BB inalala ang pagkamatay ni Rustom

Kahapon ay inalala ni BB Gandanghari sa kanyang Instagram account ang anibersaryo ng kanyang bagong identity bilang BB Gandanghari. He recalled that it was Jan. 16, 2009 nang una niyang inanunsyo that “Rustom Padilla is dead” kasabay ng pagpapalit ng pangalan.

“On Jan 16, 2009, many of you may have seen or watched the arrival of BB Gandanghari at the Ninoy Aquino international airport declaring at the same time ‘Rustom is dead.’

“Today, I celebrate my 8th year of existence and boy, what a journey it has been.

“So far, SO GOOD though... well, despite all the not so good things that comes with it, you know discrimination, people’s judgement and scrutiny... and so much more.

“But that’s life, I’m telling myself, so I took it, even the most painful and hurtful words.

“And now, Jan 16, 2017, I once again acted on something that I have been contemplating for the longest time, even praying for it, and my GOD just willed it to be.

“THANK YOU! My heart is overflowing with joy for this answered prayer of mine and I am feeling strongly that a new chapter has just unfolded... So help me God! LOVE and PEACE everyone. CHEERS!!!” post ni BB.

Matatandaang last November, 2016 nang officially ay ma-grant na sa US ang kanyang legal name na BB Gandanghari at kasabay nito ay napalitan na rin ang gender niya from male to female.
