I remember when you were in amanpulo i already knew you have a romantic relationship, the moment i saw the bed, and i was like they are both at the same villa/house with one bed, i did not saw any extra bed or something that's why i leave a comment asking if you are together as a couple (I'm sorry for asking that before) i respect you guys and I'm happy about your relationship even before you got out of the closet. I love you both mikey and RJ❤️
Yup! I totally brought this to RJ's attention, and you know what he said? RJ: "In the Philippines, it's normal for two male friends/brothers/family members to share a bed..." ME: **crickets**
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS that crossed my mind too but if there is a option they would pick 2 separate beds and you had options. Many of us knew and it was very obvious. Surprised the others didn't. How did you aunt that is more religious take the news?
I never thought I'd see the day that we admit this stuff publicly! I'm so grateful for this year 2019! Thank you for watching, guys! Happy pride month!
Before you both came out... I had completely the wrong impression of RJ. He was sullen, stoney faced, angry, would not communicate, or interact. It was like he hated us. His unhappiness was palpable. I often wondered how someone who did such amazing charity work could be like that. But now.... I see a very different RJ. Someone gentle and very kind. Caring, generous, thoughtful, loving and so full of life. Before I always used to comment it was nice to see RJ smiling and relaxed. It happened so rarely. Now though is so very different. It really warms my heart because I thought so often how unhappy he looked before. RJ you’re radiating happiness. I love that because you really do deserve it. Whereas Mikey I think has the ability to mask, which ultimately does lead to burn out. I think you no longer need to waste that precious energy masking for the camera. It’s wonderful to see you both so genuinely happy together. The change in RJ though.... Mind = Blown. Much love to you guys. 🌈💗
I always just saw RJ as being uncomfortable and shy. I totally relate to RJ lol . --- It's so great to see him being SO adorable and smiling and open and free 💗😊🍎
Tbh, for me watching Mikey Bustos Vlogs now after Mikey and Rj came out gets me more happier, its got that kind of vibe or energy that if I see you two together makes me so happy😊 I love your vlogs since then but now I just love it more💖 #Pride 🌈🙌😘
An important thing to note, for those who are scared of coming out, if you KNOW your parents are unsupportive of the lgbt+ and you have a strong feeling that you will be disowned or kicked out, just wait. Maybe tell a close friend that you know you can trust but do not put yourself in harm or in danger if you don't think your family will not take to it well. You can sometimes test how they will react by saying maybe someone at your school that you know came out and see how they react. Of course, parents can be much more impacted if they hear it is about their child but if they say horrible and threatening things about other people that come out, it's best to not tell them until you have moved out and can support yourself. MOST parents will be supportive or at the very least, understanding.
I totally agree with this! My dad's talk with me before leaving for the Philippines was "There's a lot of gay there! Make sure you tell them you're NOT gay!" OMG I DIED A LITTLE INSIDE and kept my mouth shut. But yes, waiting until 8 yrs later when times began to change and I began to change and he began to change, really helped set the perfect stage up to come out!
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS Mikey, when my son came out to me, I also DIED A LITTLE INSIDE! Not because I don't accept the fact that he is gay, but because I worry for him getting bullied or hurt. I fear that his future will not be as easy compared to the straight kids. (So, maybe your Dad told you that because he was only worried for you). But that was just my initial reaction. The world is changing thank goodness. Time will come, when no one needs to come out at all. It will happen!
Tears were falling down my cheeks when you were talking about your dad, Mikey. I love him. I believe that’s what parents should do. Support and love their children no matter what.
I love it! Not only has RJs presence become much lighter and warmer on camera (and I can totally see why you fell for him, Mikey), you just seem freer as well. It’s like when you have a friend you’ve known forever and then they get a significant other that just lights them up and it’s fun to be around. You guys have all the ingredients for a stable lifelong partnership so whether you know it or not yet I am foreseeing a wedding sometime down the line 🤵🤵🦜
Your chemistry was so evident that I made the mistake of commenting on your relationship before you came out. I'm so sorry about that but you just seem perfect for each other.💖🌈
I just want to acknowledge that I love how you felt that you needed to apologize for something you have said in the past comment. Good for you. Setting a good example for everyone who read your comment. It’s never too late to apologize.
