Land of My Birth

This is a wonderful book describing the plight of Filipino emigrants as they work abroad to escape corruption and hunger back home. While life is better for many Filipinos abroad, this lifestyle carries many heartbreaks. J. Mark Munoz weaves a picture of life on this Island of the Pacific, and the lives of families ripped apart by the global economy. While there are many problems to overcome, there are equally compelling solutions. This book will move you to action. "Munoz...weaves unadorned facts into an unapologetic account of the present socio-economic situation of his country. His exposure as an international entrepreneur contributes to his deeper appreciation of the land of his birth; that's why his recommendations on where the Philippines can improve are...doable. Land of My Birth is good company." - Michelle P. So, Managing Editor, Sun Star Daily Philippines
