The comedian had previously said that his father died not knowing that he is gay.</p><p>&quot;It takes one to know one. Medyo malambot na siya pero we are trying to overlook everything kasi siya &#x27;yung pinaka-daddy&#x27;s boy,&quot; Emma said.</p><p>&quot;One time nahuli ko siya. UAAP dancer kasi ako before sa FEU, mayroon kaming UUAP number nahuli ko siya na sinusukat ang headress ko na tamarraw. Pero wala in-ignore ko lang, &#x27;di ko in-acknowledge. Pero si Babut was different, like &#x27;umamin ka na,&#x27;&quot; Emma added.</p><p>Babut said he was the first to find out that their younger brother is also gay.</p><p>&quot;Ako talaga &#x27;yung unang nakaramdam kaya nung bandang college na ako -- siya high school noon -- maasim na ako sa kanya. Kasi parang sa akin ang daya ng treatment. Ang ganda ng treatment sa iyo kasi feeling ni padir eh lalaki siya; sa akin istrikto that time. Kaya that time maasim ako sa kanya, kasi parang ayaw pang umamin eh bakla din naman,&quot; Babut explained.</p><p>The two also said that contrary to Vice Ganda&#x27;s image on TV, the comedian was really quiet when he was young.</p><p>&quot;Siguro nung time na &#x27;yon (ang basa) ko sa kanya, kaya tahimik siya para iwas bokaya (hindi mabuking),&quot; Babut said.</p>
