The Filipino singer/actor Randy Santiago has revealed the real story of what happened to his eye and why he always wears his sunglasses.
Randy Gerard Legaspi Santiago is a Filipino comedian, actor, singer, director, producer, and a television host. He is the son of the late director Pablo Santiago and the brother of director Rowell Santiago and actor Raymart Santiago.
Santiago started his career by joining the Cicada Band touring club circuits in Manila, Singapore, and Malaysia during early 1980’s. His musical talents brought him to the showbiz industry after he goes solo in 1986.
The 56-year-old actor earned his popularity after releasing his first single and started to act on some movie projects. His signature glasses is one of his trademarks as an artist, but most people noticed that the actor never removed his sunglasses on-screen.
The actor revealed that he always wore his sunglasses to cover his deformed eyes after suffering from an injury he suffered when he was young. Santiago also shared that he suffered from a cyst on the upper part of his eye when he was young and he has undergone a surgery to remove it.
After a year, the cyst appeared again so he needs to undergo a surgery for the second time. Unfortunately, a vital part of his eyes was accidentally cut by the doctor, causing his left eye to be only half-open.
Despite the condition of his eyes, he never experienced bullying in school and he expressed his gratitude towards his classmates and schoolmates for it.
