The children take it upon themselves to care for their parents until they pass away as a gesture of appreciation for how the former were taken care of from birth.

“I work hard to blend in. But yeah—most of my childhood and teens were spent in California. That’s where I learned all the very American things, like how to survive on fast food during finals week and over-celebrate every holiday. But the pull of home was always too strong. After I graduated, I just knew I had to come back, reconnect with my roots, really learn where my parents came from.” The conversation drifted easily from there, trading stories about growing up Filipino-American, the weird cultural whiplash of moving between two worlds, all the places they’d traveled alone. Brenda was shocked by how much they had in common: both raised outside the Philippines, both endlessly curious abou

Sometimes, my colleagues tease me, saying I’m like someone with ten kids because of how hard I hustle. At least here in the Philippines, whenever they complain, I can give them something right away. That’s why I sometimes avoid posting photos on my social media accounts of my outings with friends or the meals we have in expensive restaurants. Mama and my relatives here in the Philippines think that if I post something good happening to me, I’m rich.

Naturally, Filipino-Americans (often referred as Fil-Ams) are the exception to this rule. They apparently give no fucks and want to immediately move out of their respective homes. What horror.

sagot niya agad. Hearing those words made Euphie grin viciously. She looked up to the guy and said, “I really don't get it. Why do Filipinos have to apologize for something that we didn't really do?

"It was Dad, when I was still a kid. Now it's not." "Well, what do you like to eat?" "I like Filipino food, like chicken adobo. Why won't the cook make it?" "Mary, we've talked about this before. This household is not Filipino, but American. We must not eat or do anything related to their culture. I've been trying to remove every semblance of them here in the Colony. Do you know about the Sons of Lapu-Lapu? They're a terrorist group who wants to bring back the old ways even through violent means, which I'm trying hard to stamp out."
