A musician and former child actor, Seguerra has also supported the Lumads or indigenous peoples in Surigao del Sur. In September 2015, the Lumads have been on the receiving end of reported attacks, killings, arrests, harassment, zoning, and vilification in Lumad areas.

Seguerra, together with partner, Diño, has been a vocal supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte even prior the 2016 elections, campaigning for him both online and offline. Seguerra has also urged other Duterte supporters in the past not to be blind followers and to respect the opinion of others.
“It will help our President kung hindi tayo one-sided at marunong tayong magbigay ng respeto sa opinion ng iba (if we aren’t one-sided and if we respect the opinion of others) instead of fanning the flames of hatred towards people who don’t share the same point of view or opinion,” Seguerra wrote in a previous post.
