This is the second part of an article written by an American, Barth Suretsky, about our culture, and his respect and love of the Philippines. I hope we find some enlightenment from observations made by a foreigner, albeit one who had his heart for Filipinos. Due to space constraints, the second part has been edited. Happy reading.


"Maybe it will sound simplistic, but… it is my unshakable belief that the fundamental thing wrong with this country is a lack of pride in being Filipino.
