BROMANCE BONDING

Mackie and Chipper are BFFs. One of their talks went like this:
“Kung sarili ko ngang problema hindi ko na kayang dalhin eh. Ine-expect niya pa, na ako sumalo sa mga kargada niya.”
“That’s the least you can expect from a friend.”
“Dami ko ng kaibigan ah.”

If Pare Ko happened today, Mackie and Chipper’s soulful chats would take place in the private confines of DM. But back then, the best conversations happened as actual face-to-face conversations, either by the garage with beer bottles in hand or over a game of bente uno in an empty basketball court.

STOKWA ATTEMPT

If there’s a recurring theme in Pare Ko, it’s this: poor parenting leads to teenagers with poor decision-making skills. Enter Nadine–a sheltered, prim and proper girl whose idea of a good time is an intense game of Scrabble. Her rich, overprotective parents often quarrel about things that rich, overprotective parents usually quarrel about.

“Kung gusto niyo maghiwalay eh di maghiwalay kayo, I don’t care!” she told her mom in that familiar teenage angst tone. She “ran away” from home and unintentionally caused friction between the boys who come to her rescue.

OH SHUT UP!

Francis was the crassest person in the group, but he also had the deepest hugot lines directed to his separated parents. He got scolded in front of his friends and his mom’s friends after crashing his car, but Francis wasn’t having any of it (“Magpasikat kayo sa mga kaibigan niyo, pati na din sa mga kaibigan ko. Ang galing niyo ng ina, okay?”).

He also had this heart-to-heart with his mom:
“We didn’t send you to the best schools para maging bastos.”
“Kung ano ako ngayon ay dahil sa inyo ni daddy, kaya pwede ba huwag na tayo mag-bolahan pa?”

AWAY MAGKAPATID

Chipper violated the bro code when he swooped in to give his shoulder to cry on for Nadine, getting the much deserved “Hindi ko kailangan ng yaya!” from Mackie. He had to lie low for a while and it took some time before he realized that no girl should ever come between best buds.

Of course, they had to get into a fistfight before arriving at that realization (“Saan ka natutong sumuntok ng ganun? Akala ko nagche-chess lang kayo ng lolo mo.”) but then again, teenagers make stupid decisions. Oh, and friendship over everything.
