                    [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.

                    [Summary] => Fifteen years ago, an American chanced upon the Philippines and took critical aim "at a society that had degenerated into a war of every man against every man." 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.
