That’s an exaggeration, you may have surmised. But for the hundred or so people I interacted with in South Africa and Swaziland, it was the first time ever for most of them to meet a Filipino. In fact, they don’t know where the Philippines is.
When asked which country I come from, I always reply: “I am from the Philippines in Asia!” If they look like they don’t know where the Philippines is, I am quick to add: “South of China and Hong Kong, above Indonesia.”
Tomorrow: Napagkamalan I
