As part of the talented cast of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) LGBTQ-themed entry Broken Hearts Trip, Iyah Mina said he is both thankful and proud of their project.
The film was shot in various scenic destinations in the country like Cebu, Ilocos Norte, Batangas, and Laguna.
“Kaya nakapasok itong pelikulang ito sa MMFF, dahil sa love talaga. Kasi December pa tamang tama, mag-spread ng love to everybody. Sharing itong story na ito para sa lahat, hindi lang sa LGBTQIA+ community, sa lahat. Kasi lahat tayo nasasaktan at naghihilom,” he shared.
In the Lemuel Lorca-directed film, Iyah plays the role of one of five brokenhearted LGBTQ individuals who are given a chance to heal in some of the most beautiful places in the country through a reality travel show hosted by Christian Bables.

“Ako naman dito si Bernie dito sa pelikula, isang konteserang laging first runner up at never naging title holder. Merong jowa na si Argel Saycon, ang aking live-in partner dito at dun na tatakbo ang kuwento,” he explained.

“It was my first live-in partner for four years. Pinaramdam niya sa akin 'yung pagiging babae. Kasi hindi pa ako nag-ta-transition nun pero pinaramdam na niya sa akin 'yung pagiging isang babae. And then habang masaya ang relasyon, ang pinakamasakit is dun sa four years namin, twice lang kami nag-s**. 'Pag nag-ho-hormones ka kasi, wala kang urge, wala kang libog sa katawan so wala akong gaan sa mga ganung bagay," he shared.

He went on: "So nung time na 'yun, nagpapaalam na siya while we’re making love. Tapos paggising ko wala na siya sa tabi ko. Pumunta na siya sa probinsya, tapos nag-asawa. Tapos after one year nag-alarm yung phone ko, meron siyang linagay na note na, ‘In-eksakto ko ‘to para gusto ko sabihin sa'yo na mahal kita pero kailangan ko gawin ito.’ Masakit kasi naka-move on na ako tapos bumalik ulit."

"Tapos 'yun 'yung time na binalikan ko lahat ng mga pinupuntahan namin dati. 'Yan 'yung sasaksay ako ng bus na pumupuntang Bulacan, kung saan kami umuupo sa bus. tapos bababa, tatawid sa kabila, sasakay ulit. Yung ganun, baliw, ganun. Tapos maglalaba. Kasi gawain namin maglalaba, magsasampay. Ginawa ko 'yun. Pagkatuyo laba ulit. Para maka-move on. Matagal na 'yun. Bagets pa ako nun, mga 17, 18,” he continued.
