In fact, our house is cluttered with back issues of Life, Time, Newsweek, The Saturday Review of Literature, The New Yorker, Dialogue, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s Magazine, Seventeen, etc. You might say that colonial mentality here takes on a very literate form.

Most times, it is fleeting but sometimes, especially when reinforced by other components of memory, I would even visualize Lola Ina, faithfully making rice cakes in her clay oven by her porch, only her side view visible to me and even rendered more mysterious by the partial cover of the bougainvillea vine growing from my uncle’s lot.

From my childhood, the first images of the desert have been from cartoons, then from those Biblical stories shown during Holy Week, then in those cowboy Westerns. One of the more romantic ones were from the motion picture Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O’Toole’s deep blue eyes penetrating the white desert and the book by Paulo Coehlo, The Alchemist, and more recently, that indescribable scene in The English Patient.

[Summary] => When we look back – as we often do – post-World War II history tells us Filipinos enjoyed moments of euphoria that all was well and would become much better. It was thus when "liberation" came in 1944-45 and Gen. Douglas MacArthur swept into the arms of the country like a demigod. The second wave of euphoria came in 1986 when "People Power" smashed the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos and sent him fleeing pell-mell to Honolulu.

I thought James Fallows then was guilty of rank hyperbole, a know-it-all Yankee, jeering and arrogant, who deserved to be lynched. It was Fallows who coined the term "damaged culture" to depict the Philippines, and all the more did we endeavor to burn him at the stake. Now fifteen years after, this quondam roving corespondent of Atlantic Monthly has turned out to be dead right. Right on every count.
