[Title] => Water is thicker than blood
[Summary] => You know the saying blood is thicker than water", meaning family ties are closer than other relationships. Moreover, it is said water evaporates without leaving a mark while blood leaves a stain. This proverb was first recorded in the 15th century, centuries before the martyrdom of Jose Rizal and the dispersion of his relatives from Calamba in 1896. I can say with some accuracy that Rizals family and their descendants have little in common with him.

[Title] => The return of the native
[Summary] => The headline about Filipinos who wish to leave is but part of the story. There are also Filipinos who want to stay and resolve to stay despite opportunities abroad because duty beckons them. But an even more important part that must not be overlooked is about Filipinos who return. They have come from abroad, some of them having been spectacularly successful in other countries more hospitable to talent than the Philippines but they return to still the terrible aching of the heart for home. This is not to say that the Pulse Asia poll can be ignored.
