I was often thinking about the Philippines, missing our relatives, the beautiful landscape and its affectionate inhabitants. Unlike other holiday destinations in southeast asia the Philippines was much more an affair of the heart to me. It is an emotion that dwells deep in my heart. Its sounds, odours and colours a constant companion whenever I was willing to apprehend them.
It was not until I turned 16 that I really started to appreciate my second origin while visiting the Philippines for the 3rd time. My 4th time was at age 24 and now, at age 33 I was returning home, with much curiosity, interest and love, starting in the visayas.
