CLIMACTIC DILEMMA

Perpetually looking for answers

Welcome to Climactic Dilemma, a collection of my random thoughts and realizations for you to explore.

This just signifies how I've experienced the hardest decisions at the peak moments in my life.

Film Review #5: The 10 Years of Bayaniverse (2015–2025)

A decade ago, filmmaker Jerrold Tarog envisioned creating a cinematic universe similar to Marvel and DC, but centered on Filipino national heroes. At a time when audiences eagerly followed their favorite comic book superheroes on the big screen, Tarog and his team at TBA Studios believed that this shared excitement could be replicated beyond the imaginary—by portraying the lives of real people and the events that shaped our history.

Because It’s Your Day, Kuya Ren

It has been eight years since we last exchanged birthday greetings. Nine years since we personally caught up on career, love, and life matters.
 Ten years since you last sent me words of comfort when my heart was torn apart.
 Eleven years since you witnessed my college graduation. Twelve years since you told me you were in a relationship and happily in love.