@@joyram4813 Thank you. I felt really bad about it at the time... but seriously I thought it was obvious! 😂 Not the point though... One shouldn't assume.💖
I do not intend to leave RJ out of this statement, because I don't 'know' him as well from these videos as I have gotten to know Mikey (from viewing these videso) therefore, I can compliment Mikey for being such a great communicator. You seem to always find the right word or words to describe, explain, or make clear; that is a wonderful attribute. So add that to the long list of Mikey talents. :-)
Thank you for this great vlog. I am so glad that you and RJ made through your rough patch and chose to come out. You are both such beautiful people inside and out and amazing role models for the LGBTQ community! Love you guys so so so much! EDIT: I also want give you guys kudos for mentioning how inappropriate it was for any one to ask the question about top/bottom. I cannot believe anyone would have the nerve ask. Just because some of us are in same sex relationships it does not give people an open invitation to ask questions like that. Same sex relationships are no different than any other relationship. Love is love and we are no more comfortable sharing details about our private life than a straight couple. So please remember to be respectful and honor peoples right to privacy.
😁 oh my, thank you so much for answering not just my questions but lots of others too! I’m sorry if I asked too much I was just so excited and so happy for you guys!! It’s wonderful that you have such support from the most important people in your lives. I could go on and on about everything you both spoke about but it would fill a book, so thank you for this vlog and #lovewins Happy Pride Month 🥰 🏳️🌈
When RJ said it was the start of our world my eyes exploded😭, I'm 28 and living in the half out stage, and you all are like the older brothers I never had. So glad I came back to watch some of these old vlogs 💖
Happy pride month! Thank you both for answering such personal questions to curious viewers! We appreciate your honesty and I really love seeing you both in such a happy place after such a stressful time in your lives. An additional thanks for being such genuine people, having the courage to come out and continuously infusing POSITIVE VIBES to all your subscribers. We hope we can do the same for you. I'm a transplant subscriber from itsjudytime and I remember the first vlog I saw of you two...you were at a buffet (but of course!) you ate some food off of RJ's plate and I knew from that point on. I've been loving how (more) relaxed and free you both seem on camera nowadays.
Ate Elsie is professional and she respects you both. You are very lucky to have such a trusting, caring and loving housekeeper 🙏🏼 Sending love 💕 all the way from Hawai’i 💗💞
RJ looks really blooming.. the smile on his face doesn't erase... how happy he looks :) He looks more handsome coz he looks healthier :) u guys spread love and be happy always
It’s really nobody’s business how your and RJ relationship is. It’s only important to you both. It takes hard work to make it work. I wish you both much happiness
Thank you for representing that not all gay men (or hetero couples for that matter) are "top" or "bottom" and that's not the only way to express intimate love! It's such a big thing in our culture that people are curious about and you handled it in such an awesome way (even though it's really an inappropriate thing to ask people) 💗🤗🌈
Thank you for still answering that inappropriate question without being sarcastic and or mad. Still positive and honest. Others would just disregard that question.
I knew the second I saw you two together in the very first video I ever watched from you. THE FIRST SECOND! Because you two compliment each other. Not with words... It’s the way you move around together, the way to speak to each other. I honestly can’t imagine not seeing both of you together. Of coarse I didn’t really know though because you were hiding and then came THE MALDIVES.... That sealed the idea and I knew for sure then. I’m so glad you two decided to not hide anymore. Live life as you and if someone doesn’t like it, this is a big world, they can walk around you. My sons birthday is March 25th......2001.
I also think you were receiving more love than hate because you two are the most genuine, most beautiful persons in this world. You are both inspiration to many and you always give love back to everyone.
Guys you’re so cute together 🤩 New in this channel but I knew when I 1st saw RJ. For those who want to come out… there is no hurry. Always listen to your belly butterflies. But be ready for worst and remember this “nothing is more important than your happiness”. My daughter said to me 1 day “is it ok for you if I’m straight?” Then I told her… is it OK for you if I’m LGBT? She said to me “as long as you’re happy, I’m good with it”. So I answered her “so do I toward you”. Remember that those who love you will always accept you as who you are! May all of you be safe!!
