Way before he made dresses for Anne Curtis, Kim Chiu, Kris Aquino and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, Rey already knew that he was gay like his brother Brian. However, when he saw how Brian suffered after opening up about his sexual orientation, he chose to hide his real identity. Growing up, Rey looked up to Brian because of the courage and hard work his brother invested in the fashion line business the latter owned to prove their father wrong, which Rey thought he could not do. Although unexpected, their father eventually accepted Brian's identity, but Rey still continued his pretense and even pursued a career as a flight attendant. Until one day, Brian got involved in a holdup incident that caused his death and would change Rey's life forever. (thetvdb.com)
