An excerpt:
"Let's imagine then, not just California, but the entire world, waking up one day to discover Filipinos have disappeared. I'm talking here about the six or seven million Filipinos currently working overseas in countries with names that run the entire alphabet, from Angola to Zimbabwe. Let's not worry first about why or how the Filipinos disappeared; in fact, it becomes academic whether it's a day or a week. Just imagine a world without Filipinos."

Are we proud of this fact?
Isn't it sad?
We make the world a better place to live in.
Yet we neglect our very own country.
Who do we blame for this?
The government?
The politicians?
The citizenry?
Who?

Just wondering ...
