TEASER:
SYNOPSIS:
Vincent got his girlfriend Lally pregnant while they were still in college. So they decided to get married even if the two of them were not ready for the responsibility and Vincent's mother Elaine was very much against it.
Thus Lally's married life was never smooth-sailing because of Elaine. But for the love for her husband, Lally endures the hardships in dealing with her mother-in-law. However, when Lally got pregnant on their second child, Vincent suddenly became distant and cold towards her.
Lally felt that Vincent was being unfair to her so she decided to leave together with their children. Vincent loves his kids so much, so he tried to win back his wife by proposing and this time getting married again with a blessing from the church.
Unknown to Lally, Vincent is keeping a secret from her; it is also a secret he has kept from everyone else ever since he was young. Vincent was a closeted homosexual man who never planned to come out because he was afraid that it'll destroy his family.
However, everything changed when he crosses paths with Eric again - his greatest love. Unlike Vincent, Eric is openly gay. But, just like Vincent, he still is in love with him.
Eventually, the two men start an affair and Vincent tries to hide the affair from Lally by showering her with gifts and attention. However, Lally's intuition tells her that something is wrong even though everything in her married life seems fine. That's when she starts to investigate and she eventually learns of Vincent's darkest secret.
FACT:

REALITY:

Why is this so?
Why can’t we accept that homosexuals are Normal?
There was a recent news report that ranked the Philippines as one of the most gay-friendly countries in
Cell Phones are the most common gadget every individual all over the world has.
Top 1:
HTC ONE
The HTC One's combination of innovation and sumptuous hardware is a testament to the brand, and shows that new things can still come to our smartphones without costing the earth. Sure, it's not the cheapest handset by any means, but it's perfectly in line with what we'd expect from a flagship.
Top 2:
SAMSUNG GALAXY S4
The Galaxy S4 shell isn't made of metal meaning it doesn't feel as premium, but what you're giving up in feel you're getting back in weight, removable battery and general hardiness - the combination of Gorilla Glass 3 and a plastic shell means this is one tough cookie.
It's slick, it's fast and it wipes the floor with the competition in so many ways. The 13MP camera is one of the best we've seen on a phone for getting that picture, with rich colors and texture the way forward.
Top 3:
iPhone 5
If you're an iPhone lover and won't ever leave, yes, without question. It's got a larger screen, a superb new design and generally all the moves required to make it into a worthy evolution.
Top 4:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Samsung has taken a product many people - including us - expected to sink. It's built on that and given us something even better.
Faster, stronger, better looking and more functional. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is better connected than ever, and thanks to that increased screen size, now takes the crown in our eyes as the perfect media player.
Top 5:
Nokia Lumia 920
The Nokia Lumia 920 is a big, brutish smartphone, but under that weighty exterior is a decent phone that just wants to do things the simple way.
The Windows Phone 8 is an intriguing proposition offering up something very different to the iOS and Android systems we've become accustomed too, and the Lumia 920 is currently the most powerful handset running it.
Top 6:
Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD
The Razr Maxx HD doesn't have the grunt of the other powerhouses out there (like the Galaxy S3), and doesn't offer the same chipset smooth integration that you get with the iPhone or Windows Phone devices that mitigates the need for the superior number of cores.
Top 7:
NEXUS 4
together to bring to market a fantastic offering. The fact of the matter is that this is a handset with world-class specs - yet it's at a price you'd expect to get a budget phone for. Sure, there are a few things that could have been done better, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives.
Running Jelly Bean 4.2 as Google intended.
Top 8:
HTC DROID DNA
The Droid DNA is a very good smartphone, thanks to beefy hardware and Android 4.1: Jelly Bean
A quad-core smartphone is nothing new, but 2GB of RAM is. These specs show from the minute you boot up the DNA and start flying across its panels. Standard apps open in the blink of an eye, and the load times on games are a breeze.
Top 9:
HTC First
The HTC First, the so-called Facebook phone, isn't really the ultimate device for sharing on the world's premier social network. Instead, it's a not at all bad mid-range device, blessed with a stock version of Android 4.1: Jelly Bean
Top 10:
SAMSUNG S3
Formerly in first place on this list, the Samsung Galaxy S3 still holds a position among the top ten showing it's still something quite special.
