Metro Manila, Philippines – The partner of OPM singer Klarisse De Guzman expressed support after she came out as bisexual in the reality show, “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.”

In an episode aired Wednesday evening, April 2, De Guzman shared with housemates that she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

"Sa tingin ko ito na yung time para sabihin sa inyong lahat and to tell the world that I’m not straight. I am bi [bisexual]," she said.

[Translation: I think this is the time to tell all of you and to tell the world that I’m not straight. I am bisexual.]

De Guzman said she has been in a relationship for four years and had come out to her father before he passed away. She also shared that her mother is supportive of her relationship.

"Yung kinekwento ko sa inyo na may four years akong partner. Yes, I have a partner for four years. Her name is Trina. And hindi ko in-expect na masasabi ko ngayon ito. Wala lang, ang lakas lang ng loob ko para sabihin," she added.

[Translation: The one I’ve been telling you about - my partner of four years. Yes, I have a partner of four years. Her name is Trina. I didn’t expect to say this today. I don’t know, I just suddenly found the courage to say it.]

After the emotional revelation, Trina, or Christina Rey, expressed admiration for De Guzman’s courage in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter).

"I’m always here, always! I’ll wait for you here sa outside world. Love wins," she wrote.
