why cant we have a gay president? it shouldnt matter because we shouldn't choose our presidents based on sexual preference, we should choose based on competence regardless of gender. i pray we don't vote for people just because they are gay or just because they are ilocano, just because they grew up poor or any other label we may put on people, i pray we judge people as an individual and seek competence, leadership and empathy so we can have the best and brightest at the helm of the country.
yan ang problema sa pinoy, hindi mamataymatay ang regionalism... pag ilocano, die hard kahit anong bulok ng presidente , pag ilocano,, bulag sa kabulukan ang mga ilocano... davaoeno, kahit mamamatay tao iboboto ng mindanawenyo.. ... 21 st century na pero ganun pa rin utak ng pinoy
Yup... that's why, we choose DUTERTE because he is not coward... He is competent as a LEADER in our dying country.... I am not from Davao City.... I'm judging him by the way he lead his own City.
@Jeffrey Pinsoy id rather have that president who youre pertaining to as abnoy who is mentally ill but is compassionate towards filipino people rather than a sane president who's actually a wolf in a sheep's clothing.
We can have a gay president if we have a qualified one, question is, there was no gay candidate, i don't mind voting for a gay candidate as long as he has the merit.
Feeling ko kahit may qualified, hindi rin sya ipapanalo dahil sa estado nang pag-iisip ng mga pinoy tungkol sa LGBTQ+, eh malamang gagamitin pa nila yung pagiging bakla ng tao laban sa kanya.
@@patatas555 I don't think so. As long as, among the candidates, he/she is the most sincere, the most qualified, and the most likeable, Filipinos will vote for that person. Religious groups might be questionable, though.
@@facelesstrader1351 Miriam didn't win and she was the most qualified and most sincere, not the most likeable though. Most Filipinos just go with the flow, bet on who's the crowd-favorite...
I think it's my fifth time watching this. Boy reminds me of what I can be, he encourages me, and through his talk in this video, he pushes me to do good,and to "Always love my Nanay".
I think if you can see his message in a deeper meaning, for me it only implies that whoever you are, no matter what community that you are in, the most important thing is, you must have the traits of a great leader.
People commenting " it's not about gender, it's about the qualifications" or "di naman kasi gender ang basehan" clearly missed the point of this wonderful talk.
simple. gay people are a minority in our country. our country is also traditionalist and greatly affected by religion.plus what candidate has marked himself as gay? none at the moment.maybe in the far future.
@@jackbosconovitch7586 tanga ka rin. Basahin mo nga title ng video na pinanuod mo. Hahaha sana nilagay for all gender ang presidency. Eh bakit hindi ganun ang title? Ibig sabihin hindi iyun ang main goal at objective ng speech nayan.
interesting topic... it wasn't usual to take gays serious in political industry because they usually creative, entertaining and funny... and i think they're not a usual superior looking leader or ideal image for a president or generally in a political industry, maybe that's why we don't have a gay president... we can have a gay president if someone out there will love to serve and do what best to our country being as a president, posibleng iboto ko sya... kahit na may discrimination pa sa ganyang idea...
What an important and inspiring talk. Boy was brave to do this. “It is time we correct the wrongdoings of colonialism.” YES. We are all human beings. It’s unfortunate that many Filipinos are stuck with a backwards mentality of bigotry and homosexuality, sexism, etc. As a cisgender straight woman, I support and stand in solidarity with 🏳️🌈 LGBTQ people.
Wooow. That was a very powerful speech Tito Boy ❤❤❤✨. It was a mixed of talent, intelligent, and purity. You are rare. I'm looking forward for another speech from you.
Too much classifications. This is the reason why "man" is the most commonly used term to represent human beings in the bible. Classifications create priorities which always lead to prejudices.
That "man" in the bible have cause many discriminations in terms of gender where women and gays were at disadvantaged. Unlike precolonial Philippines we only used "siya" to refer to both he and she while bathala is said to be a genderless God. Women can lead as dayang dayang or datu. Gays can also become Babaylan, Asog, Bayog or Agi which is a highly respected shamans in the barangay. While you were basing in an imported religion not really from here?
