LAGARIIN MGA TITE NG MGA LALAKI PLS, PARA MAWALA NA CORRUPTION SA PINAS 😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


joke aside, maganda sha. may mga unnecessary plot and scenes lang na dapat hindi na nilagay.. example sa cheating tsaka yung double show ng rape scenes. although it might be someone’s reality.. pero sobrang nakaka-trigger. grabe iyak ko, sa totoo lang. tang ina talaga ng mga lalaki e ’no!! 

tsaka ang ano lang kasi even her wish was granted.. yung gusto niyang mangyari sa burol niya.. and the way she wanted to be a beauty queen in people’s eyes—pero sa pamilya niya.. it’s still the same. wala lang.. it’s just sad for me na hindi niya nakuha yung actual happy ending kahit we know that she doesn’t even care about them na. mas okay sana for me na they should have make it respectful for her, kahit kaunting awa lang sana ng dad niya. what an asshole. 
masahol na nga experience niya sa pagiging bading, hindi pa nagkaroon ng kaunting character development tatay niya. hindi naman need magpatawad, it’s the respect for me. pero gets ko yung concept, sadyang may mga magulang lang talaga na ganun. 

overall, goods siya.. even their actings are pretty realistic. sobrang galing mo paolo! i love u :3333 #WeNeedAFriendLikeBarbs
