Ice Seguerra undergoes hormone replacement therapy

ICE Seguerra is undergoing hormone replacement therapy: “The problem is me accepting me.”

According to transhealth.uscf.edu, female-to-male hormone replacement or “masculinizing hormone therapy” deals with the development of “male secondary sex characteristics” and supresses “female secondary characteristics.”

Among its side effects is the growing of facial hair, changes in the voice, and increased muscle mass.

Concerned citizens are thinking if his voice won't get affected by this hormone therapy.

“Nasa transitioning pa lang, so hormone replacement. And of course, pinakamalaking issue talaga diyan is yung boses. Of course, people love what they hear sa akin. It is a big risk. This is my bread and butter. I feed my family sa pagkanta ko, e.

“Siguro naman yung ganda ng boses, hindi mag-iiba. It’s just that bababa siya nang kaunti and all those things. I’m just happy that there's gender diversity center opened, so at least may doctors na to talk to about this.

“Maybe that’s the first step.”

Ice cleared the issue that he's no longer using his birth name Aiza.

This is despite his declaration that he's a “trans man”

“I came out as trans around four or five years ago. That time, wala pang conscious decision talaga to change my name. Kasi para sa akin, yun na yung kilala ng tao, e. Pero as time goes by, parang alam mo yung pag tinatawag kang Aiza, parang iba na, parang hindi na ikaw yun.”

Ice Seguerra on possibility of undergoing sexual reassignment surgery...

“Nung una, andun rin ako sa parang, 'Why? Bakit kailangan? Bakit ganito?' Pero alam mo, sometimes, especially nung nag-come out na ako as trans, it's so hard waking up every day seeing that you're in this body.”

However, Ice formerly known as Aiza Seguerra thought of it undergoing sexual reassignment.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, Ice said...“I’ll be very honest. Nung una, andun rin ako sa parang, ‘Why? Bakit kailangan? Bakit ganito?”

“Pero alam mo, Tito Boy, sometimes especially nung nag-come out na ako as trans, it’s so hard waking up every day seeing that you're in this body.

“Alam mo yung pakiramdam na hindi naman eto dapat yun?”

Ice admits he and wife Liza Dino talks about it.

“Kasi nung una, parang hindi rin niya magets, e. For her, ‘Tinatanggap naman kita, e. For me, you’re a man.' Sabi ko, ‘It's not about that. Thank you for accepting me. But the problem is me accepting me.’”

Zanjoe Marudo was spotted at the surprise birthday bash of 19-year-old surfer-model Josie Prendergast who's based in the province of Siargao.

There are speculations that Zanjoe, 35, seems to have special feelings for Josie after he flew all the way to Siargao for her 19th birthday celebration last June 19.

Josie is a surfer-model who's born to a Spanish-Filipino mom and a Scottish-Australian dad.

In her Instagram post dated June 20, Josie showed videos of her family and friends who threw a surprise party for her at her hometown in Siargao.

Josie's caption read: “Can’t accurately describe the feelings I felt yesterday. Being woken up at 4am In the morning to those you love most singing outside my home was indescribable. I am so grateful / lucky and very very blessed to have such loving family and friends.”

While Zanjoe was not included in Josie's Instagram post, other photos of him at the party made rounds online and sparked romance rumors between them.

As it happened, Zanjoe and his former My Dear Heart co-star Hyubs Azarcon were among the guests at Josie's party.

This was based on Zanjoe and Hyub's photograph with a non-showbiz girl named Natalie Gonzaga, who also had photos with Josie at the same occasion.

Zanjoe may have been keeping the real score between him and Josie under wraps, but he did post on Instagram a picture of him about to jump off the famous diving board in Sugba Lagoon, Siargao.

His caption, written in Bisaya, read: “Dili ako malukso.”

Josie had also posted via Instagram Story a similar picture taken at Sugba Lagoon, but did not write any caption on it.

But it should be noted that it was in Josie's Instagram Story last May when she and Zanjoe were first seen together in a photo.

Netizens have also noticed that Zanjoe has been dishing out lots of kilig hugot lines of late.

Just like when his former leading lady Angel Locsin left a comment saying, “Naku mahirap ma-fall dyan [smiley]”

Zanjoe replied, “@therealangellocsin nakakalula”

In Zanjoe’s separate Instagram post, he also threw a punchline about experiencing love at first sight.

Netizens couldn't help but ask, “Could he be pertaining to Josie?”

After his transfer to GMA-7, John Estrada is set to do a cameo appearance in the Star Cinema movie I Love You, Hater.

The Kapuso actor announced this on Instagram last June 19, when he posted a photo with Julia Barretto, Joshua Garcia, and a production crew of the film.

Star Cinema is one of the four movie production brands under ABS-CBN Films, the movie arm of the Kapamilya network.

John is set to do a guest role in the upcoming movie I Love You, Hater, starring Kris Aquino, Julia Barretto, and Joshua Garcia.

The 45-year-old actor posted on Instagram a photo with the JoshLia love team and a member of the production team while shooting for the movie, which will open in July 11 in cinemas.

John wrote, “Guested in this soon to be blockbuster movie “I love you Hater” with these two lovebirds @garciajoshuae and @juliabarretto ... with the very masipag panky.... Directed by Miss Gisele Andres....i missed @krisaquino on the set... #july11na#starcinema”

John and Joshua worked together in the defunct Kapamilya series The Good Son.

However, in the middle of the series, John's character got killed off.

Around the time of his departure from the show, John allegedly had a confrontation with one of the teleserye's cast members, Mylene Dizon.

Days after his last appearance in The Good Son, the actor dropped hints on Instagram that he is starting a new project.

It was later confirmed that John would be signing a program contract with the Kapuso Network.

On May 2, John formally signed an exclusive TV contract with GMA-7, after being with ABS-CBN for more than 20 years.

Aside from I Love You, Hater, John is also busy preparing for his first Kapuso series, Victor Magtanggol, starring Alden Richards.