I think the curiosity for certain juicy details shows that a lot of people are in the process of learning about and accepting their own place or fluidity on the spectrum of sexual attraction/orientation. The kinks are in the details! ☺️ You can take pride in jumpstarting such enlightenment for others and, of course, practicing a valid form of love! 👏🏼🏳️🌈 Now, let’s get to more pressing issues of our world...
I love this video and I love you both! The way you approach the questions really gives people more insight into the LGBTQ+ community. It really shows that everyone is alike...TRULY! We all love and want to be loved! Blessings to you and RJ! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Best vlog ever! Yes, Mabuhay squad has always known. 🤣🏳️🌈 You two are the best! Can't wait for you to have a child. It will be the luckiest kid to have such great dads! You both seem so much happier, especially RJ. He has come out of his shell (pun intended) and it's such a beautiful thing. When you guys get married make sure you do a live so Mabuhay squad can support you.
Who could ever hate these two? I dont know them and but i love them! I have seen a handful of their videos andnit only shows how caring, kind, loving people they are.. not only to other people but to animals as well...
Thank you for doing this, it was an awesome Q&A, did not disappoint. I hope folks will stop asking such private questions now, lol. Anyway I want to say I am glad to hear you're thinking of adopting b/c I think you two would be awesome parents. Happy Pride Month!
Ok, full confession time. I've been so worried for you both because of the change in your personal vs professional lives. I worried that it would be too much for RJ who strikes me as someone who prefers things to be ordered and quiet, and I worried that there would be a major impact to Mikey's opportunities that would effect you both mentally and financially. Personally, I'm glad you have found each other and found a way to balance all the different parts of your lives and I hope it continues to stay that way because you BOTH have earned the right to be happy! Oh, and my personal rule of thumb is, if I wouldn't ask my mother, I probably shouldn't ask anyone else!
Yes, I now see in your videos, two guys that are more in touch and at peace with life! Your stress levels appear to have plummeted dramatically. My husband and I are so happy for you! Enjoy your adventure together!
Happy for you Mikey and RJ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 your love for each other is enough but sometimes that piece of paper after a wedding gives you spousal rights in some countries.
Lol. This is awesome. I think the UA-cam algorithms knew a long time before you decided to come out. Based on the things I watched, they recommended your videos all of a sudden, and then more frequently. The first one I saw I knew you were gay. I thought it was great that you managed to balance your faith, and your family upbringing and being gay. Maybe not many LGBT realize you can have a well rounded life with family and good values. I thought it was hilarious that you called RJ "my manager". Thought it was tongue in cheek. Lol.
Ever since I saw him give you a look in one of Raq's vlogs over a year ago I knew RJ thinks you are the love of his life, Mikey! Never forget that even when you're joking about his slow answers. hehe I think (hope) you guys will marry some day!! 💕❤🍎🌈💗
Family is about love not DNA. Learned a lot from your words of wisdom. ANd you guys are really lucky that mabuhay squad/audience are matured and loving. I really admire you both. Am out but still trying to get acceptance from my family. Happy pride month!! 🌈🎉👏
I wasn't really updated because I was focusing on school to graduate. I'm behind everything and I was quite surprised to see a video that mentioned your boyfriend. Even more so that it turns out to be your manager too. . . I didn't know that you were BI and I love the new parodies. Would like more of those involving food. . . *drools. . .* Since Mikey asked, "Would you like to see that," with regards to the proposal, if either of you proposes, I hope that it'll be recorded and posted on all the social media. THAT, and the actual wedding and the reception will probably give a LOT of views and likes. Happy Pride month to you guys, and more power to our people! MABUHAY!
Thank you for being honest and for sharing a part of your lives with us. My sister and I met Mickey once in G4. He was super accommodating. My sistr in canada was a volunteer mabuhay squad for Mickey's show in Vancouver. She has nothing but praise for him. Thanks for my regular dose of positivty and happiness.
