😄LOLZHmmmppffff, so far, the story feels like overstretched for me, I think? It took me a long time to finish since it appears to be a slow burn. Just be careful in distinguishing some information since characters such as Tito Maning assume strong opinion- albeit conceived out of extreme fanaticism. I'm still discerning what to say in general LOL. I'm still halfway the book so I'll probably give further inputs later, if there are any.
EDIT: Soooooooo, the book was good on its own but I didn't like it that much??? The plot was decent but it was placed in a lengthy manner? To be fair, it's a YA novel din naman so it was probably great on its own. Idk HHAHAHAHAHA

There's this fair (that I forgot the name) where they display and demonstrate small villages led by ethnolinguistic tribes from the Philippines. However, this had been misconstrued so much that the foreigners thought that native Filipinos eat dogs for a living.
It's St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. - juanmanuellieцитирапреди 2 годиниThe camera kept cutting between shots of the goat’s smug face and the desperate squeezing of its unyielding teats. I said, “That’s like trying to talk to Dad on the phone,”
