Linking Statement
If there is one thing Filipinos love, it is a good dramatic story. Filipinos can
easily find themselves in one of the characters whom they watch on TV. Filipinos also
relate the situations in the story to certain parts of their lives, such as longing for a lost
parent or child, the death of a relative, or a dramatic love story that is against the world.
