I’m J.A., 21years old. I have read some of your articles in the Allure section of the Philippine STAR. I sent you an e-mail because I know you can help me with my problem about love and shyness. I’m a softspoken person. My problem is I don’t know how to approach the girl that I’d like to court and express my love to her. I’m too shy in everything especially when it comes to courting girls. I wish that you could be able to give me some tips on overcoming my shyness. Thank you!

This time, "hello" meant a virtual "Open, Sesame!" of cheerful greetings for a man, who, with his victory, let a nation bid goodbye to its foibles and squabbles for one glorious Sunday. (And hopefully beyond, but that might be too much wishful thinking!)

Dear Dr. Jao,


I used to like and love Christmas very much. Well, I still do. But lately things just don’t seem to be very much quite the same. I could still vividly recall the time when I was about three years old. I would close all the lights in our living room, open the Christmas lights and play under our Christmas tree and Belen for hours. For some reason, this seemed to be the happiest moment of my life.

                    [Summary] => 

Dear Dr. Jao, 


Why is the subject of mental illness or depression so heavily stigmatized within the Filipino culture? Why is it seen as taboo? Why would a diagnosis or treatment bring great shame upon the family? Why do many Filipinos prefer to suffer in silence and not admit that a problem exists? I am an American married to a Filipina from Dagupan. I was ostracized by her family because I attempted to seek treatment for my wife after she gave birth.

My boyfriend and I are still both in college.  We are now engaged in premarital sex.  I know it is not right, but it happened so fast.  We’ve been doing this since last year. Why don’t I seem to get the same satisfaction as my partner? By the way, he is my first boyfriend.


Sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Jao, 


Why is the subject of mental illness or depression so heavily stigmatized within the Filipino culture? Why is it seen as taboo? Why would a diagnosis or treatment bring great shame upon the family? Why do many Filipinos prefer to suffer in silence and not admit that a problem exists? I am an American married to a Filipina from Dagupan. I was ostracized by her family because I attempted to seek treatment for my wife after she gave birth.

My boyfriend and I are still both in college.  We are now engaged in premarital sex.  I know it is not right, but it happened so fast.  We’ve been doing this since last year. Why don’t I seem to get the same satisfaction as my partner? By the way, he is my first boyfriend.


Sincerely yours,
