TAKE it from Tim Allen, a man himself: "Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive."
And when a man cheats, he also lies.
Well, since the "ghosting" issue involving Gerald Anderson and Bea Alonzo surfaced in July 2019, the actor kept mum the whole time and denied the allegations of him having a new found affair with Julia Barretto. Almost two years later, now that he has a new teleserye, he is beaming with happiness and his admission of the controversial romance.
Well done, Gerald. One thing's for sure though. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
To Julia, here's my piece written to you taken from my July 30, 2019 column:
"For that other woman, God bless your soul. You know that you've wrecked a heart or even a home for that matter. Remember that if a guy cheated with you, the possibility is that he's going to do the same on you. Do not trust a guy like that someone who broke Bea's heart. As they say, "Once a cheater, always a cheater."
Women should always keep themselves prim and proper, having high standards of moral principles and fair living. They should not meddle with other people's affairs, lest even steal the man of another woman. There's no amount of etiquette that can make these women more upscale than the ordinary "other woman" or third party. If a guy is taken or married, then shut the door. Do not even go there. Even if the guy is hot or rocks a body like Thor!
Karma pays well, these women should know. For the young Julia, I wish her the best of life and pray that this cheating guy will finally have the balls to stay in love with her forever. If I were her, I'd buy him a pair of eye masks to wear so he could no longer see other women, hahaha. That level of insecurity will never be a good ground for a happy, stable, and contented relationship. So I say good luck on you both for working out newfound happiness in each other's arms."
Let's wait and see until the next leading lady and you will belong to the list of women whom this man lured and left believing that she is the only one for him. Can I bet around next year?
To Bea, we know how you represent the many scorned women who were left and dropped like hot potatoes by these womanizing male creatures who have the guts to say that they are capable of loving, we got your back. This is the time to show how we women can rally behind other women who have experienced such a wreck in life. You are vindicated and you are the truth teller.

In celebration of the International Women's Day on March 8, I would like to share these inspiring bits once again:
How can a woman empower herself? There are three simple ways on how to achieve this: women should have a healthy mind, healthy body, and a healthy spirit.
Having a healthy mind means having positive thoughts all the time. It may seem quite challenging for women to develop this habit as we women are known to be cynical and assuming at most times. It is proven that our mind is like a magnet. Our thoughts attract emotions and possibilities.
If our mind is full of negative thoughts, then it will attract negative behaviors and events. However, if we have positive thoughts in our mind, then it will attract positive emotions and happenings. Women should also stop overthinking and know how to handle situations with a calm mind and disposition.
The next key to women empowerment is having a healthy body. Although it is not ideal to say that having sexy body is an aspect to being an empowered woman, having a fit and strong physique boosts a woman's confidence and personality. We can always aim to look good for our husbands or partners, but we have to remember that we have to look and feel good for ourselves and not for anyone else. We have to put in mind that no one and nothing can define our sense of being, thus we don't need to rely on others for validation and assurance.
Having a healthy spirit means that a woman must have a strong relationship with God. With the many challenges that women face in their lives, having a strong faith in Him is an important aspect on how to successfully deal with all problems. For married women, putting God at the center of your relationship with your husband is a powerful tool on how to ensure a strong, happy, and peaceful marriage.
Women are indeed pacemakers, and the fastest way to change society is to mobilize the women of the world.
