My country is a country that disappoints. I can very well say this to myself now ten years after returning to my homeland in what was supposedly the better world of the West. Ten years ago I was willing to bet my stake on the future and promise of these beautiful islands, only to realize that things have not changed in those ten long years but have in fact deteriorated to a point of hopelessness for Juan de la Cruz.

My boss was kind enough to give me a despedida lunch at Don Henrico's yesterday as I say goodbye to the Corporate Office and assume a frontline position in our branch in another part of Manila.
