Today's Exactly100: KathNiel Pa Rin

Another month, another celebrity couple break up. But you’ve got to admit, the news of Jericho Rosales and Kim Jones parting ways didn’t generate the same seismic shock as the break up of Katherine Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. There are celebrity breakups. And then there’s KathNiel.

More than creations of television amplified by social media, these two grew up before our eyes. We allowed them into our living rooms, bedrooms and laptops every night. They reminded us of the innocence of young romance. And for decades they gave us superficial relief from the discomfort of poverty, hunger, government failures, politics. /Joey Salgado
