I was in a Starbucks shop in Manila recently with no other than DowneLink’s infamous Dencio. He was with Paulo, his beloved partner (also of Closet Badets). We were waiting for Marco (the third guy who completes the triumvirate of the Closet Badets) who was then coming from a nearby school. To while away the time, I was teasing him about his almost magical prowess to hook up whenever he wanted, that was when he was still unattached. So the idea of a quickie interview came up — maybe I’d let Dencio give us some basic instructions on how to get laid in oh-so-gay Manila. Listen and learn.

nagpropromote ng HIV transmission issue ito
[Reply]
magpromote ba ng cruising? tsk tsk. another bad one migs. sira na nga image ng mga bakla dahil akala ng mga tao na puro sex ang habol natin, and here you go again confirming that cliche. hay nako, ur doing a disservice to your own kind, migs!
[Reply]
halakata! andali ni Dencio tuloy hanapin sa downelink….well, indeed iba na ang mga bading ngayon… at saka kanya-kanyang istilo yan ng paghahanap ng makakapaniig…hehehe
[Reply]
hahaha. mejo may ka jolografie nga ang kanyang boses.

NO GOOD!!! BEST WAY TO PROMOTE HIV AND AIDS IS PROMISCUITY
[Reply]
sa observation ko, nababawasan pa nga ng cruising pag nirerenovate ang malls. sinasadya yatang gawing less cruisy. case in point: greenbelt, even megamall.
anyway, hindi pa rin pala nagbabago ang real life cruising sa mga kabataan ngayon. ganoon pa rin! haha. nakakatakot lang pag kumakalat ang impormasyon na ganito kasi mainit sa mga kawatan, holdaper, oportunista, pulis-pulisang garapal at media-mediahang garapal din.
question for dencio: anong channel(s) sa mirc ang pinakabakla or paborito mo?
[Reply]
enough of these closet badets already. it has been done to death. you should be highlighting people who are confident, well rounded gays who are doing good not just for themselves but society as a whole. enough of these fearful, insecure and confused types. besides cruising is so 70’s. evolve already.
[Reply]
So elementary. Lahat ata ng mga bading alam na yan. It’s a cheap way of hooking up.
[Reply]
Expect that all the people who does this are magkakakilala na at maliliit na ang network. Lumiliit ang commercial value.
[Reply]
not that good podcast. siguro kasi rushed lang and the topic is kinda boring.
[Reply]
What’s new with what Dencio shared…everybody knows that already. Everybody knows those already. Even straight people know what he said.
[Reply]
walang kalasa-lasa…
[Reply]
uhm, this is soooo not my thing. i just find it shallow and indeed in appropriate. next topic please. the manila gay scene is so centered on hook ups and things like these.
[Reply]
ah owright… sabi mo eh
[Reply]
This is so not my cup of tea. Why subject yourself to obvious danger by actively looking for comfort of strangers? Nakakatakot ineng!!! I think the best way to meet someone “real” is to get involved in large groups and organizations. Try to meet people who is connected with someone you know. Nurture friendships and real relationships. Hindi naman kailangang romantic agad and simula. People grow. Friendships grow. Relationships grow. Malay ninyo?
Madali ang sex, relationships are harder. Sex’s only requirement is a dark corner, the submission of the body and exchange of potentially dangerous body fluids. While a relationship requires honesty, sincerity, responsibility, loyalty, restraint, consistency, patience and love. Go for the latter. After all, we are definitely more than just an extension of our penises. We have hearts, minds and souls. This is how we gays stop being victims and become empowered — when we are able to find out who we are, what we deserve and what we can share to others.
”SENTRO NG KALAKALAN” is so 70’s, di ba mga ineng? If your needs are purely carnal, expect a life of pain and disappointments. If you want to be loved, you have to be lovable. Please be careful of yourselves. Napakahirap na ng buhay ngayon. The streets are full of potential stalkers waiting for a willing victim.
Kung ang mga necklaces, cellphones at bags nga hinahablot, ano pa kaya ang gagawin ng mga bampira sa pusong nakabilad sa kalsada?
[Reply]
yeah… though it’s informative for some, this is still not a good post. =p
[Reply]
I wasted 13:45 minutes of my time listening to this non-sense interview!!!
Gays are not all sex!!!
[Reply]
amateur pa sa hooking scene yong iniinterview. Malayo pa kelangan mong lakbayin neng. Ang mga “kalakalan” na sinasabi mo are for cheap gays.
[Reply]
Migelita ano ba nangyayari sayo hindi ko pa man pinapakinggan to eh puro negative vibes na. another balahura post?? Super libog ka na ba? Aba neng nakak turn off na… itodo mo na kaya porn site mo na to at gawing kwentong kalibugan, Kabadingan= sex sex sex

