'Shipping' Real People For Profit

On-screen romance is fun to watch, but what happens when two (attractive) actors are made to milk their chemistry in the public light for all its worth? Bound to the same movies, shows, and even public events… all for companies to exploit their image as an “ideal” romantic couple?

Let’s dive into the wild world of “Love Teams”, a phenomenon unique to the entertainment industry of the Philippines that make Hollywood “ships” look like child’s play. I explore the dark side of this national trend behind its often pure, wholesome façade: particularly the loyal fans that fight to keep these “couples” together forever. ❤️‍🩹
