The Filipino’s love of country has a very long history. Long before the internet or Facebook, we have had Filipinos making the extreme sacrifice of life so that we may live a little better. From Lapu-lapu to Bonifacio, from Del Pilar to Luna, we have seen different ways of struggle and advocacy for a better Philippines. They all aspired for a nation where people can live happily and without fear.

But this did not change the bond between Jesse and I that was forged on that fateful first day of school as high school freshmen many years ago.
