Mark Herras


Mark Herras clarified the viral gay bar dance performance in an interview with 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' and shared what he told his wife about the issue.

Mark Herras has spoken up about his trending performance at a gay bar, where he danced his usual choreography onstage.

When asked by host Boy Abunda about his message to his kids if they ever ask one day about the viral incident, Mark answered, "It's about me providing for you guys. It's about me doing my work, and my job being a father, being a husband."

Mark said he has a message for his son Corky and his future baby with his pregnant wife Nicole Donesa.

"Para sa inyo itong ginagawa ko, para sa inyo ito. Everything that I do is for you guys."

He also revealed that he has his wife's permission to perform at a gay bar. "Siyempre nagpaalam ako sa kanya, na I'm going to dance sa gay bar."

"She's pregnant. I make sure naka-on 'yung location ko, alam niya kung nasaan ako," Mark added.

Though he had guests request to entertain them one-on-one at a table, Mark said he refused the offer.

"I declined it Tito Boy, kasi iniisip ko rin, 'Kaya ko bang mag-table?' No. I'm here just to perform.

"Hindi naman dahil pera, oo lang ako ng oo. May limitation."

Tito Boy asked Mark to give a message to everyone who supported and criticized him.

The actor said, "Sa lahat po ng mamamayan, sa buong Pilipinas, thank you everything. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for bashing me, sana eventually maintindihan niyo 'yung ginagawa ko, it's for my family, it's not for you guys, it's not for me, it's for my family."
