In the tradition of posts about reality artista search dudes doing really stupid things, enter Fred Payawan. Fred who? Panopio? No! Payawan.

According to a PEP article bluntly titled “Fred Payawan admits he is still a virgin”, apparently that Fred person was in DJ Mo Twister’s “Forbidden Questions” and, you guessed it, he admitted that his pee-pee has remained untouched—by another person/woman/man/animal. And before going smart-ass on me and insisting that the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition isn’t a reality search (yeah, that’s where Freddie’s from—just found out now, too), don’t tell me all the kids there joined for the sake of “experience.”

So, yeah, anyway, he’s announced he hasn’t been laid his entire life. But I’m guessing people are more baffled about who the fuck this person is.

I’m one of those Pinoys who have never considered leaving the country for a better life. I would rather stick it out in the Philippines much like a sexless marriage: for richer or poorer, for better or worse, till poverty eats into my body, soul, and shiny brown hair, and I just snap one day and throw myself in front of a speeding bus on Edsa. Not to judge anyone, but sometimes I find myself wondering why would people want to abandon our lovely pothole-strewn, polluted, and corrupt third-world country. I mean, why leave the Philippines?

Then I read this story on GMANews.TV:
Richard Gomez eyeing Senate seat

“On Tuesday, Sen. Jose ‘Jinggoy’ Estrada disclosed that actor-sportsman Richard Gomez is considering to seek a Senate slate under the opposition ticket.”

And I suddenly remembered one of the many reasons why people want to leave this hellhole.
