I am Orion's sister. He is the most intelligent, logical and most extremely talented human I know. Privately, Kuya and I get into many heated and volatile arguments, mostly on his mode of delivery, but never the heart of his ideas. So if it ever spills out here, I apologize in advance. I am here because this is the bravest, boldest and most radical idea he has. And I fully support it. Not because he is my brother, but because it is logical and possible. I live in the US of A with my 2 kids. My husband travels to the developing world, and goes to Manila occasionally. I work for the North Carolina Solar Center at NC state University where I develop and administer professional development and training courses in renewable energy. I wanted to be a politician. But I married a Jew. (Try being a Jesus-is-not-God candidate in Catholic Philippines! ) I want to live in the Philippines so my children get to live their heritage, not just enjoy the vacations. I want to not have any more Cebu City National Science High school reunions in Las Vegas. I want the smart ones to stay in the Philippines, and those who have left to go back. I want pinoy workers to be able to negotiate a livable wage and a balanced work life. I want this American I live in the Philippines... plus maybe a full time helper.
