Romeo Candido is very inspiring. I just hope those true blue pinoys who love dissing out the idea of being pinoy can read this and it's gonna be a slap to their faces that there's this North American man who is ready to give his best to big up Filipinoness. Kudos to you Romeo Candido...a prolific and an amazing artist, indeed! I just love reading this interview over and over again..very interesting! Romeo Candido is very inspiring.
