haha, na lingaw ko ani.
You know, whenever I'm home back in New Jersey, I always happen to go with my mom to the local Filipino store, and actually we have Filipino stores all over the place.
When I go to a Filipino store, immediately I will see a huge TV with TFC playing or GMA. The show that always attracts the attention of Fil-Ams and Fil-Am youth is "Wowowee" lol!
And definitely, there is always a box in the store "BALIKBAYAN BOX". etc. I think almost every single Fil-AM family sends a box home back to the Philippines once a month.
Imagine, how many boxes are sent back home? Just from the USA alone?
Tinuud jud, you can take the Filipino away from his country, but you can never take the Filipino from the Man.
