Early in his career, he was often cast in gay roles. At first it felt like typecasting; eventually it became self-discovery.

"Never naging confused, but I explored," Mikoy recalls. "There was a time na I thought I was bi."

Those roles arrived while he was figuring himself out. "I was exploring my life outside the roles, and also on how to make the roles better. So parang better understanding, 'yung ganon."
