My wife and in-laws are filipino and this issue has confused me.
In any case, my wife has pretty much stopped watching a lot of her filipino media with a very famous tranny on. She hasn't said much about it, but I suspect the bullshit culture war here is playing a part.
It isn't like Thailand in the Philippines, because the sexual aspect of ladyboys isn't talked about. Most of the prominent gays are monogamous (or at least pretend).
I agree with the other poster who said a primary difference with the west is that the filipinos are clearly just playing dress up.
Being gay is definitely tolerated over there though.
