I must say, though, that in observing the deteriorating Philippine educational system these days, I’ve found out that being a teacher and/or librarian does not automatically mean fluency in English. It’s sad, but true. English proficiency these days has gone downhill, and many times it can be traced to the teachers themselves. Not all, of course, but it happens.

As for the film, I loved it. True, it was occasionally overwrought, as it almost always is in any Pinoy drama, but I did appreciate that the gay angle was treated as a “given” rather than the usual, overused manners.

JLC was extremely good in this film, holding his own against Ate Vi, who of course is an acting giant. Dimples Romana was also a surprise. Luis – average.

And what was the purpose of Rafael Rosel other than eye candy (which I really won’t complain about, hehe)?
