  1. Just so you know , Police officer in Europe , USA and Canada is THE DREAM JOB for them kc it is one of the highest paying job , LESS days of work , PAID vacation/ rest days. And people respect them so much. Went to Toronto and will be migrating to Canada from here in Europe , I am so happy to know that he is in Toronto coz he is my long time crush haha pasaway kaya ako para mapansin hehe

  2. I don’t see anything wrong from Don Laurel’s change of career. Being a police in Canada is a decent, high paying and well respected job. His present job now is much stable than being a celebrity star…kudos to Don Laurel!

  3. I was born in the 90s, but still recognized his face. I prefer watching the old soap operas than today’s generation because they have better script and you’ll learn something from them. Nowadays, you’ll only learn how to flirt and snatched somebody’s partner 🙄.

    • @@mariavictoriasalita2908 The last phrase really hits hard. It’s the main reason why I quit watching television here in the Philippines, there’s no valuable lessons I can learn from it.

    • @@loidee6651 also add that detestable and despicable Pinoy Big Brother. Did you know that the creator of the Big Brother House franchise is also the creator of The Human Centipede sequels?

    • I wasn’t born in the 90s but early 2000s, yet I agree. When it comes to filipino movies, I rather prefer watching old films especially comedies during the times of Dolphy, Babalu, Redfor White, etc. When it comes to modern comedians, some of whom I only prefer are Bayani Agbayani and Michael V etc, I just love the nostalgia feeling.
