Race In The Philippines Novels & Stories

"They have asked me that question multiple times. I mostly answered it with silence. I really avoid talking about it because it's funny how those races were enemies noon at ngayon. To answer your question, my father is mixed race as well. He's American-Spanish-Filipino. While my mom is Russian-Filipino." "Oh wow! Talagang magkakalaban ang mga lahi na 'yan sa itsura mo. As you can see everyone, he's undeniably handsome. No wonder sobrang gwapo ng future pulis natin!" puri nito kay Fiyero na simpleng napangisi lang.

Akala niya mga sindikato, at gesture lang ang salute, gaya-gaya kung baga. "And they are your soldiers?" tanong ng ina ni Knox, tinutukoy ang mga nakikita niya. "Not all soldiers, Mom. Some of them, doctors, pearl technicians, oceanographer, I also have, Lawyers, CEO'S, Professors but these people are assigned to different countries where I have businesses." "You're creating your own nation," puna ng ina. "I am still governed by the Philippines, following the rules, with strong influences and a commitment to fair play. That's why this place is licensed. With my method, the Philippines will have a strong connection with many nations."

Nakipag kamay kaming dalawa ni Jam biniro pa nga namin ang mga ito na para silang mga intsik. "Yes because we're chinese and japanese," sagot naman ni mr. Enrique raw ang pangalan. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na ang mga mayayaman sa bansa namin ay ang mga may ibang lahi gaya nila Steve at William hindi naman purong mga filipino rin ang mga ito. Kita mo naman very genius sila, ang IQ grabe taas...hindi gaya sa amin na halos pigain ko na ang aking utak pero wala pa rin.

"Here are the details about their companies, along with some sample works. One is from Korea and the other is from Philippines." Halos matigilan naman ako at naramdaman ko ang pagkalabog ng puso ko nang marinig ang huling sinabi niya. Pakiramdam ko ay para akong naubusan ng hininga at natuyuan ng laway sa lalamunan. Philippines. Possible kaya na company ni Leandro ang isang ito? "A-Are you sure they're already here?" tanong ko. "Yes, Miss. They're just waiting for our calls."

Feeling ko naimbak ang mga dugo ko sa pwetan at likuran ko, ikaw ba naman ang nakaupo ng 14 hours tignan lang natin kung hindi ka mangalay. "Finally, we are home," rinig kong komento ni Cassandra pero di na ako nagbigay ng komento dahil para sa akin Philippines is my home and no one can replace the ambiance that Philippines gives to me. Dito man ako pinanganak but I was raised in Philippines. Kami ang panghuling bababa sa eroplano at mula dito ay natatanaw ko ang isang limousine na nakahilera at dalawang convoy. Sa palagay ko, ito ang aming sasakyan papunta sa mansion ng mga Lanuer.

Close silang dalawa. Kung sa looks naman titingnan lahat sila ay may kanya-kanyang unique feature na maipagmamayabang talaga. Hindi kasi pure Filipino ang mga Guieco, may halo silang ibang lahi, kahit na ang mga ina nila ay meron din. Sina Ash ang alam ko ay may korean blood sila. Hindi ko lang alam kung ilang percent iyon, sina Kenya at Kendra kasi sa isang tinginan palang ay masasabi mo ng may ibang lahi sila.

And he was right, there are some idiots who are looking at my legs. Ngumiti ako at bumaling kay kuya. "Don't worry. I know you can fight." Mas lalo akong napangiti nang umirap siya. "Yeah, whatever." -- I can't help but to be amazed on the view. This is our last stop for island hopping, but still the view would always took my breath away. Philippines is a paradise, indeed. Well, except from politics. "Be careful," sambit ni kuya habang inaalalayan ako pababa ng bangka.

Napailing na lang ako at tinanggal iyon sa isip ko. Mabilis ang naging byahe. Hindi ko alam kung talagang mabilis ba o dahil lang subrang daming pumapasok ngayon sa isip ko kaya hindi ko namalayan. "This is my first time going here in the Philippines," nakangiting sambit ni Kirra, habang hila-hila ang maleta nito. "There's nothing special here, Kirra." "There is, Architect. Just like other people say, it's more fun here in the Philippines."
