Atty. Midas Marquez laughs off gay rumors

Atty. Midas Marquez’s candid moment has become a viral video.

ABS-CBNNews.com reports that Supreme Court spokesperson Atty. Midas Marquez is just laughing over a viral video clip of him supposedly shrieking after a microphone fell during a press briefing last week. Marquez’s quirky reaction prompted some netizens to speculate about his sexuality.

When asked for his reaction to the rumors, Marquez, who is married and has two kids, said: "[It’s] wishful thinking for those who are rooting for it."

ABS-CBNNews.com revealed that in succeeding press conferences, Marquez gamely poked fun at himself. In one briefing, he asked reporters if they had more questions. Then he quipped, "Bago mahulog ’yung mic (Before the microphone falls)."

In another press conference, Marquez wondered aloud about "having all the microphones tied to the podium so they would not fall off."