This is a must-see. I've already watched it twice because it reminds me how unique and talented we are despite our gender issues. Kudos, Tito Boy. Truly inspiring!
That moment when you click the video immediately because it’s Tito Boy Abunda and even at first click ad appears but you’ll surely click the like button because you know this video wil be worth it
There's no argument. Any qualified Filipino can run for the presidency. If he gets more votes than the rest of the candidates then he will be president. Gays and lesbians are not being withheld from trying. Mr. Abunda is an intelligent, gifted person. He should have picked other topics to talk about.
I didn't searched for this thing but it suddenly pops up to my recommendation feed. Worth the watch Tito Boy😉You give the chills when you said two words " History and Common Sense" arrggghhh
After all these years, why didn’t I know that Boy Abunda had a Tedx talk???
Same!!!
SAME
Same
Yeah me too
Same here!
Why did UA-cam recommended it only after 3 years? This is worth to watch!
Sameee!!!!
Hahahah same
Agreee meruem
same
fr
Everybody is talking how it was recommended after 3 years but can we appreciate how clear his diction and pronunciation is?
Theres a time for everything.
Clearer still is his vision.
Ilove you po
Ganda mo
What for?

A president is a PERSON who represets a nation and not a certain gender.
galaxyEverAftr89 exactly

Eh bobo mga pilipino
XxGloomy SkyxX legit
Right
It’s like boy is trying to explain the immaturity of our society
Women should not be shadows and extensions of men.
--- Great line.
God said they must be.
Those lines offer many excuses to breed arguments and confusion to destroy the works and plans of God.
Nor vice versa.
@@princeneo777 So what do you mean?
Yuh, your Bible treats Woman as property
@@cosmicskepticfangirl1356 so you are assuming im a theist.

Sir Boy Abunda, Did a TED TALK ? Seriously ? This is so underrated.
I think it's my fifth time watching this. Boy reminds me of what I can be, he encourages me, and through his talk in this video, he pushes me to do good,and to "Always love my Nanay".
Like
Tito Boy really just woke me up
Figuratively and Literally
We have been all summoned today after 3 years
I didnt know we had Tedtalk here in PH. I missed a lot
well, this is "TEDx" -> locally organized.
Samme
Yes, we do. May I recommend Joey Ayala's version of our National Anthem? Really interesting.
I think if you can see his message in a deeper meaning, for me it only implies that whoever you are, no matter what community that you are in, the most important thing is, you must have the traits of a great leader.
For you to know you have to be me. But, since you cannot let me tell you that we are not half. We are whole.
-Boy Abunda
People commenting " it's not about gender, it's about the qualifications" or "di naman kasi gender ang basehan" clearly missed the point of this wonderful talk.
Welcome to the "After 3 Years Club".
December 13, 2019 watching. Tito Boy is a very good speaker.
damn the way he speaks, it sounds so clear and smart
A president doesn’t represent a gender but the country
Balasyajan.. 🤣
Pero bawal pa rin bakla or tomboy
@@midorimashintaro2613 who told you that?pls cite a law about that.
Liza Lagura bawal sa pilipinas kasi bobo pilipinas pero panget din kasi
True bro
simple. gay people are a minority in our country. our country is also traditionalist and greatly affected by religion.plus what candidate has marked himself as gay? none at the moment.maybe in the far future.
kadalasan sila yung pinaka nag eexcel sa lahat ng bagay so why becoming a president isn’t possible? antay lang tayo
Ian Vargas lalaki ang nag eexcel boy
*kadalasan. Press X to doubt
Hahaha lipat ka ng ibang lugar. Baka puro bakla nasa paligid mo kaya akala mo bakla lang nageexcel haha
@@charlesvallega6479 tanga ka kaya nga sabi kadalasan hindi sinabing bakla lang. Bobo mo
@@jackbosconovitch7586 tanga ka rin. Basahin mo nga title ng video na pinanuod mo. Hahaha sana nilagay for all gender ang presidency. Eh bakit hindi ganun ang title? Ibig sabihin hindi iyun ang main goal at objective ng speech nayan.