[Reply]
Crap. Migs, come on. Delete this posting and podcast.
[Reply]
ay naku nasayang lang oras ko mag check dito…. nasan na ang dating magandang site ng manila gay guy na interesting… napalitan na ba ng mga badets? kainis….
[Reply]
parang hindi sincere ung si dencio parang pinipilit nyang maging formal ung mga answers nya he he sana sinagot nlng nya ng str8 to the point.
[Reply]
anong site ung cnbi???
[Reply]
What’s new? Everybody knows what Dencio mentioned in his interview. Wasted 13mins :46secs of my time listening to the interview. I thought he would say something that gays are not aware of.
[Reply]
Trashy interview
[Reply]
ok.. is that the dencio i know? from a band before? acquainted with pj olivares? who removed his downelink profile? i don’t know if u still remember me but u could check out my profile in downelink again.. so here’s the link = http://www.downelink.com/member/profile.aspx?id=759841 my i.d. is “tones” 26 yo
[Reply]
Yun na nga ang exact point dito…nagpropromote ng sakit…! Eh hindi mo nga lam kung ano ang maibabahagi ng makak partener mo sa kama. Bakit may signs ba ang HIV carrier? di ba gaganti at gaganti sila at magkikipgsex din sa mga taong inosente na ang sasabihin din nila ya nabiktima din sila dati na hindi nila din alam na ang kanilang nakasex ay infected din? Got my point mga kapatid?
Ano ba mga bakla…? sulong na hindi paurong! Tama yung sabi ng isa dyan na kilalanin muna…ang pagsisisi ay nasa bandang huli.
Pano kung ang naka niig mo ay carrier pala? Na nahawahan ka..? Eh di sising marino ka?
Kelan ka pa matututo kpg meron ka ng sakit? It’s never too late mga sis!!!!!!!
INGAT

Winner si Vini! Very well-put, Lilliput! LOL Based on the comments here, I’m not gonna even bother with the podcast. Nagdadalawang-isip ako but the comments helped (for now at least).
[Reply]
grabe parang ang buhay ay puro sex lang, lahat ng mga lugar conscious ka kung saan ka makikipag sex?
garapalan kaya madami nagkakasakit kasi sa mga ganitong style…..mga tago kasi kaya lalo nagiging alibugho….
[Reply]
ang boses parang taga parlor
[Reply]
whatever they say, i still love your blog migs
[Reply]
ayannnn!!! PURO KALIBUGAN!!! grow up…
[Reply]
I listened to the podcast “for the benefit of the doubt”, but I could not bear to finish it. It was utterly uninformative and yes it was a waste of time.
[Reply]
I’m sorry to say this, it sounds like the mission of this podcast is go to those ‘places’ and hook up (aside from giving a bad image to gay peeps) . I have nothing against to it, however I wasnt expecting it from this blog. Maybe it could’ve been nice if there was a consequences associated with the discuission, diba? Keep safe.
[Reply]
I totally agree with Vini. If you just want sex just go to sauna to save time and money at least you know you are safe as long as you practice safe sex. If you are outside more strange things happen that might put you at risk.
[Reply]
hahaha titigan, luksuhan ng dugo, labas ng dila…wow so deep! to each his own. waste of time nga…tsk tsk

“best way to promote HIV” is NOT promiscuity. it’s lack of education. come on, people.
[Reply]
Do you really think Bakla Review that the microscopic pores in condom is smaller compared to the HIV virus, well think again? Condoms might offer a mechanical barrier but until present time among the scientific community there is still questions regarding its efficacy for the sheer debates on the microscopic pores of rubber as compared to the more minute size of the HIV virus. Indeed Bakla review I agree, education is a contributory factor for the transmission of HIV. But do remember that a little KNOWLEDGE is a dangerous thing…
[Reply]
But to all gays who can not persevere and can not resist the temptation of casual sex. Condom is still the number one precautionary measures to prevent HIV transmission. But as I said its not foolproof. By the way BAKLA REVIEW im working with Imperial College Foundation Trust, London Paddington as an HIV researcher with Almoth Wright Ward.
[Reply]
This is scary. Not that I have any objections regarding how other people spend their time, but seriously, cruising is definitely not for me. I’m not into mindless, gratuitous sex– too many repercussions to consider. There’s the possibility of being caught (probably the worst way of being outed: broadcast on national TV) and HIV.

