‘MAHILIG’ – Two very popular actors appear older than they really are. Nothing to do with wrinkles on faces or even style of dressing. Much more complicated than that.
They have receding hairlines and it’s getting more and more difficult to hide them. Slowly but surely they are getting bald.
Well, there’s hair transplant and BMW (buhok mo wig).
Or why not in time be the local equivalent of Yul Brynner or Telly Savalas or Bruce Willis.
Friends joke, “kayo kasi mahilig,” as if excessive sex drive has something to do with loss of hair.
How “mahilig” they are, better ask ladies romantically linked to them. Or those they had one-night stands with.
