Love, lust and liesNothing awakens our Republic of Marites more than the latest scandal or cheating allegations, mostly involving men and their paramours. And yet, and yet, against this backdrop, the country turns red and romantic every Valentine’s Day, just as it did this weekend. Survey saysPerhaps, it’s the reason that the percentage of Filipinos who are happy with their love lives are at an all-time low, based on the latest survey conducted by Social Weather Stations. Furthermore, about 40 percent said their love lives could be happier, up by four points from 36 percent obtained in a similar poll conducted last year. Because of this, I know that there’s no lack of love or romance in our country today.
