahahaha! Patawa ka gurl!
Deletewahaha panalo comment mo!
Delete"even if they hold hands and kiss each other eh walang malisya yun." wahahah tawa ako dun
DeleteMagagalit si PINOCCHIO baka humaba ilong mo kasing haba ng EDSA! hahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteIsang malaking --- WEH?!? Sinong niloloko mo Erica?
ReplyDeleteI can't understand people who force people out of their comfortable closets. Respect his decision to deny it. It's his life to live anyway.
ReplyDeleteI agree kung totoo man hayaan na natin may pinangangalagaan silamg career!
DeleteHes a celebrity kaya dpat dka na nagugulat kung maraming gusto maki alamsa buhay nia. Duuuhhhh!!!! Do you live under a rock teh???? Yan ang consiquence ng pagiging celebrity. Mayron at mayrong hahalukay sa pagkatao mo... Lalo na kung may lansa ka sa katawan! #FACT
DeleteTrue. Minsan nga yong mga naglaladlad di naman gustong malaman ng mga tao pero may nagawa ba kami? Hayaan nyo yong gustong magtago, eh sa tingin nila yan ang mas mabuti para sa kanila. Kung mas marunogn pa kayo live their lives for them. Chura!
Deletetrue. yong iba nga naglaladlad kahit di gustong malaman ng mga tao, pero may nagawa ba kami?
DeleteThis is showbiz! Duhhhh! Anong dmo maintindihan sa mundo ng showbiz teh????
Delete1:13 and 1:48, It's about time we Filipinos change that mentality. We shouldn't care for the artist's preference. There are actors in the US who are gay but effectively portray manly roles take Neil Patrick Harris as an example. He admitted it based on his own time.
DeleteLet us focus on talent not on the publicity that gossips generate.
to anonymous 1:13 AM: look mo nga sa dictionary true spelling ng 'consiquence'.
DeleteAgree,let them be. And for people who are forced to lie to protect their career, just tell the interviewer not to ask this question. Mag reason out na lang na sawa na sa question na yan, etc.
DeleteFor 1:13AM, will his admission make him a better artist? There are things that should be private. I appreciate his talent regardless of what he does behind closed doors. Hindi mo sya pag-aari.
Deleteagree 12:15!
DeleteKung di siya gay bakit siya nag effort mag like ng notch? Lol
ReplyDeleteI think it was unintentional. He could have accidentally tap it while browsing on his phone or tablet. It happens to me sometimes. I wouldn't expect you to believe me though.
DeleteIt happened to me too. Pero hindi mo naman accidentally mala like yun picture kung di mo inopen para makita yun kabuoan right? Whatever he may be, keber pero bakit lang napa like yun lang BIG QUESTION ko hihihi
Delete#isthatyouerica
Deleteit wouldn't make sense na ilike nya naman yun intentionally di ba.
DeleteBawas bawas sa cheek tint at BB Cream din pag may time Erik ha?
ReplyDeleteBading na rin pala ang mga male kpop stars sa kapal ng make-up nila
Delete12:56 in fairness 50% sa kpop boys badaf din...
DeleteDisagree. His hips isn't lying.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me ladlad sya sa CEU before
ReplyDeletetrue! magka batch sila ng cousin ko
Deletehanofa!!!
DeleteTRUELALEY! wag syang ano! i know better!
DeleteComing out is not an easy thing to do. Not saying Eric is gay. Pero if someone is not ready let us not do the outing for them. RESPECT.
ReplyDeletekeber
ReplyDeleteLokohin mo lelang mong panot. Yun lang.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you so affected? Are you his ex? Did his talent change after the interview?
Delete8:35 galit ka na naman. ikaw yung palaging umaatake kay lonely pinay no? problema mo?
Deletesino bang mga nagpipilitang bading yan? yung mga lalakeng walang tumitili sa kanila, lol!
ReplyDeletenaku Eric puhleeeeese lng dong dont lie to urself noh!!! try mo kayang panuorin ang My Husband is a Lover at nang matauhan k teh!!!kaloka ka!!!!Dislike!!!!!
ReplyDeleteteh, nanonood naman daw siya sabi ni Manang.
DeleteYou are more "kaloka". It is not his responsibility to say what you want to hear. You should spend more time reviewing your grammar than time disliking people.
DeleteMy Husband is a Lover?!?!?!?!
Deletebakit ka jejemon. paki explain
DeleteTomoh! Hindi siya gay, girl siya! Paki niyo ba!!! Hahahah!!!
