Jake Zyrus, formerly known as Charice Pempengco, shocked the online world when the trans man singer posted a topless selfie on his Instagram account.
The 25-year-old singer, who is currently in his transition from female to male, shared the topless photo that he took when he was taking a dip at Anguib Beach in Sta. Ana, Cagayan.
“Di pa game eh. Pero yung GoPro atat. Akala mo tuloy naghahanap ng away. Hahaha!” he captioned the photo.
Jake previously admitted that he has undergone top surgery last year to make his chest flat.
According to the singer, the surgery made him feel like a new person.
“Umiyak ako! Kasi, pagkagising ko, ‘Flat na siya!’ Talagang umiyak ako, tapos sinurprise nila ako ng cake, tapos kinantahan nila ako kunwari ng ‘Happy Birthday.’ Nakakatuwa. I remember apat na doctor ang gumawa. Nakatayo lang ako, talagang tinitingnan nila…” she told PEP.
Jake also said that the surgery is helping him to achieve the toned muscular body that he aspires to have.
Aside from the top surgery, the singer has also been taking testosterone hormones to deepen his voice. He also previously admitted that he is open to completely changing his sex.
