I was here during Marcos' time as a dictator. He was pretty nationalistic (in his own way). I mean, I recall having to stand with a formation of all the students in front of the PH flag singing something. I had no idea what we sang. But, the whole thing reminded me of the Cold War commie propaganda videos. I remember thinking, "What the hell am I doing here?"

Imagine me there and the week prior when I was in a US school. Culture shock, for sure. ;)
