Imagine this: you’re on an online forum and strike up a friendship with someone new. As you get to know him, he seems like the perfect guy—charming, smart, and undeniably cute. But just as things start to heat up, you uncover a shocking truth: your seemingly perfect online connection is a catfish, someone pretending to be someone else to deceive others.
This modern dilemma is at the heart of How to Spot a Red Flag, a Viu Original series starring Belle Mariano, Donny Pangilinan, and Jameson Blake. The show dives into the complexities of online relationships, unmasking the challenges and heartbreaks that many digital natives face today.
The story follows Cha Fontanilla (Belle Mariano) as she navigates the fallout of a catfishing experience.
