In January 2009, after returning from the United States, Gandanghari came out as a transsexual and changed her name from Rustom Carino Padilla to BB Gandanghari (sometimes spelled Bebe Gandanghari), saying that the Rustom Padilla which the people used to know is already dead.
In an interview, Gandanghari stated the name is derived from the word Bb. (abbreviation of Binibining) Gandanghari, translated in English to Miss Beautiful King, and it's also a reference of her personal motto of "Be all that you can be".[2][3]
Background
Gandanghari entered show business as a matinee idol and later as an action star. She also once hosted a franchised version of Wheel of Fortune on ABC 5. After her hosting stint, Gandanghari left the Philippines and studied filmmaking in the US.
Gandanghai appeared in the film version of the comic book Zsazsa Zaturnnah (her first film role as a gay man) as the gay salon owner Ada (Adrian), alter ego of Zsazsa Zaturnnah, in TV series La Vendetta via GMA 7 and movie Happy Hearts. She was also a cast member of ABS-CBN's Eva Fonda.
In 2009, Gandanghari hosted the National Kidlat Awards in Boracay, Philippines. She appeared again in SRO Cinema Serye: Rowena Joy.

She became one of the 14 housemates in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition. On March 2, 2006, she came out of the closet on the show by telling fellow housemate Keanna Reeves that she was a gay man[5] On day 45 of the competition, Gandanghari opted to voluntarily leave the house.
In January 2009, Gandanghari came out as a transsexual woman.
