And while he doesn't talk about his queerness publicly due to his position, it's not exactly a secret among the nuns in his parish.
Jonas can definitely be heard chanting a familiar chant at protests alongside other queer radicals:
MAKIBEKI! WAG MASHOKOT! 🌈✊🏽🗣️
His favourite director is Lino Brocka, a gay radical antifascist filmmaker and national artist of the Philippines, and his favourite film is Brocka's "Macho Dancer", which is what helped him come to terms with his sexuality.
(which just released a 4k restoration trailer on Youtube LAST WEEK???)
I won't spoil too much for the series, but I can confirm that Jonas is canonically gay. He was gay long before he became a priest, and this fact did in some small way contribute to him becoming a priest in the first place.
It's also one of the reasons he almost didn't become a priest at all.
🏳️🌈🇵🇭Happy Pride (and Happy Philippine Independence Day)! 🏳️🌈🇵🇭
Today we're celebrating one of our canonically queer characters in Dominus, Father Jonas Katigbak, for HIS month and HIS day as a baklang aktibistang pari (Gay activist priest).
