No Other Man

Once again, Kapuso Network has decided to break the silence on once was a taboo in the Philippine free TV by way of their latest public offering, My Husband’s Lover.

Replacing Richard Gutierrez’s military flop, My Husband’s Lover will tell the story of Vincent and Lally as their “normal” relationship is tested by Vincent’s sexuality.

Now the question is how Filipinos, straight and gay alike, will react to this radical but real life concept.

Are we now ready for this kind of teleserye?

Are we going to be forgiving this time?

Remember “Out”? The short lived, 1 hour lifestyle show for people like us?

Though it dominated the Mega Manila ratings back in 2004, for some reason, it still went off the air.

I was never a big fan of GMA 7 shows but I absolutely applaud their efforts to promote diversity and understanding for the third sex.

Vincent and the Other Man

I just hope that this telenovela can give justice to the hype that its network created while living up to the Filipino gay community’s expectation.

And If it does,

pray that it shall not suffer it's somewhat predecessor's fate.
