Mo Twisted, the Kiss and Tell.

Mo Twister in a Video

In the Filipino culture, kiss and tell guys are frowned upon. It’s just not acceptable to tell people what you and your girlfriend did in private. For us, it’s between you and your girl and people should never be told about it. It leaves a bad impression to the guy and sometimes people can be unforgiving.

Mo Twister’s video recently exploded in the social networking sites. In the video he was whispering and confessing that his ex-girlfriend Rhian Ramos aborted her pregnancy. Prior to that revelation, he was tweeting that there’s going to be a very big explosion. The problem with the ex-couple started after a bitter breakup. According to Mo, Rhian was forced to do an abortion to protect her career. He blamed the Rhian’s mother and her home network for the abortion.

My intial reaction to the brouhaha was, “Okay, sino ang mga starlet na ito?” I was never a fan of Mo Twisted because I find him too tsismoso for a guy. Neither am I a fan of Rhian Ramos since I don’t normally watch Filipino TV. That includes ABiaS CBN and GMA Network. Besides, according to the grapevine, Rhian Ramos has no talent. She was just casted in GMA shows because she happens to be the niece of Ida Henares, GMA Artist Center’s big honcho. So, a scandal between the couple did not even elicit any curiosity to me until Mo’s video came out.

What was Mo Twisted trying to prove when he exposed that video? Is he trying to be moral and that he was against abortion? If he’s trying to be moral, they shouldn’t have committed pre-marital sex in the first place. If they did not have sex, they wouldn’t have conceived that fetus that Rhian eventually decided to abort. I think Mo’s primary purpose in leaking the video is to embarrass Rhian Ramos, ruin her career and made her pay for breaking his heart. What he did was so typical of a kiss and tell guy.

What happened between Mo Twisted and Rhian Ramos is not shocking or earth shattering. It happens everywhere and every time in our country, considered as the only Christian nation in Asia. The only thing is, when pregnancy is aborted, the couple wouldn’t say a thing. Of course, they’re afraid of the backlash from holier than thou people in their workplace and respective families.

That’s the reason why I am for the RH bill. People should not be afraid to explore sex because it’s part of being human. People should have a well informed choice so that they will not suffer the consequences. If Mo Twisted and Rhian Ramos used contraceptive when they had sex, they wouldn’t have been confronted with the bigger problem, abortion.

To end, what Mo Twisted (because of his twisted head) did was tasteless and he should be sued for libel. Nobody woman deserved that kind of humiliation. He should have accorded Rhian with the respect he gave to his mother.