My wish for you both is to get legally married one day and to have children. I loved your videos before but love watching them even more now that we know that you are together as a couple. Happy pride! 🌈👨❤️💋👨
Brilliant vlog! Well done 👍 My husband and I have been together for 20 years, and ‘bottoming’ doesn’t apply to us either, both of us are ‘tops’...and very happy in our relationship together 💪😉🇺🇸
A year later, watching this video makes me smile and think of my own beloved~ I can't wait to be open about our relationship too. Can't wait to hold her hand wherever we go, kiss her cheek before work, hold her close during a dinner date. Seriously this gives me great hope for the future 😊 Thank you guys~! ❤
I absolutely love this vlog!!! Definitely nice learning so much more about the two of you. I would love to see you both get married!! You both would be great parents!!! Keep up the great and amazing work!!! Thank you for sharing Mikey and RJ!!!
Mikey 😂 maybe it's best you didn't get your dad drunk first because the next day he might not have remembered it and you'd have to tell him all over again 😂
I am very charmed by how shy RJ is, it's so hard being open about feelings in such a public way! It's hard to break the habit of hiding. Much respect lol. Also I like the description of not having a single day that you realized the love. I had very instant bonds with my two partners in our triad, but it took us a while to really... Figure it out lol. About a month into talking to them and we realized we'd fallen for each other and were like, oh crap, this makes things very complicated let's talk. But it's been eight years with one and three with the both of them, and we're a team. Jealousy tip for folks, whether you are monogamous or poly or even in a friendship.... Jealousy is ultimately about fear. If you can identity what it is that you are afraid of, you can figure out ways to deal with it, whether that is to try to reduce it in yourself, or if it's coming from an unmet need in your relationship, or even an unmet need somewhere else in your life. I promise you that it makes life better and richer, no matter who you are or how you love, when you can take unabashed joy in other's happiness rather than pain.
I always knew, but my gaydar is out of this world so lmao. I remember the very 1st time I watched AntsCanada I knew just by listening to Mikey speak, it's like a subconscious thing.
RJ looks happier since you guys came out ...I thought he is straight but hey I got a wrong impression also with the guy I was in a relationship with 😁😁😁God bless you both ...No matter what the gender is, what matter most you guys knows how to love and respect each other ❤️❤️❤️
Being gay, I became open to everybody else except my parents.. if only I also have the courage like the both of you have. I mean, I already consider myself as a failure to my parents and regarding about my gender preference even though I feel that they already have an inkling about me.. saying it straight to their faces that their boy is also inlove with another boy.. it would shatter their small hope that's left. But having to hear your stories I somehow thought of the possibility of being open to everybody including my parents. You gave me the understanding that a father will always be a father to his son regardless of his gender preference. Thank you Kuya Mikey and Kuya RJ for spreading positivity and hope to the younger members of the LGBT community.
I felt EXACTLY like you did. Your parents just might surprise you. No rush tho, as I said. The time and opportunity will come when you're at the edge of that pool and life is telling you to jump in and do it! 😊🏳️🌈❤
Thank you guys for being so honest. My love and respect for you both grew even bigger after watching this video. I wish you all the best because you both deserve everything. Love wins! 🌈🌈🌈🌈
I just love you guys I could not hate you for coming out... I do like to see you guys have kids and living the life you guys dreamed together... Arggghhh so inspiring!!😘
Watching and saying "hi" from Toronto Canada (Rainbow Village at Church and Wellesley), Mikey! Been living in this area for almost 20 years and I love the diversity here.
I wish I am that courageous enough to like "out" and not afraid of criticisms and judgements. But I am getting there. I'm 21 and I need to accept the true me andbe confident of who I am. Thanks for this blog! You guys are one of my inspirations! Xoxo💕
no words , just ❤️❤️❤️ & respect ! you know what, my husband kept telling that there's something abt mikey & rj and i kept denying it and and pushing the idea away but somehow i kinda felt it as well. but it's ok. you are both good people!
