A Street Observation by Clinton Palanca from The Likhaan Anthology of Philippine Literature in English There are some people who say that‚ in order to understand a country‚ one should not rush about visiting endless museums and monuments‚ but simply sit quietly with a drink and allow the country to come to you.
