You could say that it is his own money anyway and he could do whatever he wants with it including buy a pair of limited edition Back to the Future Marty McFly Nike sneakers. They say the shoes, which are ugly in my opinion, would set you back almost one million pesos. That’s how much…

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very rare day when I find myself concurring with members of our local media, many of whom I openly disdain.

While I did mention something about Pinoy romantic-comedy shows (or “rom-coms” for short), I failed to elaborate deeper into the erroneous or sometimes detrimental influences of our local rom-coms.

After browsing a lot of old articles in GRP, I stumbled upon one of Ms. Natividad’s earlier articles about the so-called bitterness of failed relationships.