He sets the standards in public speaking ❤
Didn't know Boy Abunda did a TED Talk until September, 2024.
interesting topic... it wasn't usual to take gays serious in political industry because they usually creative, entertaining and funny... and i think they're not a usual superior looking leader or ideal image for a president or generally in a political industry, maybe that's why we don't have a gay president...
we can have a gay president if someone out there will love to serve and do what best to our country being as a president, posibleng iboto ko sya... kahit na may discrimination pa sa ganyang idea...
'Even beauty queens drink' got me. Haha!
Lets hear the truth...
*You did not search for this*
Know your Bible and the truth will set you free.
I search of this but not THIS i was surprised honestly
I did but didn't expect it will show up. It's great!
I'm only on TED ED not this.
@@princeneo777 shut up
This tear me up 💔😭👌💯 thank you Tito Boy 🤗❤️
Me too.. ☺️
"Even beaty queens drink" *he then drinks...
-Tito Boy
Love that though.. 😅
As long as he is much qualified and have passion when it comes to leading a whole country I wont mind
No
"We are a blessing." 👏👏👏
Its been 5 years but I am still coming back to this Ted Talk.Such a powerful talk!I hope my mum could be transformed through this Ted Talk.
Your mum sucks
This comment section should not run for President.
This comment section includes you though 😂😂😂😂
@@mandyr856don't be immoral
If Presidents are as SMART, PROFESSIONAL,and as PASSIONATE as Mr. Abunda, I will definitely fight for my vote.
First Last we had Miriam Santiago. Sadly, the majority didn’t see her worth.
No
the whole world needs to watch this
Been watching tedx talks for quite a while. Im surprised to see Boy Abunda did tedxtalk 😍 well said tito boy. 👏🏻
What an important and inspiring talk. Boy was brave to do this. “It is time we correct the wrongdoings of colonialism.” YES. We are all human beings. It’s unfortunate that many Filipinos are stuck with a backwards mentality of bigotry and homosexuality, sexism, etc. As a cisgender straight woman, I support and stand in solidarity with 🏳️🌈 LGBTQ people.
Lev. 20:13
I love how substantially expressive he is here
Why does youtube just recommended it after 3 years?
"Clarity of vision, consistency of purpose, emotional intelligence, a healthy respect for public opinion." Just answered your own question.
Not the same answer for everyone else in the Philippines.
>"I was told that.."
You can clearly see the huge difference between the older generations with the newer generations
Leadership is not a question about gender. It is a question about capabilities on leading a nation.
Dec. 30, 2019.. God bless ü Mr. Boy Abunda..
Ang kailangan natin ay matalinong presidente ,Hindi puro nalang naka base sa kasarian.
In a matter of time, it's not WHY but WHEN.
let's be honest here, we didn't find the video, the video found us.
I agree.
so that's the answer to the legendary question: why appear after 3 years?
makes me wanna laugh!
He is not The King of Talk for nothing.
Jumel Fortunado I AGREE!
Indeed.
Because it takes courage it takes courage for a person to face all the backlash.
I love how Tito Boy gave his speech. He is so brilliant!
Wooow. That was a very powerful speech Tito Boy ❤❤❤✨. It was a mixed of talent, intelligent, and purity. You are rare. I'm looking forward for another speech from you.
UA-cam somehow connected us all here
Bakit ngayon ko lang 'to napanuod.😭Tear-jerker and one of the most inspiring and powerful talks I've watched. Nakakabilib at nakakaproud ka Tito Boy!
BRO THE WAY HE ALL SAY THAT I KINDA GET RELATE-
I cried with this video.kudos tito boy!!!you are truly inspiring.
I understand why you cried cuz you're one of the gays
OMG! I didn't know Boy Abunda was actually in TED TALK!
the Philippine government needs people like you Tito Boy.
I already watch this one and just this day, UA-cam recommends this again and *this is worthy*
simply, no one ever tried to file a candidacy
Of course we can, no arguments or questions here. Competence and sincerity are what is required.
