ricky reyes is an icon na talaga. success is not measured by sexuality, it is measured by determination.

I’m very impressed with this guy. Despite the odds, he is able to reach the pinnacle of success. Equally impressive, is that he is able to retain his humanity which most often gets lost in the struggle to maximize the business bottom line (which is profit). The fact that he is able to employ so many people (thus improving their lives) and share his knowledge of the business with them, is commendable.

thanks for posting this. i wanted to see this i-witness episode but i missed it, and i’d been looking for it since.

Kudos to MGG for recently featuring more real gay people and their stories. These little diversions are a breath of fresh air from the usual hot abs and biceps we see on this site. It’s nice to stop ogling at hot straight men we’ll never really have, and look at our own selves for a change.

Maybe i-witness (gma7) will feature more gay icons soon. May I suggest, Boy Abunda? Hihihi.

Sabi nga ni Mama Ricky, “Ang bakla gilingin mo man ang labas baklang hamburger pa rin.”

ricky reyes is indeed a gay idol.

on the other side naman….migs, can u also share some info on joey gosiengfiao? i learned from the tabloids that he died with zero savings and his hospital bills were shouldered by some few friends. maybe we can learn a few lessons from his life…he was a success during his prime…and died penniless?

kaya kong may ;”american idol” syempri pa eh mayroon din tayong ;”pilipino idol” sya ay walang iba kundi ang nag-iisang dakilang “Mother Ricky Reyes”.Hindi ko man sya nakita sa personal damang-dama kong kagandahang loob nya sa kanyang mga tao at lalo na sa mga mahihirap.ako’y lubosang nagpapasalamat sa mga tao nya or hair dresser jan sa isa sa mga outlet nya sa robinson mall ermita/mabini dahil nang magbakasyon ako galing dito sa israel eh nagpaganda ako sa kanila at talaga naman palang totoong magagaling service nila eh.hair cut,facial,massage,at lahat2 ginawa nila sa akin.binigyan nila ako ng tudo service talaga halos maluka ako sa saya.kaya super gibsong naman ako ng tip sa kanila.sa pagbakasyon ko muli dadaan ako sa kanila para magpaganda. i love you mama ricky.God bless you more !

I wish they would as well feature seasoned writers/ authors and educators like Danton Remoto and Neil Garcia.

yes to mother ricky. yes to all the gays who have to do triple work to earn respect in their work. yes to all the self-sacrificing gays who labor unheralded for the sake of their family and loved ones. no to self-aggrandizing gays whose efforts at self-promotion are greater than their accomplishments.

I Salute you. Mother Ricky!!.. with matching standing ovation.. Such a good example not just for the Queer community but for straight as well..

we should emulate this person. visionary, hardworking, and very respectable. if we have gay recognition committee, mother ricky is very much deserving to be awarded first. inspite of he’s success he remains humble. according to him “hes feet are still on the ground, only he wears better shoes now”
