She likes ’em ‘mature’

Even when she was just a teenager, Little Pragmatist (LP) was already into dating more mature men. Those who know her say this is because LP is the type who’s guided more by practical considerations than by ideals.

Back then, members of the production staff of the teleserye that LP was part of would often go crazy looking for her because she had a habit of simply disappearing from her dressing room or tent.

One fateful taping day, after circling the entire set for hours looking for her, LP was finally spotted in a car that was parked in the farthest and darkest corner of their taping location. The car was owned by a politician who is 15 years LP’s senior. Shortly after this, the two publicly admitted that they were indeed dating—and Mr. Politician was just the first of a string of boyfriends, who are all older than LP by 10 years or more.
