“Oh! Romeo!” Maybe, you’re thinking of Romeo and Juliet but ah! ah! It’s not what you think. For sure by now you’re curious why Romeo, if it’s not related to the popular novel written by William Shakespeare. Well, it’s because Romeo is one of my favorite cartoons (you know! I’m an “otaku” or anime lover! Yeah!) Have you watched “Mga Munting Pangarap ni Romeo” which was aired in ABS-CBN last summer? If your answer is ‘yes’, well you’re very lucky and thank you for watching! Hehehe! But if ‘no’, oh! Poor jerk! (just kidding!).
The story is about Romeo who is kind, hard-working and loving son. His age is probably thirteen years old. He belongs to a poor family and they only have one small farm of corn. Unfortunately, it was burned during the festival in their town. His father got sick and they have no money to pay a doctor, so he decided to sell himself to Louini, the man who buys boy children to sell in Miland, also for them to work, particularly, to clean chimneys.
