20 Filipino Celebrities Who Have Opened Up About Receiving Indecent Proposals
Stars often find themselves in the spotlight, facing a barrage of attention from fans and admirers alike. However, along with the adoration comes a fair share of indecent proposals… and it seems no one is immune to them. What else is there to do but approach these moments with a blend of resilience and wit, turning potentially uncomfortable encounters into entertaining tales?
From risqué messages in their social media inboxes to explicit requests during public appearances, these famous names encounter the darndest propositions. Here are some Filipino celebrities who have opened up about receiving indecent proposals—and how they handled it.
Richard Gomez
In an interview on Bea Alonzo's vlog, Richard Gomez admitted that he not only received indecent proposals but that he received them from a fellow actor. "There's one that's really significant na hindi ko makalimutan, taga-showbiz din, supporting actress… sabi niya, 'Anakan mo naman ako,'" he recounted. When Alonzo asked if he if he ever accepted them and if he'd ever given one himself, he said no.
Marian Rivera
"May mga nag-warn na nga sa akin regarding that. Siguro hindi na ako masa-shock kasi may ganyan naman talaga. Ayoko lang isipin na magiging aggressive sila sa akin. Ayoko rin nang pipilitin ako kasi hindi ko gusto ang ganun," responded Marian Rivera when asked about indecent proposals. "Tama na ‘yung makipagkaibigan siguro sila sa akin. 'Yung mga indecent proposals, huwag na lang kasi hindi ‘yan maganda at walang assurance ‘yan na magugustuhan kita. Siguro itulong na lang niya sa mahihirap na pamilya ang anumang iaalok sa akin. Matutuwa pa ako sa kanila."
Marco Gumabao
P2 million is the price Marco Gumabao was offered to pose for a nude photo shoot. He recounts: "May mga nakuha na ako dating mga indecent proposal, pero siguro yung pinaka nabastusan ako, yung pinaka hindi ko talaga nagustuhan, kung paano niya sinabi sa akin. Gusto niya akong mag-pose nang nude para sa isang photo shoot. Sabi ko, 'Bakit? Para saan? Brand ba ito? Para saang magazine ba ito?' Sinabi niya sa akin, 'Hindi, personal shoot lang.' Parang sabi ko, 'Ah, okay.' So, medyo gets ko na ang gustong sabihin ng taong iyon."
Yasser Marta
The largest amount Yasser Marta was offered was six digits. "Meron, minsan straight to the point na magpepresyo agad," he said. "Kaya medyo napatigil ako nung nakita ko, e! Pero hindi. Ako minsan, pag medyo sobrang over na nung mga comments and message, minsan hindi ko na lang din nire-reply-an."
Donnalyn Bartolome
With a massive social media following, Donnalyn Bartolome has gotten attention all over the world. In fact, she's even received indecent proposals from a prince. "I've had indecent proposals. May nag-email sa akin, babayaran ako ng isang gabi just to go on a date... Totoo, may nag-offer ng ganun. Meron ding prince sa ibang bansa... nakakatawa," she shared. Her manager chimed in and said, "I remember the first ones. Lamborghinis, offering gold, offering cash."
Juan Carlos Galano
"It was kind of scary," said Juan Carlos Galano about his experience. "The picture on the icon was a big guy, like a bodybuilder. Ang message niya, 'Bro, do you wanna be muscle worshipped?' [I was like], 'Ano yung muscle worship?'" So, he asked some friends to help him out. "I contacted my gay friends or friends in the LGBT community. Sabi ko, 'Pare, ano yung muscle worship?' As in, sabi ko hindi talaga ako aware dun sa term. Apparently, it’s ano ba... what they say is you stand in front of the patron and he services himself, in a way na he’s just worshiping you, you just stand in front of him. I don’t know, butt naked or wearing whatever he wants, ta's you get muscle worshipped, worshipping your muscle, ganun." He quickly noped out as he was caught off guard.
Albie Casiño
Albie Casiño was quick to blast a user who offered him an indecent proposal on Instagram. The actor said, "Woah! I've gotten indecent proposals before but this one is wild! You wanna eat me that bad man? Chill broooo" while sharing a screenshot of the message in his inbox. "I eat you for breakfast tiny man," the user said.
Ivana Alawi
"You can look, but you cannot touch," is all the Ivana Alawi has to say about such propositions. "Andami. Sobra," she admitted. "Actually, andami, sobra… Lalo na ngayon, parang feeling nila makukuha ka kasi, di ba, I show skin pero dinededma ko sila and minsan, sinasabihan ko, ‘No, you cannot buy me."
Jeric Gonzales
Jeric Gonzales has accepted that indecent proposals are part of fame. "Hindi naman mawawala yun. Hindi ko na po pinapansin. Yung iba po, nagpapakilala na politicians sila. Sinasabi po talaga nila, pero siyempre hindi natin alam kung totoo o hindi," he says.
