Actor and TV host Alex Diaz is saying hello to the possibilities of finding his spark in Philippines’ first boy’s love dating game show, Hello Searcher, produced by Black Sheep.
In his Tiktok account, Alex shared that even if he has been trying to create visibility in genderless love and bisexual people for years, by doing this show, people who are encountering the same situations as him feel understood.
“I love disrupting and jumping at any opportunity to create representation in our beloved conservative Filipino industry. Somewhere out there, there is a little boy or old man, who never had someone to look up to on TV who sees this and feels seen. That is always a win in my book,” said Alex.
Helping Alex in the online show is the first Miss Trans Global, Mela Habijan, who will serve as the host or the “Mother Sparker.”
In Hello Searcher, six lucky searchees will go through exciting virtual challenges and games until one searchee remains.
Viewers can be part of the first boy-love dating game show through the Sparks Call, an audition for the show’s searchees. The online audition is open to all male Filipinos living in the Philippines or abroad but willing to travel in the country, 21 years old and above, and must be able to understand Filipino. To audition, fill out the online form and send their audition videos through bit.ly/HelloSearcherSC.
