Leandro Munoz, a 44-year-old former actor, has expressed his "100 percent support" for his 26-year-old transgender son, Frankie.
Frankie came out publicly with his sexual orientation ten years ago, and Leandro has always been proud of him.
This is something I will never ever hide from the public or anyone should hide from the public because this is a serious matter.
When Frankie was 16, he first opened up to his father about his gender identity, using the name Francesca at the time.
Leandro recalls the moment:
Yung anak ko, noong nag-turn siya ng 16 years old, kinausap niya ako. He was crying, sabi niya, 'I need help. I need help maybe from a psychiatrist.' Sabi ko, 'Why?' Because attracted daw siya sa same sex. Then I said, 'There’s nothing wrong with you.'
