“Pasalubong”

THE EAR - The Freeman

GIFTS. A government engineer after about a month of academic stay in the US returned home last week bringing with him what his wife described as "a balikbayan box full" of pasalubong.

SURPRISE. The engineer's wife said she and their three children had the surprise of their lives when upon checking the pasalubong they found not a single item marked "Made in USA." All the products in the pasalubong box were made outside of the US - the T-shirts, the fashion watches, the shades, the shoes, etc. “Pulos gikan sa China, Hong Kong, India, Korea," the wife said. "Diha pa gani usa ka made in Bangladesh."
