We beg to differ.
In recent days, that unsavory aspect of the character of Philippine society has yet again reared its ugly head. As the saying goes, a distracted mind is a happy mind. In no other place in the world does this truism apply better than in the Philippines where, despite monumental wretchedness casting a long-term pall over…
The notion of siring 38 children (“officially acknowledged” or as much at 72 children, including unrecognized ones) with different women is not only irresponsible but downright perverted.

I could be wrong about this but I think Vhong Navarro is the real victim here. I mean, have a close look at Deniece Cornejo and her artificially-engineered face. I mean, her nose, lips and even her chin all look done up. Perhaps the police should pay ol’ Vicki Belo a visit and check out…