Wow you two have been together a long time no wonder you both feel so free by coming out. That is a long time to hide ur relationship from everyone. So glad you have weathered the storm. Stay strong and true to each other and never go to bed mad at each other and you will be together forever.
May question was not read, but I'm so happy that everything I want to know were answered. God bless you two always. Stay happy and healthy. Mikey and RJ
Both your eyes are overflowing with love and happiness 😍 And everytime you both laugh, it sparkles! That's LOVE! Cheers to your #MayForever journey! ❤ God bless your relationship!
Happy Pride Month Mikey and Rj! I have a hunch that my sister is lesbian but I don't ask her either. I just knew because I'm her ate. Iregardless, my parents would still support her if there will come a time she'll confess to them I guess. Continue to spread good vibes. I watch all of your vlogs 💕
I have lots of family that are in same gender relationship. Its never bothered me. But the way things are now I crack up when I get called Racist, Homophobic, etc. I love the vlogs
Thank you Mikey, RJ, Jeah, and all! This was such an excellent video. Thank you for sharing your relationship with us. Brings inspiration and confidence. I think you two would make amazing parents if that's what you choose. Mabuhay!

@@MikeyBustosVLOGS haha reminds me of the saying: "it's so gay that it's straight"
It’s your typical Filipino toxic mentality. Making assumptions people are gay because two men are sleeping in the same bed. GTFU!
I never thought I'd see the day that we admit this stuff publicly! I'm so grateful for this year 2019! Thank you for watching, guys! Happy pride month!
Happy pride month to you too kuya Mikey!
Glad your happy your a nice guy godbless you and your family

Your words brought me to tears.
Yaassss, Queens! 👑👑🐜❤
Haha very funny! You just called yourself a queen!
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS lol and you just left a comment to yourself! 😜😜😜
Well that makes two of us, then! 🔥🙌
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS No, it makes three of us!!! Buuwwwahahahahha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜😜
Lol!!! The comments between the other channels always crack me up 😂
“If I’m gonna go down with the rest of the world it might as well be with a cute boy”
-Mikey : )
Exactly
I love that you told commenters how inappropriate the top and bottom question was! 🍒
I knew the answer when Apple Boy flipped his pizza and Mikey dropped had of his on salad.
Yes. Hate it when people ask us this.
I HATE this question. It’s SO disrespectful. We all hate getting asked this.
Piper Jayna and then proceed to tell us to imagine it
Robert Phillips it doesn’t matter if your LGBTQ or not, this question is inappropriate to ask ANYONE!
Tbh, for me watching Mikey Bustos Vlogs now after Mikey and Rj came out gets me more happier, its got that kind of vibe or energy that if I see you two together makes me so happy😊

I'm surprised that this is only a 20 something minute vlog. Time to watch.
It’s really nobody’s business how your and RJ relationship is. It’s only important to you both. It takes hard work to make it work. I wish you both much happiness

Loved this!! Felt like we got to know you guys so much better ❤
Guys you’re so cute together 🤩
New in this channel but I knew when I 1st saw RJ.
For those who want to come out… there is no hurry. Always listen to your belly butterflies. But be ready for worst and remember this “nothing is more important than your happiness”.
My daughter said to me 1 day “is it ok for you if I’m straight?” Then I told her… is it OK for you if I’m LGBT?
She said to me “as long as you’re happy, I’m good with it”.
So I answered her “so do I toward you”.
Remember that those who love you will always accept you as who you are!
May all of you be safe!!
I think the curiosity for certain juicy details shows that a lot of people are in the process of learning about and accepting their own place or fluidity on the spectrum of sexual attraction/orientation. The kinks are in the details! ☺️ You can take pride in jumpstarting such enlightenment for others and, of course, practicing a valid form of love! 👏🏼🏳️🌈 Now, let’s get to more pressing issues of our world...
