Trigger Warning: Mention of suicide, self-harm
JERRY OLEA
Umani ng batikos ang bisexual na si Salome Salome Salve at boyfriend na si Emil Sandoval sa pag-amin nila ng open relationship. Andaming judgmental!
“Oo nga, e! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!” bungisngis ni Salome nang mainterbyu ng PEP Troika noong Nobyembre 13, 2025, Huwebes ng gabi, sa CinePOP office, Quezon City.
“Kasi, ano, e… naiintindihan ko naman din, lalo na with the way families are structured here in our culture.
“Na parang ang understanding natin of what love is, and what a relationship is — kung mahal mo ang tao, siya lang. Siya lang dapat ang nasa paningin mo.
“Pero merong mga taong hindi ganun. The majority of people are monogamous, yes, but not everybody is.
“I just happened to be one of those people that are not monogamous. And even if I weren’t doing p*rn, even if this weren’t my job, or I’m not a sex worker, I feel like this would still be my orientation.
“Kasi, it’s not something that you can suppress within yourself kung ganoong klase ka talaga.
“So, hahanap ka ng relationship and hahanap ka ng mga karelasyon na tanggap kung ano ka.
“Iyon lang naman ang ginawa ko, e. Parang inayon ko yung relationship na hinanap ko doon sa kung ano talaga ako.”

SALOME SALVI'S CAREER AS ADULT CONTENT CREATOR
Siyam na taon nang adult content creator si Salome.
Nagsimula siya bilang alter sa Twitter noong 2017. Pumalaot siya sa fulltime hardcore p*rn*graphy noong 2020.
Anu-ano ang challenges ng isang adult content creator sa isang conservative society gaya ng Pilipinas?
“I think ano po... I think the stigma and how misunderstood and judged we are by people,” pagtatapat ni Salome.
“Kasi, pag sinabi mong sex worker, pag sinabi mo that basically you are selling access to your body for monetary gain, people think that it’s so morally reprehensible.
“But para sa akin, trabaho lang din siya talaga. It’s just like any other kind of job. Hindi lahat, babagay sa ganitong klaseng trabaho.
“Like any other job, may mga challenges. Like any other job, there are highlights, there are points where you feel joy and fulfillment.
“So, I think the stigma and how people misunderstand it is what really makes it challenging.
“Kasi nga, parang the way that people talk to me, the way that people talk about me, the way that people judge my looks, judge my character because of my work — it can be very harsh.
“It can be very hurtful. So, araw-araw nakikita ko iyong mga comments na ganoon. Siyempre, masakit.
“Tao lang din naman ako, nasasaktan din naman ako. So, I think mentally and emotionally… being the receiver of that much hatred and that much vitriol, takes an emotional toll on me.
“That’s a very big challenge that I have to face.”

Sa tinagal-tagal niya sa industriya, naaapektuhan pa rin siya sa mga panlilibak?
“I think, ano, e… parang kasi the more time passes and the more that I work on my platform, the more it grows and the more exposure that I get and the more exposure that you get, the more that you are open to different kinds of opinion,” saad ni Salome Salvi.
“Dumadami yung mga taong nag-send ng ganung klaseng hatred. Dati, paisa-isa lang. Ngayon, libu-libo na sila na araw-araw kong nakikita.
“So the more it grows in scale, the more difficult it is. So, hindi siya ano, e. Parang ayokong sabihin na, ‘Nasanay na ako!’ Kasi, hindi naman totoo, e.
“Ang hirap masanay sa ganung klaseng abuse. Let’s call it abuse. It is abuse.
“Saka ayoko ring i-characterize siya as something na kailangan kong tanggapin. Kasi, hindi katanggap-tanggap yung behavior sa akin ng ibang mga tao.
“The way that they talk to me. Hindi katanggap-tanggap that you talk to anyone like that.
“Whether it’s Salome, whether it’s another adult content creator, whether kaibigan mo or hindi, you’re not supposed to tell them they’re ugly.
“You’re not supposed to tell them they’re worthless. You’re not supposed to tell them that they are horrible people, di ba?
“Hindi iyon katanggap-tanggap sa work place environment. Hindi iyon katanggap-tanggap sa pamilya.
“Bakit katanggap-tanggap siya kapag nakadirekta kay Salome, di ba? It doesn’t make sense!”
SALOME SALVI ADMITS TO SUICIDAL THOUGHTS
Mentally strong ba siya para hindi umabot sa pagsu-suicide dahil sa hateful comments?
“Umabot na rin ako sa point na yun na ang lapit na,” pagsisiwalat ni Salome.
“Namamaalam na ako sa mga kaibigan ko. Because of that.”
Kailan ito?
“Very recent. And it happened many times.”
Paano niya hina-handle iyon?
Napabuntong-hininga si Salome: “Parang inisip ko na lang na… I’m not comparing the way that I handled it to how other people handled it, kasi iba-iba tayo ng capacity to take that kind of treatment, to take that kind of abuse.
“So ako, personally, ang lagi ko na lang binabalik is... nagpapakatotoo lang ako sa sarili ko.
“I’m only expressing myself. I only do what you like for me.
“And if other people are offended by that, that’s their business. Not mine. Also kapag ako, nagpalamon sa kanila, e, di sila ang nanalo. Di ba?
“Lalo natin silang pikunin. You know, like, parang… sorry, yeah. Ganun na lang.”

Na-experience din ba niya ang ganoong abuse or treatment sa kanyang pamilya?
“Yeah. Yeah,” tugon ni Salome Salvi.
“From childhood, like I was subjected to a lot of verbal abuse from my parents, when I was younger.
“So it’s kinda sad that I’m experiencing it in a different form up until now na adult ako.
“So, it’s like having to absorb all of that throughout your life. It’s very challenging. And you know it can push anybody to their breaking point.
“And it has pushed me to my breaking point many, many times.”
SALOME SALVI ADMITS SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PRAYERS
Nagpe-pray ba siya?
“No. Like kasi ano, e, parang it’s not a coping mechanism that I feel like is useful to me,” tugon ni Salome.
“It doesn’t work for me. If it works for other people to have faith in a higher power, that’s amazing for them.
“I’m not like that. So ano, e, parang kahit ano naman yung para sa akin, ito ang perspective ko.
“I’m not putting any perspective down. Pero sa akin, kahit ano naman ang i-pray ko, the challenges are still there.
“The financial struggles are still there. The emotional distress is still there.
“You don’t get to pray it away. So, why would I do something that I feel like doesn’t work for me, you know.
“What works for me is therapy. What works for me is having friends to talk to.
“What works for me is working on my mental health in ways that feel more tangible to me.” Kumusta na ngayon ang mental health niya?
“OK lang. Parang I think, mentally, I’ve been doing a lot better now that I’m being more productive lalo na doon sa adult content site ko,” sagot ni Salome.
“Noong nakabalik ako to my full productivity in that part of my work and my life and my income, doon ako mas naging happy.
“Na parang para dito ako talaga, dito ako masaya. So when I didn’t have the time, when I didn’t have the energy to be able to pursue that in the past couple of years, doon ako sobrang na-depress.
“Doon ako sobrang naging introverted and withdrawn. Pero now that I’m able to do it again at the capacity that I know I can do, it makes me happy.
“It makes me fulfilled. And mentally I’m doing better.”
