YAY! A few weeks after my totally IG-spammed post about Albie Casiño and how excited I am to see him regularly on TV again (which on my current blog level, has been overtaken by my CD-R King Bluetooth speaker PR), the new ABS-CBN TV Series On the Wings of Love has just arrived last August 10, 2015!
I, Oliver Manlulu, have subscribed as a Free user of iWantTV just to watch Albie as Jigs Magtoto, the egocentric, overemotional junior manager who breaks up with Leah because the girl refuses to give up her American Dream (girl you have all my respect when you did that). I'm all for JaDine, really, partly because in retrospect I did post something about no girl would ever be good enough to be Albie's leading lady (not even Nadine, and she already has James!). I made an executive decision to watch #OTWOL on iWantTV the day after a new episode premieres on TV. (At least I didn't have to sit through the near-pointless remake that is Pangako Sa 'Yo when I wrote this.)
Generally I tend to stay away from Pinoy teleseryes whenever they get too heavy or formulaic (which happens to almost every teleserye unfortunately), with Coco Martin's Ikaw Lamang being the only exception to that rule. Dream Dad and Be Careful with My Heart, two other of my ABS-CBN faves, also had light-mood stories where the only permanent heavy stuff is the passing of an elderly character (Alex's dad and Lola Mamang respectively).
Let's get down to business.
