Ferrer gets strapped in Showbiz Central's "Don't Lie to Me" segment to
test her nerves and answer with calmness and strategic precision some
revealing and controversial issues concerning her and her tribemates.]
Survivor Philippines bring out the real deal in people and revelations
on its contestants are nothing short of shocking. The second season of
the reality show being shown on GMA-7 though proved that surprise
factor is just as fresh and shocking as ever.
Just check out Justine Ferrer, for example. The beauty
queen/businesswoman can pass as a simple head turner. But the truth,
as already revealed, can be shocking. As it turned out, Justine was
once a man who decided to undergo a sex-change operation to become the
woman she is now.
Revealing to the world that you're a transsexual really doesn't change
much as Justine proved that it takes wit and muscle to make it to the
Final 4 of Survivor Philippines: Palau She is a mix of beauty, brains,
and a whole lot of brawn.
This time around, the Caloocan-based Justine was given the challenge
to sit through Showbiz Central's lie detector machine to test if she
indeed can tell the truth and survive under pressure.
The first question SC host John "Sweet" Lapus had for her was this:
"Bilang transsexual na beauty queen, maraming nagtataka na ang lahat
ba ng parte ng katawan mo ay pangbabae na?"
Barely half a second after John read the question, Justine immediately
answered "Yes." Her lie detector readings showed how calm and composed
she is and it gave her a positive feedback. When asked to explain, she
said that some of the operations were made here in the Philippines and
in Japan, where she worked as an entertainer.
"Na-late na nga 'yong pagpapagawa ko," Justine smiled. "Para sa akin,
ang pagiging transsexual is congenital."
The next proved quite difficult as the topic moved to Justine's fellow
castaways. Was there ever a time that she lied about her sexuality?
This time around, Justine thought for a moment before giving a
laughing "No!" But the machine found her to be lying.
Knowing that she had to explain, Justine gamely offered a
clarification. She said, "Minsan sa mga chat-chat. Hehe."
There is a rumor saying that fellow castaway Suzuki Sadatsugu wooed
her while they were in Palau. Justine confirmed this with a smile.
"Pero naputol na. Nagulantang ang mundo niya noong hindi pala [ako
girl]!" she said.
The next question was about her fellow castaway Mika Batchelor. John
asked, "Marami ang nagulat at natanggalan ng peace of mind noong si
Mika ang ma-out to think na solid ang samahan ni Jef [Gaitan], Mika,
at si Amanda [Colley Van Cooll]. Pero si Mika pa rin ang natanggal.
Brinain wash mo ba ang ibang babae na kasama mo sa isla ang i-vote at
hindi ikaw?"
"No!" Justine replied.
Again, Justine's answer resulted in a lie and her surprised look was
drowned by cheers from the audience.
After her initial surprise she explained, "Nakakaloka, ha! Hindi ko
naman brineynwash. Kaya mas pumanig sa akin si Charles at Jef dahil
hindi ako nagbigay ng pressure sa kanila... Parang sinasabi ko ang sa
akin at sinasabi ko din ang side nila. I never told them na pumanig sa
akin. You have freedom, so mas pinili nila alliance namin kasi walang
amo. Lahat kami free!"
