00:00All right, thank you, Kapuso.
00:01Trending now is the trans man and Stars Rock alumnus,
00:04Jesse Corcuera.
00:05You've shared that he's been pregnant for seven months
00:08with his first baby.
00:09Here are the pictures.
00:12How was Jesse's pregnancy journey?
00:14Let's find out from him himself.
00:17We have live with us now, Jesse Corcuera.
00:19Good morning, Jesse.
00:20Good morning.
00:20Good morning.
00:22What are you feeling right now?
00:23I asked him earlier,
00:24do you still have morning sickness?
00:25How many months do you have?
00:27Seven months.
00:28And you've never experienced it?
00:31I've never experienced it at all.
00:33So you've never experienced it?
00:34No, I've never experienced it.
00:36So how do you feel now that you've been pregnant for seven months?
00:39Now, it's a bit harder.
00:41My arms are numb and my hands are dry.
00:45Now, I feel like I'm really pregnant.
00:49Because in the first and second trimester,
00:51I didn't feel anything.
00:52I was like, do you really have a chance?
00:54Because it's like you're just full.
00:58And you hear other people who are pregnant now,
01:01they feel a lot of things,
01:02but you don't.
01:03Until you grow up.
01:04You first met in Starstruck Season 4 in 2006.
01:09Do you know your sexual identity then?
01:13By that time, I was still curious.
01:16But what I knew was that my best friend was a girl.
01:20Yes, that's you!
01:22How do you feel when you see yourself with full makeup?
01:24You look so good!
01:26You look so good, Direk!
01:29Alright, can you tell us about your transition?
01:32When and how did you face it?
01:34When did you start?
01:36In 2012, I started transitioning.
01:39Because there's a lot of research about transitioning.
01:46Before, when I was young,
01:47during the Starstruck days,
01:48there wasn't much.
01:50The only people who talked about it at that time
01:52were gays and lesbians.
01:55Only recently did the LGBT community talk about it.
02:01So, in 2012, I tried to transition.
02:06And then, after a year,
02:08I went through top surgery.
02:11That's when I realized that I'm not a lesbian.
02:16I'm a trans.
02:17Because I'm not comfortable with my physical appearance.
02:22So, I need to change it.
02:25Okay, so that's the difference.
02:26Because, of course, we're a bit confused
02:29about the differences.
02:30Actually, it's a deep topic.
02:32There are transgenders
02:35who don't undergo transitioning.
02:38Yes, yes.
02:39Transitioning meaning surgery?
02:41Yes, like hormone replacement therapy,
02:43injecting,
02:44and also taking pills.
02:48Okay, I see.
02:49But HRT is safer,
02:52the hormone replacement therapy,
02:53injecting,
02:55compared to pills.
02:56It looks like you researched.
02:57I mean, I guess you'll have to research well
02:59if that's what you want for yourself.
03:01Is it really in your plan to have your own baby?
03:03And how did the process of having a baby go?
03:07Before,
03:09I thought about it in the early 20s.
03:11But by that time,
03:14I didn't know much about it.
03:18And I didn't have much knowledge.
03:23It wasn't something that could be talked about
03:27in our community.
03:29Like, there's always IVF
03:32that can cause problems like
03:34having a wife,
03:35having a baby,
03:36or not having a child.
03:37That's the procedure.
03:39But as time went by,
03:41our science kept changing.
03:44It kept adding up.
03:46So, I did some research.
03:49I did AI,
03:51artificial insemination.
03:52So, the donor was the only one who injected me.
03:55Oh, that was just once?
03:57Actually, I trained him four times.
03:59Yes, because it's not automatic
04:01when you do a procedure.
04:02It succeeds right away.
04:03So, four times from the same donor.
04:06The one, two, three,
04:09it's different.
04:10Oh, it can be different?
04:11Because it's not the same?
04:12It's the same.
04:12But I thought my first donor might be weak.
04:16So, I tried another one.
04:17How do you feel about that?
04:19It's a different situation
04:20because you're a trans man
04:21and you're pregnant.
04:23How did people react to that?
04:25A lot of people were surprised
04:26and didn't understand
04:27how they felt about that.
04:29I expected that.
04:31It's one of the things I considered.
04:33Actually, the decision-making
04:37I wanted to push through the pregnancy.
04:41It was really hard.
04:42And in the making of the baby,
04:45it took almost three years.
04:46Because I also had hormones for a long time.
04:49So, I needed to stop.
04:50Wean from the hormones.
04:52Yes, I needed to go back.
04:53The estrogen increased
04:54compared to the testosterone.
04:56I did a lot of preparation.
04:58It's not just one-click.
05:00I thought,
05:02I'm going to have a baby now.
05:03Correct.
05:03I'm going to have a baby.
05:05It's not like that.
05:07I also want to share that
05:09it takes time.
05:13It's not just for fun.
05:14Financially, emotionally,
05:15mentally, everything.
05:18It's like,
05:19it's more like a rollercoaster.
05:22Of emotions, right?
05:23And also...
05:25My emotions from testosterone
05:27went down to estrogen.
05:32So, there were a lot of changes.
05:33That's why I'm proud of my partner.
05:36She's the one who went through it all.
05:38That's true.
05:39Especially now that I'm pregnant.
05:40She always says,
05:41it's because of the hormones.
05:43Yes.
05:44Though I don't really understand it
05:46because it's my first time.
05:47Right.
05:48Okay.
05:49Here's the question.
05:50Have you thought of a name for your baby?
05:53I already have one,
05:53but I just gave the name Palayaw.
05:56It seems like it's in vogue now.
05:57Palayaw comes first.
05:58What is Palayaw?
05:59Can I say that?
05:59Yes, it's Ninja.
06:01Ninja!
06:02It's in my post.
06:03It's so cute!
06:05So, you haven't thought of
06:06what Ninja's full name will be?
06:07I already have one,
06:07but I didn't think of it.
06:09Okay.
06:10But that's a cute nickname, Ninja.
06:13And congratulations again, Jessie.
06:15Thank you for having me.
06:16And of course,
06:17there's a gift for your baby.
06:19It's like your baby shower.
06:21There!
06:25There, for your baby.
06:27There.
06:28We still don't know
06:29if it's a boy or girl,
06:29or it's your secret.
06:31I just announced it.
06:32Baby girl.
06:33It's a baby girl.
06:34Our box should be pink.
06:36Of course, there are
06:38tie-sides here
06:39so that you can tie the baby
06:42faster.
06:43And of course,
06:43we have baby bottles,
06:45and mittens, and everything.
06:46Congratulations, Jessie.
06:48There.
06:48Safe pregnancy journey for you.
