Singer-songwriter Ice Seguerra has expressed his wish for people to stop comparing him to fellow artist Jake Zyrus.
In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph during the media conference for the “Love, Sessionistas” concert, Ice candidly shared his thoughts on the matter.
“Ako, I honestly wish that people would stop comparing us. Kasi, okay, we’re both trans, but, hindi porke pareho kaming trans, pareho kami ng journey,” the former child star said.
“Iba-iba ang tao. Iba-iba ang journey natin. Iba-iba ang pinagdadaanan ng tao. Iba-iba ang pupuntahan natin,” he added.
Ice emphasized the importance of respecting their individual journeys, saying, “I have my own journeys. He has his own journey. So, I hope they respect his journey as well. Stop comparing us because hindi nakakatulong yun, e.”
He also made a plea to the public: “Kumbaga, tigilan na natin iyan. Let Jake be Jake, di ba? Kung saan siya masaya, we’re just [here] to support him.”
“Actually, wala namang makakapagsabi na dapat ganito ka, dapat ganyan ka. Journey niya ito, e. Wala naman siyang sinasaktan na tao. Bakit tayo nangingialam sa mga desisyon niya sa buhay?” Ice added, emphasizing the need for understanding and acceptance.
Ice, who is part of the “Sessionistas” group launched on ABS-CBN’s ASAP in 2009, will be performing alongside fellow artists Juris, Sitti Navarro, Princess Velasco, Kean Cipriano, Duncan Ramos, and Nyoy Volante in the upcoming Love, Sessionistas pre-Valentine concert, which he will also be directing.
