New Yorker in Tondo
June 22, 2008
New Yorker in Tondo is a story about a Filipino who used to live in Tondo (a squatters area in Manila ) and had a fortune to live in New York. After several years of living in New York, he visited Tondo again and he no longer knew how to speak the Filipino language because of the so-called “a culturization”. The main actor of the story is obviously ashamed of his origin. And this is true among Filipinos abroad. Let’s be proud of our country because whichever way we look at it, we will always be a Filipino.

we use the storyline of new yorker in tondo in our highschool play for "linggo ng wika". i even played the role of nena, kikay's (the new yorker in tondo) childhood friend.
it's really sad that some of the filipinos now living abroad wanted to forget their "pinanggalingan"
anyway, i'm just glad you're not like the others.
mabuhay ka!
