“My Day The Series” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
This is a classic. When it first arrived on the stage in 2020, it was quite notable. In a sense, it was refreshingly different because it dealt with more adult content. However, it is a roller coaster of a series, honestly. This is one of those series that everyone will profess to dislike but secretly love. It is a guilty pleasure for sure.

“Marahuyo Project” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
This Pinoy BL is everything one can wish for in the genre. It’s witty, inclusive, empowering, shows the power of solidarity and strength in numbers that is fundamental to the queer community, while also highlighting the challenges most societies still face with backwards thinking homophobes and transphobes. While queer representation is quite high, there are rising sentiments of queerphobia throughout the world, even in the West and it is important to continue to highlight and uplift queer voices that are too quickly erased in the world, as was done to Baylan Nalundasan in Marahuyo.

The Dawn of a New Era- With “Sparks Camp” Director Theodore Boborol
Reality television seems to be the recent trend, with countries like South Korea, Japan and Philippines jumping into the foray. While dating shows have been omnipresent for quite sometime; queer representation was almost nonexistent.
