Singer Darren Espanto responds again to those questioning his sexuality in a recent vlog of his friend and young singer Kyle Echarri.
At the start of the conversation, Darren explained how he deals with bashers.
“How do I deal with those people? You know what, just don’t mind them. Kasi sa industriyang ginagawalan natin — Kyle, alam mo ‘yon — we’re always going to run into people like that, especially bashers. Kasama ‘yan sa mundo ng showbiz and all that. I personally don’t mind them,” Darren said.

Kyle then asked the singer if there is one particular issue that he wants to clarify once and for all.
“Like a lot of people are like ‘bakla ‘yan kasi.’ Oh yeah, for real, ever since ‘The Voice Kids,’ when I started singing songs that are always for girls or like I have a high voice, in general. They always assume my sexual preference pretty much. But I’d like to let everyone know that I’m straight,” Darren said.
Darren said that it gets tiring answering this issue from time to time.

“I’ve addressed this before but the thing is always parang wala na silang ibang mahanap. So kapag bored sila sasabihin nilang ‘Ah bakla ‘yan.’ So ‘yun,” he added.
Both Darren and Kyle came from the reality singing contest ‘The Voice Kids’.
