I was raised on soap operas. // Telenovelas, to be exact.// The Mexican ones. // Or at least those that headline Mexican stars. // Who speak Spanish. // But when aired here are dubbed in Filipino. // Same buh-naner.
I'm referring to the Thalia telenovelas that paralyzed local airwaves when they were shown, so to speak.