Josef Elizalde
After starring in sex movies, Josef Elizalde shares that he started getting offers. "I got a lot of messages from mga LGBTQ [members] na humihingi sa akin bigla ng mga fantasies nila. “Madami, madaming nag-message, mga indecent proposal din. If willing ba ako na gawin yun sa totoong buhay."
Kim Domingo
Kim Domingo was getting indecent proposals even before she was famous. The offers mostly come from older men, and the offers have included "bahay, lupa, sasakyan, at saka monthly allowance." She also admitted that the offers increased after she landed an FHM cover.
David Licauco
In an interview with the Philippine Star, David Licauco talked about receiving indecent proposals. "Honestly, nu'ng start, nu'ng nag-stastart ko pa lang mag-post ng topless, mas marami eh... Actually, mas less na ngayon. Siguro naisip nila na hindi talaga ako pumapayag sa gan'un. Pero meron pa rin pailan-ilan, actually. Pailan-ilan pa din. Tsaka tumaas na ang offer ngayon, ano na, P1 million na ngayon! Oo! Dati P50,000 lang," he said. "I'm used to it na. It doesn't matter na to see these things. I don't get offended na. Because for sure, kaya lang naman sila nag-offer ng gan'un is because nakita nila akong naka-brief eh. Kaya ngayon, kahit may nag-twi-tweet sa'kin ng kabastusan, 'di ako na-aaffect, to be honest. Eh wala eh, nag-post ako ng gan'un eh."
KC Montero
KC Montero took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a shady proposition he got. The message started off by asking the host if he could be had for a night. Thinking it was a work gig, Montero requested for specifics by asking if it were for a wedding. In the end, he was lightly offended by the lowball offer and offered his brother Troy Montero and friends Kris Lawrence and Jay-R, claiming that they did "package deals" as a humorous response.
Aljur Abrenica
In an interview with PEP, Aljur Abrenica admitted that he once received an indecent proposal from a wealthy man. He even went as far as talking to the actor's father and offering him a brand new vehicle.
Dominic Roque
Despite tempting perks from indecent proposals, Dominic Roque says he always refuses them. The most he was offered was a house and a car, but he stated in the interview that he was happy to live humbly and modestly. "Ako, okay naman ako, e. Nabubuhay naman ako nang maayos, kumikita naman ako nang maayos," he said.
Derrick Monasterio
Derrick Monasterio is well aware that his thirst traps get a lot of people's attention. He says he's used to indecent proposals and he approaches them with kindess. "Kapag nakikita ko sa mga party-party, ganyan. ‘Tapos, bibigyan daw ako ng mga kung anu-ano. Sinasabi ko na, ‘Hindi mo po ako kailangang bigyan, kasi hindi ko naman birthday, at hindi naman tayo friends.’ Pero nagpapakilala ako, 'Derrick po, good to meet you.' At least, para kakilala ko na. Maganda naman ang pakikitungo ko sa kanila, kaya hindi rin sila nangungulit. Kasi, parang alam nila na pasok in a good way,” he said.
Ellen Adarna
While on Mo Twister's 40 Forbidden Questions, Ellen Adarna said that she got indecent proposals from an actor and a senator. She said: "Bong Revilla texted me a lot of times like 'you wanna meet up.' Ganun lang naman. Nothing really straightforward."
Derek Ramsay
"I get offers all the time… I get pictures sent na nakahubad sa DM [direct messaging]," said Derek Ramsay. "Yung isa nga ay sinagot ko na, ‘You shouldn't do this to yourself.’ Medyo sobra, kasi ang bata pa and, I'm sure, it's not even her picture. Sinasabi ko, ‘Wag mong gawin ito sa sarili mo, hindi siya maganda.’ So, yung mga ganun, pinapabayaan ko na lang talaga."
Herlene Budol
Herlene Budol admits that she does get indecent proposals especially after she joined two national pageants. She turned these down, however, saying: "Pero inicip ko nasa maayos naman karera ko at gusto ko pinag hihirapan indi yung one tym big tym."
Marco Gallo
Marco Gallo only had this to say about indecent proposals: "I read them and I’m, like, maybe if one day I’d be really that desperate, I’ll think about it. Hahaha! Just recently, I got an email from someone, 'Hey, can you come to lunch with me? Let’s have lunch.’ Okay, P35,000, and then I look at my friends and I’m, like, 'Guys, do you wanna have some lunch?' But no, I just have really a rule for my own soul, for myself, and I just believe that there’s no shortcuts in life. You really have to go through hard work to earn money. Because, yeah, you can cut money through indecent proposals. No one will know about that. But, what does that say about yourself?"
