How transgender barangay captain started over in UK
Rose Eclarinal, November 7th

The first transgender Filipino elected as barangay captain in Tayabas, Quezon has built a new life in the United Kingdom.

Ruvic Rea is the softie beauty queen who became the toughie barangay captain of Barangay Angeles-IV in 2001.

The former kapitana is now dubbed as UK's Pinoy Rock Diva, being looked up and adored by her Pinoy fans.

She also has a very supportive partner.

"I'm just proud of his achievements being the first transgender politician in the Philippines and coming to the UK starting a new life, not knowing anybody, making a success in a foreign country," said Ruvic's partner, David.
