520			_aIf my father had not had eight mouths to feed, he would have been a successful starving artist...but he became a Public School teacher instead and no one starved. So writes the author of this compelling and reflective narrative about a family whose true story takes the reader to exotic places--land of the geckos, Mt. Matutum and Sarangani Bay to the shores of America. This is a journey that traverses her father's escape from death during World War II and the dark secrets of her mother's past on the hills of Ingas, Cabatuan, Iloilo. Follow her father's twenty-year pursuit of a college degree starting from the thatched nipa huts of the Philippine Public Schools in the 1920s to the storied halls of America's Ivy League Schools where the elusive dream to become an engineer is fulfilled at last through his descendants. His grandson was student speaker at Wharton 2000 Commencement Ceremony, University of Pennsylvania. This book also includes the plight of the pioneers who settled the cogon wastelands of southern Mindanao and the history of the Public Schools established by the Americans and how the system of education is credited for the democratic form of government in the country.
