12. The usual I'm-too-poverty-stricken-to-fit-in-your-world scene.
13. The emphasis on how "big" the relationship's issue is as if it were the last thing on Earth. 14. The "break up" or "cool off" part.
15. Trite dialogues.
16. A lover rushes to see the other once more and fix things up and happens in somehow comical ways.
17. The publicized confession of "I still love you" scene (They just can't get enough of that MRT scene of John Lloyd and Bea).
18. People applaud on the scene despite lack of knowledge about what really happened between the couple.
What makes this movie a little entertaining are the usual Star Cinema "kilig" scenes where characters insert cute fun lines. Also, knowing that a pro like Sarah Geronimo is the leading lady gives the movie a little positive vibe because of her good portrayals on the typical pinay youth. There is nothing new in this flick; maybe just the fact that our leading man is a son of the president but not that it made much difference on many rich-and-poor romance. I really think that the Philippine movie industry ought to write something new, something never heard of, and not just another movie with the same scenes only with different actors. We are losing creativity, guys. "Pangako Sa'yo" was so year 2000. There are people like me who get bored by teh same ol' stuff.