ReplyDeletelol! kwento mo yan sa pagong! baka nakalimutan mo na may nilike ka na picture? bwahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is his life, let him live the way he wants it to be. I believe he is not gay. Gays can only keep to himself, his true personality for sometime. He can not lie to himself for so long, more so, if there is a pressure from the people.I don't think he has reason for keeping it a secret , if he really is gay. I believe he knows it is already accepted.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't owe us anything, even if he is gay. It should not affect us even if he wants to keep it a secret. It will not kill us even if he lie about his sexual preference.
Respect my fellow readers, respect on his choices that is all we need to do.
thumbs up!!!!
DeleteWala naman masama kung gay siya. Matatanggap parin siya ng tao. Huwag lang siyang mag ala Charice na ibang iba na ang itsura at saka mag tatanong kung bakit nilayuan na siya ng tao.
ReplyDeletedi ko ma get kung bakit ayaw nya pang umamin. singer naman cya hindi actor na pinagnanasahan ng mga chikas kya kebs kung badingerzee cya noh. g**a ka erik. chance mo na umamin.dineny mo pa lalo. lukaret!
ReplyDeleteMas di ko gets kung bakit ka nagpupumilit paaminin siya. Invested ka?
Deletewalang naniwala hahaha! pero magaling pa rin siyang singer.
ReplyDeleteGanda ng lips niya. Buko juice lips.
ReplyDeleteIf world superstar ricky martin can come out and admit that he is gay, im wondering why cant filipino singers and actors who are obviously not straight be more honest? what are they scared of? Besides if ricky martin is gay pala, then what are they?
ReplyDeleteM
perhaps you should read the majority of comments here. Sad to say marami pang Pinoys are immature.
DeleteKaya nga lalo sya nilalait dahil sobrang halata ng gay sya still deny ng deny
DeleteBaka pag laos na siya. Si Ricky Martin only came out when wala na siyang karir. But credit to him, he never denied he was. When asked, ang layo lang lagi ng sagot niya.
DeletePakitanong si Rufa Mae
ReplyDeletehahahaha...lahat naman na gays sa showbiz ay patago-tago lang.
ReplyDeleteano ba kasing problema kung aamin or hindi sila aamin na gay sila??? ang importante they can entertain people kahit pa anong gender nila,,
ReplyDeleteSexual orientation
Delete"Bahala na kayo sa buhay nyo. Said Santos" ang tarush ni Erica parang Raymonda Bynes level hihihi appear sister!
ReplyDeleteECHOSERA!
ReplyDeleteSa eac pa lang halata ng gay siya... not something to be ashamed of, gurl! Pakatotoo na lang...
ReplyDeletepbvious naman na bading siya....why???oh well, action speaks louder than words....halata naman sa kilos eh....bahala rin siya sa buhay niya....sarili nya lang ang niloloko niya...diba may kapatid din siyang t-bird???welll nothing is wrong with that naman...sana lang wag na magdeny..
ReplyDeleteHindi naman nakikita sa kilos ang pagiging homosexual. And wala kayong paki sa sexual orientation nya
DeleteLiar liar your hairlaloo's on fire!
ReplyDeleteAgree... Sabi nya eh... pagbigyan :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really a fan of Mr. Erik Santos, at naniniwala ako na bimale siya, kasi hindi ka naman magdududa sa isang sexual orientation ng isang tao kung walang pinanggagalingan or basehan. Just give him a time, getting out of a closet may be one of the most difficult decision to make sa isang taong katulad nya.Siguro hindi pa siya handa lalo na sa mga magiging reaction ng mga tao. Wag kayong atat!! Lalo lang kayong nagpapahirap na mag-out siya.
ReplyDeletehe has his reasons... parang mga jokes lang ni vice ganda ang mga comment ng mga tao d2.
ReplyDeleteErik, anong nanyari sa Hongkong nung 2004? LOL
ReplyDeletesa panahon ngayon hindi mo malalaman kung sino ang bading sa straight....
ReplyDeleteWe were neighbors for several years. Batchmate din siya ng kapatid ko. He is straight, decent and a gentleman.
ReplyDeleteagree!
