MANILA,Taste of Younger Sister in law (2025) Philippines — It wasn't too long ago that TV and film productions for mass consumption relied on cartoonish stereotypes of LGBTQ characters.
Often, over-the-top gay characters were written into the plot merely for comic effect.
But today, more Filipino movies and TV shows have invested in developing more mature portrayals of the LGBTQ community, in an effort to promote respect and understanding.
The public is responding. Some of the mainstream TV shows with gay characters have enjoyed high grossing numbers, while the actors portraying them are embraced by families gathering to watch them in the living room.
The country’s highest grossing film in history, raking in over half a billion pesos ($10.38M) so far is Beauty and the Bestie, a riotous comedy about a photographer played by popular openly gay comedian Vice Ganda.

Many plot lines have tried tackling relationship drama with a lighter hand. In the popular TV series, Till I Met You, viewers are introduced to Ali, played by JC Santos. His character is in love with Basti, played by James Reid, who already has feelings for Iris (Nadine Lustre).

While the movie is billed as a comedy, it has been hailed by critics for tackling LGBTQ portrayals with respect, inviting viewers to empathize and engage with the characters.

In one of the episodes of drama anthology Maala-ala Mo Kaya(Can You Remember), a transgender woman Erica (played by Albie Casino) goes through heartbreak, eventually finding personal triumph for what she believes in.
