Is “love” enough to survive the romance in a third - world realm? Being happy is simple, but it can’t be for some if the social and economic challenges are on the nose. You may already see this type of genre in other foreign or local movies/series, but if you’re into good acting and script, Third World Romance is a treat to watch. Firstly, Charlie Dizon proves her acting prowess once again in this social realist film helmed by Dwein Ruedas Baltazar . Proceed with caution: Spoilers zone! Alongside his reel/real partner, Carlo Aquino , both play as blue-collar workers; cashier (Charlie) and grocery bagger (Carlo). Charlie’s character is Britney Gatmaitan or simply “Bree” whom she has a tight-knit relationship with, is an outspoken lass, then Carlo is Alvin “Vin” Tolentino, who happens to be the laid-back guy. Fate brings them together where nothing comes in an instant or free and have to work one’s a$$ off to survive. In a post-pandemic setting, the classic meet-cut

Miss Thy Mother  On special days  you  are a weeper, As you miss thy mother . Grief flows like a deep and wide river, Even the lilies around are deep mourners. Remember the days filled with wreaths, thoughts, and kindly folk near? They  said:  she’s now happy as she ascends her way up there, Adding that  no  more pain as her soul’s now free, But for a child, it’s hard to find solace , you see . Yes, you miss thy mother ,  One great soul -- beyond compare. She filled your life with love, wonder, and utmost care, Her prayers were like your guardian that follows as you wander. When days of mourning are here once again, then again and again – just surprisingly returning; You cling to your memories together, Because her love is a comforting den, a halo that shines and never dies – brighter as a flame . 💜
