My Monster Mom

Here's one of the funniest films to ever be part of Filipino cinema.  So here I find these stuff funny to start with: Rhian Ramos Howell aging INTO Annabelle Rama (both play Esmeralda Fajardo)... there is hardly a resemblance between them appearance-wise.  But it did make sense Richard Guiterrez aged into his dad Eddie Guitterez (the beguiling Waldo).  If Rhian Ramos Howell were to age, Pilita Corales or Gloria Romero would have been a much better choice to play the older her than Annabelle Rama then again this is supposed to be FUNNY!!!! Esmeralda Fajardo's mean streak is too much that it kills two husbands in two different married lives.... the two different fathers of her two later sons (who she always treats like idiots so I guess those two husbands may have been treated like that too).  Seriously can anybody be that mean?  Hmmm think about being twice widowed because both late husbands died from severe NAGGING!!!! Or maybe, one has to consider how the yo...

Rhian Ramos Howell in "My Kontrabida Girl"

Here's a little bit of Rhian Ramos Howell's return as "My Kontrabida Girl".  Okay I accept her acting is kinda so-so but looks like she's improved a bit.  I wonder what move will Mo Twisted make again?  Oh boy I wish Mo Twisted will face divine wrath ASAP. :P

Apparently This is Rhian Howell's Answer to the Question to Mo Twisted's Accusation

"I was very shocked and very hurt. I could not believe what I was seeing. I could not believe that he would say all those things about me and make a video saying things like that about me ," were the words of Rhian Denise Ramos Howell said.  I cannot judge the veracity of this statement but it seems to be real even if I am not much of a fan of Filipino show business.  Some things are not answered directly.  In fact it's much implying that DJ Mo Twisted is as Rhian Howell is saying via Twitter that he is  Twisting  the truth with his eloquence (notice how I emphasized the word).  To be honest, I have tried listening to Mo Twisted's other side of the story and man I have to admit, it was really painful to watch- more painful than sitting through a poorly written script  As said, she's learned her lesson.    Sadly many will still walk in the path of Mo Twisted's movement.  To be honest, if I were accused of what I did not do, I definitely ...

Is the Mano Po Series Unrealistic? I Don't Think So!

Some people, probably not Chinese think that the situations in Mano Po are being unrealistic but the truth is far from fiction. Whether it was the trilogy (1-3), the dual comedy (5-6) and back to serious again (6) where each film was not connected to the other but operated within their own continuity, there is much truth in those films if one has lived with traditional Chinese parents. And how true indeed. Here are the following truths derived from each and every entry: Mano Po 1- My Family There's a high tendency to discriminate a Filipino to the point to call him/her a criminal when they aren't A true Filipino doesn't have to be Pinoy by blood to be a true Filipino In the older Chinese family setting, it's all about extreme obedience Mano Po 2- My Home Overextended Chinese families are usually a burden A Chinese mistress can be worse than a Filipino one Being too traditional damages people like how Antonio Chan should have just turned down his mother's command ...
