– **Will this return help BB and the Padilla family heal the rifts of the past?**
– **How ​​will Robin Padilla and the other siblings receive BB?**
– **Will BB be allowed to see his mother, or are things still tense?**

Currently, **Robin Padilla has not made any comments about BB’s return**. Meanwhile, BB Gandanghari has shared some **emotional feelings** about his family on social media, but has not directly mentioned his mother’s current condition.

This event will definitely be the center of attention in the coming days. Will BB Gandanghari really be accepted by his family after all the storms he has gone through? Let’s wait and see what happens next!

After 7 years, BB Gandanghari reunites with mother in PH
BB Gandanghari confirmed that she is back in the Philippines after staying abroad for many years.

The transgender model and actress teased about her homecoming in an Instagram post earlier this week, posting a clip of herself at an airport, with the caption, “Home is where your heart is…”

“#SeeYouSoon: long time coming,” she then wrote in her post.

On Tuesday, December 6, BB confirmed that she has returned to Manila where she happily reunited with her mother, Eva Cariño, after seven years.

“#JustLanded: Happiest to see my dearest mom in 7 years… Yes, it was that long ago. How time flies,” she said.

BB officially became an American citizen last April after a decade of residing in the United States. She left the country to pursue her dreams of joining Hollywood, but is currently working there as a bookkeeper and an accountant.

BB, then Rustom Padilla, revealed to the public that she is transgender in 2009. She requested to have a Los Angeles court legally recognize her gender as female and have her name changed to Binibini Gandanghari in August of 2016. Her request was granted on November of the same year.

In 2019, the actress made her television debut in the US through the Netflix series Glow, where she played fortune teller Patricia in the eighth episode of the show’s third season.