I'm totally going to use RJ's moves
Hahaha
I love this video and I love you both! The way you approach the questions really gives people more insight into the LGBTQ+ community. It really shows that everyone is alike...TRULY! We all love and want to be loved! Blessings to you and RJ! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Best vlog ever! Yes, Mabuhay squad has always known. 🤣🏳️🌈 You two are the best! Can't wait for you to have a child. It will be the luckiest kid to have such great dads! You both seem so much happier, especially RJ. He has come out of his shell (pun intended) and it's such a beautiful thing. When you guys get married make sure you do a live so Mabuhay squad can support you.
6:00 For the thumbnail question. 6:06 RJ mumbling "bottom". 🤔
I was thinking the same thing 😅 . They did say honest...
Hahahaha Aj is the btm!!!!
Mika Hakinnen OMG I had to rewind to see the answer for myself. Hehe
Oh my god lmao
Or they take turns? Since Mikey said use our imagination. 🙈
4:15 I love the innocent face of Kuya Rj saying he love Kuya Mikey huhu my heart. WE DEMAND ANOTHER Q&A!! 😍
I would love to see this wedding. I think it would be the most awesome wedding of the Century. The guest list would be like a UA-cam award show.
My heart, man. My heart can’t take it. This vlog is too cute 🥰🌈
Who could ever hate these two? I dont know them and but i love them! I have seen a handful of their videos andnit only shows how caring, kind, loving people they are.. not only to other people but to animals as well...
Thank you for doing this, it was an awesome Q&A, did not disappoint. I hope folks will stop asking such private questions now, lol. Anyway I want to say I am glad to hear you're thinking of adopting b/c I think you two would be awesome parents. Happy Pride Month!
Happy pride month 🏳️🌈 thank you for sharing private details about your life guys!!! Well done! 🙂 You're still super cute ! Love the love !
Thank you Mikey and RJ for doing this and answering the invasive questions honestly 😊💜
Raw honesty! I love it! I always say the everything will be all right in the end. And if isn't, it's not yet the end. Thank you, Mikey and RJ!
RJ (AKA Appleboy) is special. You’re luck to have him in your life. Pride On!
Love the Honesty and candid advice. Mikey and RJ you both are the Very Best! 🎉
Thanks Mikey and RJ for this. You remind us that hope is what we are living for.
Ok, full confession time. I've been so worried for you both because of the change in your personal vs professional lives. I worried that it would be too much for RJ who strikes me as someone who prefers things to be ordered and quiet, and I worried that there would be a major impact to Mikey's opportunities that would effect you both mentally and financially. Personally, I'm glad you have found each other and found a way to balance all the different parts of your lives and I hope it continues to stay that way because you BOTH have earned the right to be happy!
Oh, and my personal rule of thumb is, if I wouldn't ask my mother, I probably shouldn't ask anyone else!
Yes, I now see in your videos, two guys that are more in touch and at peace with life! Your stress levels appear to have plummeted dramatically. My husband and I are so happy for you! Enjoy your adventure together!
Thank you. You're right. Hugs!
Happy for you Mikey and RJ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 your love for each other is enough but sometimes that piece of paper after a wedding gives you spousal rights in some countries.
Lol. This is awesome. I think the UA-cam algorithms knew a long time before you decided to come out. Based on the things I watched, they recommended your videos all of a sudden, and then more frequently. The first one I saw I knew you were gay. I thought it was great that you managed to balance your faith, and your family upbringing and being gay. Maybe not many LGBT realize you can have a well rounded life with family and good values. I thought it was hilarious that you called RJ "my manager". Thought it was tongue in cheek. Lol.
Ever since I saw him give you a look in one of Raq's vlogs over a year ago I knew RJ thinks you are the love of his life, Mikey! Never forget that even when you're joking about his slow answers. hehe I think (hope) you guys will marry some day!! 💕❤🍎🌈💗
Family is about love not DNA. Learned a lot from your words of wisdom. ANd you guys are really lucky that mabuhay squad/audience are matured and loving. I really admire you both. Am out but still trying to get acceptance from my family. Happy pride month!! 🌈🎉👏
I wasn't really updated because I was focusing on school to graduate. I'm behind everything and I was quite surprised to see a video that mentioned your boyfriend. Even more so that it turns out to be your manager too. . . I didn't know that you were BI and I love the new parodies. Would like more of those involving food. . . *drools. . .*
Since Mikey asked, "Would you like to see that," with regards to the proposal, if either of you proposes, I hope that it'll be recorded and posted on all the social media. THAT, and the actual wedding and the reception will probably give a LOT of views and likes.
