A place to dump my thoughts on Filipino romance books. Language used in reviews is either English or Tagalog. Or both.
For any GENERAL concerns, review requests, and other reactions, you can either leave a comment here or PM the FB page The Orange Mind Reviews.

Thank you. It's an honor. I'm relieved that we have common thoughts regarding these issues. I hope what we (us and you) are trying to say really gets through to the powers-that-be. After reading 14 randomly picked newbie books from PHR, I really think na maluwag na ang quality control nila. Tama ka. Tingin ko hindi naman lalabas ang mga librong `yan nang hilaw kung hindi papayagan ng editors. Malaki rin ang epekto ng blind loyalty ng readers. The newbie writers are too spoiled.
DeleteWake-up call, anyone?
Pakundap-kundap tuloy ang determinasyon kong ipagtanggol ang Tagalog romance kung ang publishing company na kadikit na ng genre na ito ay ganito ang nangyayari. Sila kasi ang "leader", kumbaga. Sana talaga ma-solusyunan.
