Tila may isang mahalagang misyon ang Kapamilya star na si Adrian Lindayag matapos niyang ma-diagnose na HIV positive.
Sa eksklusibong panayam ng ABS-CBN News nitong Huwebes, Abril 4, ibinahagi niya ang tungkol sa kaniyang sakit.
“It was late 2017 when I was diagnosed as positive for HIV,” kuwento niya.
“People would always ask me what my next role or what is my dream role. I always say it is still Angel because I need to tell his story on a bigger stage,” aniya.
Ang tinutukoy niyang ‘Angel’ ay ang karakter na muli niyang gagampanan sa musical play na “Rent” sa darating na Abril 19.
"I was inspired by the story of Angel who lived a full life even with HIV. That is what I want to embody. Somehow I feel like I have a second life,” saad ni Adrian.
“I’ve been living in shame for the past few years and I just got tired of it. I want to motivate them to get tested. Knowledge is power. You can live a full life and be a person like me, you would not even know. I take a pill and I took that test. I have friends who passed away from this disease because they were so scared to get themselves tested and visit the clinics. But these pills are free. Younger people do not have to die anymore," dugtong pa niya.
Bukod kay Adrian, tampok din sa naturang musical play sina Jordan Andrews, Mister Universe Philippines Markki Stroem, Guji Lorenzana, Ian Pangilinan, at marami pang iba.
