My wife is working, I’m working, ‘yong nanay ko naka-lola duties ever since I got married.” Rant ni Kris. Kris has the ‘Bellezo’ look.

Seryoso ba? "Pure Italian ka?" Kaya pala ang gwapo niya, este-I mean, hindi siya mukhang may lahi lang. Dahil pure siya, nagmula siya sa lugar na ito. Both parents we're Italian kaya pure rin siya. Basta ganun na yun. He nodded, "Yes, I am. When we arrived in the Philippines, I didn't just study English and the Filipino language. I also studied Italian, because I knew I would need it."

Hindi dahil sa papuri ni Mathias at sa iba pang sinabi kung hindi dahil sa pagta-Tagalog nito. “Fi—Filipino ka?” tanong ni Zylah. Namamangha dahil walang makikita sa itsura ni Mathias ang pagiging Pinoy. “Partly. My mother is quarter-Filipino, ang mother niya ay purong Spanish at ang father niya ay kalahating Pinoy.

May lahi kasi si Helios, eh. Monastero. Wala namang ganiyang apelyido ang mga Pilipino, hindi ba? Kung ibabase rin sa mukha ng ama niya, hindi siya Pilipino.

Ang Floreza family ang siyang pinakasikat na angkan sa bansa. They owned the popular online game na kinagigiliwan ng mga tao ngayon. Their base was located in Indonesia kahit na Filipino-Japanese ang ancestry nila.

Dahil naisip niyang masyado namang unfair sa iba kung umpisa pa lang ng paligsahan ay ungos na ungos na ang laban niya. Hindi siya conceited. Hindi rin siya nagmamayabang. Sadya lang may mga mata siya at marunong siyang manalamin kaya hindi ikinakaila ang katotohanang mismong ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya ang nagsasabi.

"Royalty?" "Apparently noong nakaraan lang rin nalaman ni Catalina na mayroon silang dugong bughaw mula sa Espanya," it was Zero. "Her mother's last will was written in Latin language because tito Samuel asked for it and they settled here in the Philippines. 'Yon ang pinagkaabalahan ng magkakapatid nitong mga nakaraang araw."

You didn’t have to worry about that.” “No, I’m not.” She chuckled. “How about you? Where are you from?” “I’m from Cebu. Mr. Fuentabella hired me because Surigaonon language is somehow a little similar to my vernacular language,” he replied. “I’m glad to see you’re adapting to the Philippines.” “Oh, no.