Delete10 to 20 yrs after mmmm abangan! :))
ReplyDeleteHe went to EAC Manila and magka-college of Nursing kami before his CEU days,, in fairness to his looks, may ichu, maliit nga lang,, my friends and i were shocked when we overheard him sa elevator ng EAC-1 na naku-kyutan sya sa basketball varsity player namin na si Baybay, una hndi nmin alam na sya pala yun kasi asa likod sila, then paglabas nila sa 3rd floor at naiwan kami sa loob ng lift, sya pala yun.. kumukulot kasi ang boses at halata na pigil ang pagsasalita at parang pinipilit magpakalalake ng boses, pero take note, may abaniko syang kulay red.. haha..
ReplyDeletechosera ka teh!
Deleteweeh di nga? Tiga EAC din ako, and i've heard that elevator thing a couple of times na, ilang tao na ngkwento, pero yun lang naman lagi , isang story lang, wala na bang iba???kumabaga sa korte case dismiss na toh due to lack of evidence.!!!
Deletehalata naman e......na hindi.....hindi pa nya matanggap...hahah!
ReplyDeleteHayaan na kung nagdeny man sya or baka nga wala naman dapat aminin. Life nya yan asikasuhin natin buhay natin
ReplyDeleteBakit si Ruston noon Sabi niya Hindi siya gay ano ngayon ha bakla pala kaya wag mo na pigilan
ReplyDeletegay or not, he is a great singer! RESPECT lang. Kaya walang rumerespeto sa mga bading dahil mismong bading ang nauunang humusga ng kapwa nila.
ReplyDeletecheck na check!!!!!
Deletehindi sya gay... di lang talaga sya babaero.. at pinalaki sya na di basagulero.. mabait na tao yan si Erik..
ReplyDeletetrue!!!!!
DeleteSo what? That`s a private matter! Media(s) and fans should not ask that kind of questions. Let them be, that`s their right. Don`t use the excuses that their public figure nor role model. You`re already paying them to do the things for your own entertainment. Criticise their craft and talent.
ReplyDeletelaki ng tama mo jan!BS ang rason na 'public figure','for the sake of the fans' at kung anu-ano pa.talento at trabaho ang dapat pag-usapan.
Delete@6:51 PM: "Talento at trabaho and dapat pagusapan."
DeleteAs posted from a gossip site. Oh, the irony! Nosebleed aketch!
hindi dapat pilitin mag-out ang mga taong ayaw mag-out.sariling desisyon ng mga gays kung kailan o saan sila mag-out.so,if they don't come out to you,that's their choice and it's none of anybody's business.
ReplyDeletewhy is that? because it takes one to know one hihihi
ReplyDeleteEtchoserang Frog! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteang mga friends ni Erik sa showbizlandia and even mga kasama sa talent agency are mostly alleged gay hhmmm
ReplyDeleteHe's not gay. He's straight... a straight girl :)
ReplyDeletehe was my schoolmate during elementary and high school. masasabi mo non talaga na parang gay sya. pero unti-unti na syang nagbago nung high school, parang nagpaka-lalake na sya non. (nagka-GF nga sya non) i think he just made a choice to become straight. yun nga lang, malamya cguro kilos nya kaya napagkakamalan syang gay. but i think every person has the right to change for the better. infairness, noon pa man, maganda na talaga boses nya.
ReplyDeletesi fafa fi nga nagdeny yan pa. why is this even a question? papaniwala kayo sa echosan sa showbiz. saka anyway paki naman kung ano sya. haaaaay ewan ko sa inyo.
ReplyDeletedi ako bakla kla kla kla kla kla
ReplyDeleteSexuality among celebrities is an endless debate especially among suspected gays. Whether they admit or not does not change the world.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't perceive people based on what I just see but what they claim. If a man says he is not gay, why not take his word for it. If what he claims may seem to be a lie in the future, he did not fool us but himself.
Is this what the expression "makitid ang ulo" means, (referring to some of the comments). Who cares, he's a singer. Would his songs sound any different if he was gay or not....
ReplyDeleteHi sir Eric,for me it's okay namn po kahit ano ka importante mabuting tao ka,atsaka straight ka man o Hindi ndi nmn Yan kabawasan Sayo at Saka naniniwala Ako na ano Mang kasarian ng tao ay may mga karapatan po Tayo at pantay pantay,,,Kya khit ano manpo sabihin ng iba tungkol sainyo okay lang huwag na pansinin ndi nmn po KC natin ma pe please Ang lahat,,,,Basta para Sakin no.1 idol po kita sana mameet kita soon 💕💕💕 at kung sakaling mabasa nyo to ,,,palage po aq na nonood saiyo ❤️❤️
