(though i was born and raised in the Philippines) and the whole push and pull versus to leave for your family or stay for your country always strike a cord in the deepes of hearstring of Filipinos. as for Emilio Jacinto, i do not judge him. as a nurse myself, i understand the opportunities given by this profession in this country. I applaud him for his earnest and pure intentions. what do you think of the other side of the spectrum? of people who are already in the United States but opted to study Medical School in the Philippines? just a thought. :) great post. i have parents and grandparents as well who emigrated to the United States for greener pastures.

Props to your parents, and to you! Great post. I think any form of nationalism can be both overrated and dangerous (see: current climate in the red states).