Happy Pride month to you guys, and more power to our people! MABUHAY!
" Your greatest joy lays beyond your comfort zone!" LAB IT.😍😍😍
Thank you for being honest and for sharing a part of your lives with us. My sister and I met Mickey once in G4. He was super accommodating. My sistr in canada was a volunteer mabuhay squad for Mickey's show in Vancouver. She has nothing but praise for him.
Thanks for my regular dose of positivty and happiness.
My wish for you both is to get legally married one day and to have children. I loved your videos before but love watching them even more now that we know that you are together as a couple. Happy pride! 🌈👨❤️💋👨
It's true: opposites attract. Look at how RJ eats versus Mikey.
I do believed in opposite attraction
I'm definitely RJ lol
Brilliant vlog! Well done 👍 My husband and I have been together for 20 years, and ‘bottoming’ doesn’t apply to us either, both of us are ‘tops’...and very happy in our relationship together 💪😉🇺🇸
A year later, watching this video makes me smile and think of my own beloved~ I can't wait to be open about our relationship too. Can't wait to hold her hand wherever we go, kiss her cheek before work, hold her close during a dinner date. Seriously this gives me great hope for the future 😊 Thank you guys~! ❤
AND MABUHAY SQUAD IN THE PHILIPPINES DONT FORGET MEET AND GREET AT GLORIETA MALL JUNE 15 AT 4 PM ITS GOING TO HE FUN
I absolutely love this vlog!!! Definitely nice learning so much more about the two of you. I would love to see you both get married!! You both would be great parents!!! Keep up the great and amazing work!!! Thank you for sharing Mikey and RJ!!!
Mikey 😂 maybe it's best you didn't get your dad drunk first because the next day he might not have remembered it and you'd have to tell him all over again 😂
Hahahah TRUE!
I am very charmed by how shy RJ is, it's so hard being open about feelings in such a public way! It's hard to break the habit of hiding. Much respect lol. Also I like the description of not having a single day that you realized the love. I had very instant bonds with my two partners in our triad, but it took us a while to really... Figure it out lol. About a month into talking to them and we realized we'd fallen for each other and were like, oh crap, this makes things very complicated let's talk. But it's been eight years with one and three with the both of them, and we're a team.
Jealousy tip for folks, whether you are monogamous or poly or even in a friendship.... Jealousy is ultimately about fear. If you can identity what it is that you are afraid of, you can figure out ways to deal with it, whether that is to try to reduce it in yourself, or if it's coming from an unmet need in your relationship, or even an unmet need somewhere else in your life. I promise you that it makes life better and richer, no matter who you are or how you love, when you can take unabashed joy in other's happiness rather than pain.
I always knew, but my gaydar is out of this world so lmao. I remember the very 1st time I watched AntsCanada I knew just by listening to Mikey speak, it's like a subconscious thing.
RJ looks happier since you guys came out ...I thought he is straight but hey I got a wrong impression also with the guy I was in a relationship with 😁😁😁God bless you both ...No matter what the gender is, what matter most you guys knows how to love and respect each other ❤️❤️❤️
9:57 the eye brow thing RJ did after you said "I have to lead him by the hand" killed me!
Coming out Mikey helps a lot if u have someone to fall back on like RJ so if anyone didn’t like it u had comfort at least so right on.👍🇨🇦
I've been looking forward to this all day. Thanks dudes :) Pax.
Being gay, I became open to everybody else except my parents.. if only I also have the courage like the both of you have. I mean, I already consider myself as a failure to my parents and regarding about my gender preference even though I feel that they already have an inkling about me.. saying it straight to their faces that their boy is also inlove with another boy.. it would shatter their small hope that's left. But having to hear your stories I somehow thought of the possibility of being open to everybody including my parents. You gave me the understanding that a father will always be a father to his son regardless of his gender preference. Thank you Kuya Mikey and Kuya RJ for spreading positivity and hope to the younger members of the LGBT community.
