Edwin,

I share your sentiments on your posting. When Bueno won the European Idol, Jasmin Trias in American Idol as finalist, Pinays climbed and made it on top of Everest, Pinoys made it to US political mainstream, and given awards in sciences and arts, I identify myself with them.

I also share the shame when Pinoy priests here in US are put in the most wanted list or Cunanan is in the headlines. I protested when our medical profession was criticized on a TV show.

I hear some of our fellow Pinoys bad mouth the Philippines and the people but I just read the book of Carlos Bulosan to remind me of why some of those people say what they say. Most of what he wrote in his book “America is in the heart” is still relevant today.

For the majority of fellow Pinoys here that I meet and in contact with, they still have strong feeling for the motherland and especially for the people left behind.

In the Philippine center of Somerdale New Jersey Fil-Am kids are taught by people who are like minded like you. We only have happy satisfied old men who have aged gracefully.
