Being Fil-Am, my mother and her siblings were born in the Philippines, their mother tongue is Tagalog. Her family moved to Hawai'i similar to Bretman's family. However, my mom, aunts, and uncles forgot Tagalog after being scolded by white people to learn English. They shed most aspects of their culture to assimilate into white society. It makes me devastated but this book inspired me to get back in touch with my lost Filipina roots.
This book helped me introduce my auntie to Bretman and his online presence. She found videos of Bretman talking about the Philippines and was able to share glimpses of her childhood with me. We're now talking more about what her life was like and reconnecting on a deeper ancestral level now that I have a larger appreciation and interest. Thank you, Bretman.
