Knowing Home

Philippines

When you see a man in a rush to cross the street up to the centerline, then completes the crossing by walking leisurely, sometimes diagonally, to be almost within hitting distance of an oncoming vehicle, you know you’re in the Philippines. When a passenger sits in such a way that he’s inches away from within reach, or farthest from the jeepney driver hoping other passengers fill the gap so he can pass the fare, you know you’re in the Philippines. When you hear “Pssssst!” on the street and you look back, “Who called?” You know you’re in the Philippines!
