Why can't we have a gay president? | Boy Abunda | TEDxADMU 

After all these years, why didn’t I know that Boy Abunda had a Tedx talk???

Why did RU-vid recommended it only after 3 years? This is worth to watch!

Everybody is talking how it was recommended after 3 years but can we appreciate how clear his diction and pronunciation is?

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

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.

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.

It’s like boy is trying to explain the immaturity of our society

We have been all summoned today after 3 years

Sir Boy Abunda, Did a TED TALK ? Seriously ? This is so underrated.

I didnt know we had Tedtalk here in PH. I missed a lot

Women should not be shadows and extensions of men. --- Great line.

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.

Welcome to the "After 3 Years Club".

Tito Boy really just woke me up Figuratively and Literally

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

December 13, 2019 watching. Tito Boy is a very good speaker.

A president doesn’t represent a gender but the country

damn the way he speaks, it sounds so clear and smart

'Even beauty queens drink' got me. Haha!

This tear me up 💔😭👌💯 thank you Tito Boy 🤗❤️

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.

Been watching tedx talks for quite a while. Im surprised to see Boy Abunda did tedxtalk 😍 well said tito boy. 👏🏻

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.

"Even beaty queens drink" *he then drinks... -Tito Boy

I love how substantially expressive he is here

Thanks RU-vid for recommending me this! Definitely worth my time watching this.

Lets hear the truth... *You did not search for this*

"We are a blessing." 👏👏👏

Why does youtube just recommended it after 3 years?

let's be honest here, we didn't find the video, the video found us.

He sets the standards in public speaking ❤

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.

kadalasan sila yung pinaka nag eexcel sa lahat ng bagay so why becoming a president isn’t possible? antay lang tayo

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 was told that.." You can clearly see the huge difference between the older generations with the newer generations

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...

Dec. 30, 2019.. God bless ü Mr. Boy Abunda..

thanks for the recommendation

I believe this was in 2016. And this was a local presentation of TEDx.. good job, Boy!

Because it takes courage it takes courage for a person to face all the backlash.

This comment section should not run for President.

Sir Boy! Your words are so captivating!

In a matter of time, it's not WHY but WHEN.

OMG! I didn't know Boy Abunda was actually in TED TALK!

simply, no one ever tried to file a candidacy

I already watch this one and just this day, RU-vid recommends this again and *this is worthy*

This had just popped up today after 3 years! Why did I not see this 3 years ago?

If Presidents are as SMART, PROFESSIONAL,and as PASSIONATE as Mr. Abunda, I will definitely fight for my vote.

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

That was something. Thank you Tito Boy! Thank you!

Arghhh he touches my soul! Boy abunda!!! So brilliant

I didn't know Tito Boy Abunda had a TED Talk, myghad cassie.

Of course we can, no arguments or questions here. Competence and sincerity are what is required.

I cried with this video.kudos tito boy!!!you are truly inspiring.

the Philippine government needs people like you Tito Boy.

RU-vid somehow connected us all here

I can't stop rewatching this every so often.

This is so underrated. Salute to Boy Abunda.

Very well said salute Tito boyAbunda.... RESPECT TO ALL IS THE KEY PARA MAKAMIT ANG KAPAYAPAAN AT TAGUMPAY!!!

My gosh never knew Boy spoke in TED talk haha

As long as he is much qualified and have passion when it comes to leading a whole country I wont mind

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!

Tq RU-vid for recommending the video after 5 years

Im so thankful and grateful for these, thank u youtube and to u tito boy♥️ I've learned so much and gain so many lessons☺

the whole world needs to watch this

Very well said 👏

Awesome speech. Proud pinoy here You are a great Boy

I don’t know but I think some people miss the “point” of his argument.

I love how Tito Boy gave his speech. He is so brilliant!

What a very powerful speech. Thank you Mr. Abunda.

Okay, thank you for the TedTalk.

Very thought provoking speech,thank you,Mr.Boy Abunda. Yes we can,& soon I hope.

He is not The King of Talk for nothing.

It deserves a million views.

You are brilliant speaker and host Sir Boy Abunda

BRO THE WAY HE ALL SAY THAT I KINDA GET RELATE-

He had a ted talk? I felt like he disappeared from my life doe

wait wait wait- IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS AND I DONT KNOW THAT THE ONE AND ONLY BOY ABUNDA HAS A TED TALK??

I didn't know Tito Boy had speech in tedx,😍

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.

I should have seen this earlier. This is worth watching!

The king of talk👏

Sounds familiar... "We are many.." -Legion

amazing

The first speech I listened to from start to finish

wow I didn't know Tito Boy had a Ted Talk

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.

Watching right now and its so inspiring! ☄🌟

wow i didnt know he had a talk like this.

this is one on which we should look into, this matter.

soon it'll take time just like every situation boy said.

I think some comments are missing the point of this ted talk.

Love 💕 Thank you Tito Boy.

Within 4 years ngayon kolang napag tanto nag speech/talk pala si tito boy abunda dito ( TED TALK)

one of the best speech i listened!

"Clarity of vision, consistency of purpose, emotional intelligence, a healthy respect for public opinion." Just answered your own question.

Goosebumps

sounds like he is running for office on the next election
