Medwin Marfil opens up on same-sex marriage

Sa loob ng tatlong taon, pabalik-balik na ng Pilipinas at San Francisco, California, ang lead vocalist ng bandang True Faith na si Medwin Marfil.

Bukod sa trabaho, isa rin sa dahilan sa madalas na pagpunta niya sa Amerika ay dahil doon nakabse ang kanyang partner na si Mark Angeles.

Sina Medwin at Mark ay batchmates noong high school.

Kahapon, May 15, 2024, ginulat ni Medwin ang netizens sa kanyang post sa Instagram kung saan ipinaalam nito sa publiko ang pagpapakasal niya kay Mark sa Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, California, noong May 11.

Ito ang unang pagkakataong isinapubliko ni Medwin na siya ay isang miyembro ng LGBTQ community.

“And now that my presence is here na, I can have the guys come over din here to do shows and tours sa North America.”

Sinisigurado naman niyang hindi mabubuwag angTrue Faith.

Aniya: “Definitely not. Exciting nga.

“Kasi itong new chapter ko sa buhay, buhay ko dito sa States, buhay na I’m no longer afraid who I am.

“I think it will improve the songwriting in richer ways kasi wala nang hindrance.

“Siguro dati I was a little vague with my emotions and all that, ngayon, this time, all out na.

“Last January, we were working on a new material. I wrote it, siya [Mark] yung inspiration ko.”

Dagdag pa ni Nedwin: “Sa mga nagtatanong kung tuloy pa ba ang True Faith? Tuloy pa rin, in whatever capacity.

“Alam mo yung mundo natin, it’s like a global village na.

“Madali na lang pumunta from one place to another to do gigs. And because of technology, me and my bandmates can make music even we’re far apart.

“Feeling ko talaga, sa situation namin, since we’ve committed together to each other, definitely mas based na ako dito.

“But True Faith will still go on. I think there will be, it’s exciting for us personally, and for the band as well.”

Tungkol naman sa kanyang kasal, ani Medwin, “It’s really about our marriage. Like, ‘Oh, Medwin just came out.’ But it’s more, like, ‘Med found somebody and they’re in love.’

“And I’m very proud of it, I’m very happy about it. I just can’t contain it.”
