By now, you may have already seen or heard the latest marketing stunt in the Philippines by a large fast-food chain, wherein they featured Megastar Sharon Cuneta “reminiscing” the good times with former husband and overall 80s heartthrob Gabby Concepcion.
Yup, they still look great. Also, nakakakilig nga.
The video drew cheers from long time (and even new) fans of this 80s love team, with people commenting how none of today’s so-called love teams can rival that of the longevity and fame Sharon and Gabby had in their hay days.

@McDo_PH hit the jackpot by getting Sharon & Gabby as their latest endorsers. Ang dami nyong pinasaya. #ShaGabLovesMcDo #SharonCuneta #GabbyConcepcion pic.twitter.com/7Vh0vthcXO

It was expected that people would be digging up the real story behind Sharon and Gabby: about why it didn’t work out for the couple, who else became linked to Shawie, and why the Megastar ended up with Kiko Pangilinan. It even created a much-hyped thread on Facebook where people just went all out with speculations and opinions, with the surprising twist that Sharon Cuneta was answering some of the questions herself, posing as April Mondragon.

Of course, being the swamp that the internet is, some ruthless comments about Kiko Pangilinan being a poor choice for Shawie began to emerge:

Lord Jesus Christ. ‘Tis the season of judgment.
However, on February 11, Twitter user Jays (@jaesoon) mic-dropped all the Kiko-Shawie naysayers with a well thought-out argument that, when dissected carefully, actually made so much sense: Kiko Pangilinan IS Sharon Cuneta’s home.
You can all say sayang ang love story ni Mega, but remember: Robin and Gabby cheated on Sharon. Richard took the easy way out.
And Kiko? The one you call boring? He stayed. He was loyal. He never cheated.
Robin was bliss, but Kiko is home. I will choose home every time.

Triggered ang Sharonian self ko ha. Wait lang, @kikopangilinan. I gotchu.

Jays went on to enumerate every single thing that was exceptional about Kiko Pangilinan in a now viral Twitter thread:

And for all her bad decisions because of her youth and foolishness with love, wasn't Kiko the stable rock that accepted her flaws and loved them? Wasn't he the father to KC and treated her as his own? pic.twitter.com/1CDvAAhcmk

His Twitter thread has since generated 36,000 likes and 8,000 retweets. More importantly, it’s making us believe in the idea that there’s a true love for each and every one of us.

The only point that should stop all arguments is this:
Tanggap ni Kiko si KC at tinuring na tunay na anak. Dun palang, fam, panalo na si @kikopangilinan over the others. This isnt about him being Dilawan and all that shit. For a mom, ang pinaka importante natanggap ung anak mo.

Naiyak ako @jaesoon! 😢 Thank you for this. ☺️
Sen. @kikopangilinan has a good heart and he's very intelligent. Admirable si Sen. even during his UP days pa, walang ipinagbago. He has my outmost respect. ❤️#TeamShaKiko— sebby.8 (@sebseb_8) February 12, 2018
So there. Now achieve to be someone’s Kiko in a world full of Robins and Gabbys.
