Her departure, however, threatens to tear apart the very family she leaves for love. Out of a sense of desperation and responsibility as the eldest son, Tonio embarks on an almost foolhardly quest to leave the island where he was born and bring his mother back home. The adventure he meets and the characters he encounters, from the dark ports of Manila to the glittering streets of Hong kong, gives uncanny life to the issues of familial sacrifice and overseas labor which have now marked the lives of numerouse Filipinos. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK lisuga 2018-02-15 16:04:02 jderpo 2018-05-03 09:56:15 10065 10013 10013 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 FIL 895.9599 P11o 2001 HS1492 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
