This paper examines the portrayal of romantic relationships in the digital comic series Filipina Diary , focusing on the character Menchie. It analyzes how Menchie’s storylines reflect broader Filipino cultural values such pakikisama (companionship), utang na loob (debt of gratitude), and hiya (shame), while also incorporating global romance tropes like love triangles and slow-burn tension. The study finds that Menchie’s relationships are structured around economic and emotional survival, making her romantic arcs distinct from Western romance comics.