After so many years! His thoughts need to be heard by the whole nation rather the whole universe ❣️❣️
Share it..
sounds like he is running for office on the next election
No he didn't want to be an public official/servant😊
you have to work hard to earn that respect and chance to be a candidate for presidency
boy abunda calling out filipinos’ biggest toxic traits for 17 minutes
Very well said salute Tito boyAbunda.... RESPECT TO ALL IS THE KEY PARA MAKAMIT ANG KAPAYAPAAN AT TAGUMPAY!!!
I didn't know Tito Boy Abunda had a TED Talk, myghad cassie.
Awesome speech.
Proud pinoy here
You are a great Boy
Boy Abunda "The Abundants" 👍👍👍
This is so underrated. Salute to Boy Abunda.
Very thought provoking speech,thank you,Mr.Boy Abunda.
Yes we can,& soon I hope.
Di ko alam may TedTalk pala si Boy. Great!
Too much classifications. This is the reason why "man" is the most commonly used term to represent human beings in the bible. Classifications create priorities which always lead to prejudices.
Yup. Same reason why patriarchy pervades in christian dominated countries. Why not used the precolonial term "tau" which means people? Why only man?
That "man" in the bible have cause many discriminations in terms of gender where women and gays were at disadvantaged. Unlike precolonial Philippines we only used "siya" to refer to both he and she while bathala is said to be a genderless God. Women can lead as dayang dayang or datu. Gays can also become Babaylan, Asog, Bayog or Agi which is a highly respected shamans in the barangay. While you were basing in an imported religion not really from here?
That was something. Thank you Tito Boy! Thank you!
waaa eye opener to tito boy. bakit ngaun lang narecommend to saken 🙄.. worth it to watch!
This is a must-see. I've already watched it twice because it reminds me how unique and talented we are despite our gender issues. Kudos, Tito Boy. Truly inspiring!
I don’t know but I think some people miss the “point” of his argument.
You are brilliant speaker and host Sir Boy Abunda
I think some comments are missing the point of this ted talk.
Within 4 years ngayon kolang napag tanto nag speech/talk pala si tito boy abunda dito ( TED TALK)
I’m just here to read comments. 😇
Ariestocrata Studio haha xame here
Ariestocrata Studio same here 😆
Thanks UA-cam for recommending me this! Definitely worth my time watching this.
That moment when you click the video immediately because it’s Tito Boy Abunda and even at first click ad appears but you’ll surely click the like button because you know this video wil be worth it
No its not
My gosh never knew Boy spoke in TED talk haha
The king of talk👏

Gays and lesbians are not being withheld from trying. Mr. Abunda is an intelligent, gifted person. He should have picked other topics to talk about.
Acceptance po guro kuya hehehe. I think his point is why can't we accept fully LGBT in a sense that is true in words and actions. :)
“even beauty queens drink”
QUEEN LET THEM KNOWWWW!!!!!
I just seen this for almost 6 years omg! It’s worth it watch it helps a lot and it’s also additional learnings.
I can't stop rewatching this every so often.
Arghhh he touches my soul! Boy abunda!!! So brilliant
It's because of the deep-rooted Catholicism, unfortunately.
Christianity*
Unfortunately.
Sad reality
Because of religion
Akala ko Deep Throated Catholicism 😏
This had just popped up today after 3 years! Why did I not see this 3 years ago?
one of the best speech i listened!
Tq UA-cam for recommending the video after 5 years
Watching right now and its so inspiring! ☄🌟
boy abunda im a real fan thank you po i love u don't poor the Philippines im Crying :( 🇵🇭
This speech got me crying. Nice choice of words Tito Boy :)
Sir Boy! Your words are so captivating!
I didn't searched for this thing but it suddenly pops up to my recommendation feed. Worth the watch Tito Boy😉You give the chills when you said two words " History and Common Sense" arrggghhh
I believe this was in 2016. And this was a local presentation of TEDx.. good job, Boy!
No one:
UA-cam: Recommend!
Everyone can be a president or a representative of a country regardless of what gender it is. As long as a one person deserves for that position.
