“Ang tagal kong pinag-isipan kung sasali ako ng PBB kasi hindi ko alam kung kaya kong i-expose ang buhay ko. Actually, nung una nag-no ako, parang kaya ko ba? Kaya ko bang i-open ’yung sarili ko sa public. Eh, obviously nandito ako, so, kaya ko?” Klarisse shared, reflecting on her initial doubts.

Summoning the courage to make her truth public, she announced, “Tingin ko ito na ‘yung time na sabihin sa inyo and to tell the world that I’m not straight.”

She then officially identified herself as bi, revealing that she has been in a committed relationship for the past four years. “I’m am bi. ’Yung kinukwento ko sa inyo na may four years akong partner. Yes, I have a partner of four years (and) her name is Trina. Hindi ko in-expect na masasabi ko ito ngayon,” she admitted.

Her decision to come out on national television marks a significant personal milestone and contributes to greater visibility and representation of the LGBT+ community in Philippine entertainment.
