OMG. Overheard this just now and checked Google if it is true. It is.

I don't know I feel a little sad because his opinion column is the only one I read in the Star. I may not agree with most of his opinions but I kinda liked how he wrote.

Karla once shared this piece of juicy rumor to me: OB Montessori students are required to buy the Philippine Star. Husband and wife helping each other get richer. Lolx. XD