“welcome to mgg’s investigative journalism?”
what?
this is investigative journalism, you sure? because if this is one, those that i enrolled myself in could have been the WRONG courses.
hmmm…i felt insulted.
[Reply]
asus mga bakla..ang o OA NYO…you are still liable to your own doings…
i love u migs,..
[Reply]
anung MIRC na channel, where i could join bisexual chat room? meron ba?
[Reply]
Migs now you know better…
Sana tinanong mo na lang how this two “partners” keep it real. Kung sila ba ay naglalaro lang o tunay na nagmamahalan. If so, what’s their set-up? Open ba? Exclusive? Anung thoughts nila on open relationships if they’re exclusive and their thoughts on exclusivity if they’re open…the questions and possibilities of a more enlightening podcast are endless.
Tama na yang mga hadaan na yan.
[Reply]
babaduy ng boses.. i dont think i wana take their advice
[Reply]
Dita matarush ang comment mo gandara to the highest order ka. Magaling ka sa conceptualization ng script or interview whatevah hehehe very insightful ang iyong comment hope Migs will do a podcast with those kinda of questions. Hehehe very mild and educated but very interesting to i might add.
Congrats Migs the Manila gay guy to all your endeavours katuwa basahin mga komentaryo ng bakla sa kapuluan. Hmmm very cerebral.
[Reply]
middle class to lower class? hmmmm
[Reply]
to Rico Mambo, what the hell is “FOOLPROOF”? working in London, huh?!? geez…
[Reply]
Awww. Some people forgot how to have fun.
Come on people, why the hate?
Trashy, gratuitous sure, but isn’t there some fun (though tempered by caution) to be had there too?
Most gay men cruise. Deal with it. Judgments out the window please.
[Reply]
Ang point kasi dito, planuhin ng maayos ang topic ng podcast. Period. E sinu ba kasi yang mga sinalang? Kaibigan? Acquiantance? Ka-chat? Well, kung ka-chat lang mga yan and natuwa si Migs sa personality nila or their sense of fashion or whatever, that’s what you get.
Pero kung mga tunay na kaibigan yan ni Migs, siguro naman may LALIM, kasi MALALIM NAMAN ANG BLOGSITE NA ITEKLING NOH!!!
And Rico Mambo…thanks sa iyong appreciation! Pwede cash na lang???
[Reply]
rustcell: Natawa ako sa “VERY WELL PUT, LILIPUT” mo! Magamit nga ‘yang expression na iyan. Pahiram ha.
Anyways, one good thing that came out of this podcast is we are talking about the dangers of cruising. It may work for some, it may not work for most. Obviously mas maraming bading na “natuto” na sa leksiyon ng buhay na nagbabasa ng blog ni Miggs. Bongga yun! Bagito ka man o beterano, at the end of the day, nasa inyo pa rin ang desisyon mga kapatid. Mag-ingat na lang tayo sa madidilim na lugar. Kung madilim, huwag nang pasukin! Tense!
[Reply]
guys youre all so funny.. you keep telling that its non-sense and cheap, but look, 56 responses? you even say that you didnt finish the podcast, but you talk like you did.. sabagay, he wouldnt care kahit laitin nyo to, mapagusapan lang mga blogs nya ayos na.
i think lesson learned here would be, get organized. biglaan lang daw to, walang sabi sabi at wala lang sila magawa. ayan tuloy parang walang continuity. more podcasts pls..
[Reply]
“… may titingin sa ari mo…”
“Ayy… bastus…”
Ahahahaha! shet… comedy to… :p
di na ko magtataka kung may sakit tong mokong na to…
[Reply]
well, the old guy sounds like he’s from a parlor while the younger one sounds like his a social-climber.well, i believed that most of discreet guys with money opts to go to bathhouses rather than what you have mentioned here…
[Reply]
The closet is such a cramped space.
No wonder nagwawala ang mga ito pag nakakalabas.
Hahaha.
Anyway, guys chillax lang.
Everyone has their own opinions,
reactions and personal convictions and it’s nice to hear
these views from very articulate and intelligent people like you guys.
But we can always express what we think and feel without being too abrasive.
Easy lang mga boys. Kawawa naman si Migs.
[Reply]
“lukso ng dugo!?” ohh my god!
“labas ng dila?!” are we that graphic?
“likod ng sine” uso pa pla to?!
hehe! my mom should hear this! hehe!
[Reply]
one word: tasteless.
13 minutes of my life i will never get back. is this what investigative journalism has become?
[Reply]
bakit ganun ang comments? what is wrong about being into sex? if hindi mo type ang cruising why do you have to speak so hatefully about it? hindi na fun ang blog mo migz..mga posters dito all want serious stuff…boohoo…hate community na pala ito..
[Reply]
Deq : Are you implying that wala ka pang muwang sa sex? Granted that you are still “innocent”, mas magandang ma-discover mo ang kabaklaan mo on your own. Because if you are that naive, mas THRILLING and EXCITING yung ma-experience mo first hand. Yung mga cruising styles ng mga bakla, kanya kanya yan, kaya nga RAINBOW ang simbolo ng pagiging bakla e. Madaming kulay. Madaming kaganapan. Madaming versions. Kanya-kanyang experiences.
Kaya madaming nega reactions about the podcast is because 99% ng Pinoy gay community alam na yung pinag-usapan. Ganun lang yun.
Lighten up hokey? =)
[Reply]
wait… may nagoffer sa’kin ng smoke? is that person coming on to me?
ahahaha… maybe i just flatter myself… but casual sex is too… for those into it enjoy and good luck…
[Reply]

[Reply]
Ang mga kabaklaan napikon na lahat. Nailahad lang ang mga cruising nyo nung araw eh nagalit na lahat. Ano ang magagawa natin kug yun ang exciting experience nya sa pagiging gay nya. But you have the point maraming mapanamantala kaya ingat lang ang lahat. Kung maari tumingin na lang at wag ng makisawsaw.
