An Open Letter to Spain
Dear Spain,
I was born in the Philippines and grew up in the United States – Los Angeles, California to be exact. Growing up as a Filipino in the United States, I’ve felt the need to learn the history of my adopted country and my mother country. It seems that for over 300 years, Spain pretty much had their way with the Philippines. Granted, you guys got the hell out of Pinas back in 1898 but there have been lasting negative effects on Filipinos due to Spanish influence.
