Let the Stars Fall

Cameron Eros Antiaga. That's me.

I'm 19, a law student, and the only grandchild of my political grandfather.

I was born and raised in New York, my life was pretty much normal, except for the fact that my family is part of the Philippines "political dynasty" and that I was secluded and found to be embarrassed by society because of my parents.

I didn't want to be born anyway, it's not like God asked me "Hey, kid. Wanna be born to messed up parents and chaotic family members that might as well want you dead?" Yeah, that didn't happen.

After living in the states for years, my grandfather made me come home to learn the "family business". Wow, ang saya ko! Masaya kung ang hobby mo mang blackmail ng tao para sundin ang gusto mo.

Well, anyway, I did come back and I regretted it with my heart and soul. Hindi family reunion ang tumanggap sakin sa Pilipinas at hindi social acceptance.

I've uncovered more than I should. Let's hope my own grandfather doesn't hang me for it.
