Jesus in Yellow
by Patricia Evangelista, Philippine Daily Inquirer
The grass is yellow outside the gates of Hacienda Luisita. Jesus walked here once.
His father watched him die, almost five years to this day. Nov. 16 was when close to 15,000 tenants gathered to protest their treatment under the Cojuanco-owned Hacienda Luisita. Dispersal units charged with a thousand soldiers in full battle gear. The Northern...

Me: Kaya benta yung movie, kasi for once, mas romantic yung guy. Tapos yung girl wala lang, parang sex nga lang yung gusto niya kay Tom eh.
Macy: Buti nalang gwapo si Tom, kung hindi parang ang weak niya na nakakainis. Ang laking help talaga pag gwapo.

Macy: Big thing din yun eh. Kaya siguro siya nagpakasal dun sa isa kasi mas stable.
Me: Buti nalang di na niya vinerbalize sa film. Ang unromantic kung sinabi pa yan. Ok na na ginawa nalang nilang vague yung reason niya for leaving him.
