Agot on Duterte calling Hilbay gay: 'Straight po siya. Straight din ako'

Agot Isidro on Wednesday took to Twitter to respond to President Rodrigo Duterte, who called her boyfriend, Pilo Hilbay, gay.

"Straight po siya. Straight din ako. Straight kami. Straight 8," the actress tweeted, taking the opportunity to name-drop the opposition coalition Otso Direcho, of which Hilbay is a member.

"At isyu ba talaga ang gender?" Agot added, voicing her support to the LGBTQIA+ community and saying gender identity and preference had nothing to do with a person's integrity.

"Pero ang pagmumura at pagpatay, we’ll that’s a different story," she ended.

Straight po sya. Straight din ako.

Straight kami.
Straight 8. #OtsoDiretso

At issue ba talaga ang gender? #LGBTQIA supporter ako, naniniwala na ang gender ay walang kinalaman sa integridad ng isang tao.

Pero ang pagmumura at pagpatay, we’ll that’s a different story. ???? https://t.co/vUdJdB9snz