I felt EXACTLY like you did. Your parents just might surprise you. No rush tho, as I said. The time and opportunity will come when you're at the edge of that pool and life is telling you to jump in and do it! 😊🏳️🌈❤
Thank you guys for being so honest. My love and respect for you both grew even bigger after watching this video. I wish you all the best because you both deserve everything. Love wins! 🌈🌈🌈🌈
I just love you guys I could not hate you for coming out... I do like to see you guys have kids and living the life you guys dreamed together... Arggghhh so inspiring!!😘
Watching and saying "hi" from Toronto Canada (Rainbow Village at Church and Wellesley), Mikey! Been living in this area for almost 20 years and I love the diversity here.
I wish I am that courageous enough to like "out" and not afraid of criticisms and judgements. But I am getting there. I'm 21 and I need to accept the true me andbe confident of who I am. Thanks for this blog! You guys are one of my inspirations! Xoxo💕
So sweet together guys! Wishing you the best!
Interesting information and very personal questions. Great job answering tastefully.
Mikey and Rj my favorite vlogger very honest very open. Thats why you guys are blessed. I enjoy your vlog ❤
no words , just ❤️❤️❤️ & respect !
you know what, my husband kept telling that there's something abt mikey & rj and i kept denying it and and pushing the idea away but somehow i kinda felt it as well. but it's ok. you are both good people!
Daddy Jerry is smart, he probably knew and stayed in the Philippines for you to confess to him. He did a reverse psychology on you 😁😉
Mickey, your dad is psychic?
hahaha u never know, diba?? could be!
@@machupiccchu123 haha parents just know I guess
I thought that too!! lol (or maybe some part of Daddy Jerry's soul knew and that's why he stayed on this year)
@@willowwinkle right? 😉
Wow you two have been together a long time no wonder you both feel so free by coming out. That is a long time to hide ur relationship from everyone. So glad you have weathered the storm. Stay strong and true to each other and never go to bed mad at each other and you will be together forever.
May question was not read, but I'm so happy that everything I want to know were answered.
God bless you two always. Stay happy and healthy. Mikey and RJ
Watching the video and I can even count how many times RJ talked lol.
I admire u both
I love to see this q and a.. we understand and appreciate your honesty. Love you both evenmore. Hugs😙😙😙😙
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TO BOTH OF YOU. IAM HAPPY BECAUSE YOU 2 ARE HAPPY LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK
Both your eyes are overflowing with love and happiness 😍 And everytime you both laugh, it sparkles! That's LOVE! Cheers to your #MayForever journey! ❤ God bless your relationship!
Need another Q&A vlog. This was too short.
Happy Pride Month Mikey and Rj! I have a hunch that my sister is lesbian but I don't ask her either. I just knew because I'm her ate. Iregardless, my parents would still support her if there will come a time she'll confess to them I guess. Continue to spread good vibes. I watch all of your vlogs 💕
Yeyyy!!! Been waiting for this!!
Been watching your videos ages ago. I am so happy for you Mikey!🦄🦄🦄 Thank you for opening up to Mabuhay Squad. !💖
i love this epi...i love watching peoples vlog that is very authentic to themselves...i love it...thanks for being so honest mikey and rj. #pride
Just happy for you guys! Again, love you more😍. Live and love that's all!😍😘😗😙
I have lots of family that are in same gender relationship. Its never bothered me. But the way things are now I crack up when I get called Racist, Homophobic, etc. I love the vlogs
You both make my day! Truly! This channel is nothing but positive vibes and love!
Yayyy, thanks mikey and rj, this is so nice, I wish you all the best!
I LOVE your love! I'm so glad you've chosen to be open about your love.
Thank you Mikey, RJ, Jeah, and all! This was such an excellent video. Thank you for sharing your relationship with us. Brings inspiration and confidence. I think you two would make amazing parents if that's what you choose. Mabuhay!
Lol. What made me laugh was when Rj failed to remember their anniversary! Funny how it usually happens.
