In the bustling landscape of Filipino culture, where rice prices fluctuate like the latest gossip and polvoron videos spark more debate than government policies, there exists a peculiar phenomenon: the national obsession with celebrity couple splits. 

As if glued to their screens by some invisible force, Filipinos eagerly devour every detail of these star-studded breakups, treating them as a form of communal therapy for their own mundane relationship struggles. It’s a spectacle where 20 pesos per kilo of rice and alleged polvoron scandals pale in comparison to the drama of two famous faces calling it quits.

But wait, there’s more! Just as the masses dissect the intricacies of celebrity heartbreak, pundits dive into the political sphere, analyzing every rift and crack in the nation’s unity. Whether it’s the Uniteam drama or Mindanao threatening to pack its bags, Filipinos can’t seem to resist a good split, be it in love or in politics. 

Perhaps it’s time for the nation to invest in some relationship counseling, both on the red carpet and in the hallowed halls of government.
