"Vợ mượn"/"The Borrowed Wife": Another Pinoy Teleserye on Vietnam TodayTV

I love food and I love Vietnamese cuisine. I am the type who travel far just to get a fix with a craving, like upon hearing that the original Bicol Express originated from there, I went to Legazpi just to get the real taste of the genuine Gulay na Lada then returned to Manila immediately afterwards (I've seen Mayon before, I was only thinking of the original Bicol Express that time).

Vietnam is near. As practically every travel book recommends it, I fear I might suddenly get the craving to try the streetfood one afternoon then return home immediately after I get my fill. So I'm actually learning colloquial Vietnamese now. It might come handy navigating the food stalls in the streets of Saigon (District 1 & 3 of Ho Chi Minh City). It will be my second Asian foreign  language after Malay (I can manage both Bahasa Malaysia & Bahasa Indonesia, which are easy to learn for a Filipino especially if you speak Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilonggo & Ilocano like me: a Malay word might not be found in Tagalog or Cebuano but it could be found in Ilocano, or it could be found in Cebuano but not found in Tagalog & the rest, etc.).

I love watching Vietnamese-dubbed teleseryes. For now obvious reasons.

There are two Pinoy teleseryes now being shown on Vietnam TodayTV. Basahang Ginto (which we featured  before) & this one, The Borrowed Wife.

Didn't they just say it's more fun when there are Pinoys? ASIAN MALES ARE SEXIER IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!

I decided I focus a bit more on our sexy actors & actresses in order  that the people of the world can see for themselves there are really beautiful sexy Asians and they can be found in the Philippines. It's the males' turn today. More than half of my readers are from overseas, 50% in the US alone. The primary "negative criticism" against the traditional Asian males is that they lack sex appeal that's why Fil-Ams don't want to be tagged as Asians because they could become sexual pariahs in the beautiful people circuit. Well, Pinoys should be more assertive, be more visible, and be the face of the Asian tag instead so that the others can be pulled up instead of us being pulled down.
