An open letter to Korina Sanchez

Just like the rest of the country, I received the news with cynicism. The timing was impeccable and all the events that came after were very, uhm, strategic. The proposal, the motorcycle rides, the pamamanhikan, all seemed calculated and posed. As a PR practitioner, I could not have planned it better myself. I thought the whole thing was a sham and I wanted to barf everytime I saw you two together.

Until I read your love story in the Inquirer.

It was a quick turn-around really. I surprised me. I disappointed me as well. The PR business has taught me not to trust everything I read in the papers and yet I swallowed your story hook, line and sinker. All I heard while reading the article was the voice of a woman so deeply in love and every word you said rang with nothing but sincerity and joy.

I’m on your side. I just want that said, not for your sake because I’m sure you couldn’t care less, but because I want the universe to know which side I am on. That despite reason, rumors, suspicion and logic, I am and will always be on TEAM LOVE!

gross.

Anyway, I think I’ll have shirts made.

Hello Maite Aphrodite and all such Venusians as your beautiful self. I come in peace. Do not be afraid. In the planet from the galaxy where I come, that is, Showbiz-Meets-Politics-Meets-News-Meets-Middles Class-Meets-High Society-Meets Nice-Meets-Nasty all such opinions are as natural as breathing. If there were no such comments then we cease to exist. Most welcome are the comments such as yours which see beyond what is simply naked to the eye, beyond a few lines from an interview. You have no idea how thrilling the complete love story is and, yet to see what is genuine from not. I see you are gifted among the earthlings. And you have a healthy appetite which I can identify with. You see? Even as we are worlds apart, truly, the universal languages never fail, that is, love and food. I think that slogan would make good for your t-shirts. I hope to meet you soon... Nanno, nanno - Love KORINA SANCHEZ
