Well, this is interesting. From site: Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines Following Japan's slight lift of visa restrictions last June , now Taiwan has decided to be more lenient with Filipinos entering their territory. The condition that you have never worked in the country means they're ensuring you're not there to become an OFW (or eventual TNT). And the one for having a valid first world country visa means that if those stricter, go-through-your-application-with-a-fine-tooth-comb embassies can let you in, then maybe you're good enough to temporarily visit them as well.

I'm not new to liking movies that are usually deemed critically-unappealing. After all, what matters to me is I enjoyed myself, cheesy plotlines, flat dialogue, bad acting and all, so I rarely ever listen to "critics" (which, by the way, in this age of the internet, almost everyone is.)

The first movie was funny and I loved the original cast, and I think it's quirky, even if parts of this second one seemed so contrived and forced -- Catherine Zeta, I'm looking at you. You, too, StormShadow. WTH are you doing in this movie?! The action could survive without all the mart...
