long-suffering nation/the magic of song
an interesting opinion piece from the philippine star. in the past, i've tried to describe the dichotomy of being a filipino. teodoro c. benigno writes "Why can other countries, other nationals escape poverty and we can’t? Why can they be creators and builders, and we just can’t? Why are we Filipinos now like the ancient Jews, a diaspora scattered all over the world?". there is definitely a ring of truth there.
