• 1. Houses in Asia are supposed to be built tropical style with wide-open windows and open
ground floors to make way for floods to just pass. But houses now were patterned after Western
styles, so little windows make it so hot, and it was run over when the flood came.

• 2. Celebrations in the Philippines were dominated by Chinese and American cultures, from gowns,
food array and events places, firecrackers, etc.

• 3. Academic dreams: Filipinos take courses needed in Western countries, so after graduation,
they dream of working in the USA or any country in Europe, not here at home. We need farmers,
agricultural engineers, and agricultural business people because the Philippines is an agrarian
state.
