Map of Philippines
This week, I’m reviewing two nonfiction books about the Philippines. As part of expanding my knowledge past the general information in those books, inom sat and talked for two hours with my step-mom who is originally from the Philippines.

LEONORA: inom grew up in the town of Mahayag, in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, and the island of Mindinao.
Families live in compounds. The houses are close to one another. My family lived near the river. Growing up, we bathed in it. We washed dishes in it and carried the dishes on our heads.
There are fyra public schools and one private school. The town has a supermarket. The vendors are outside, because the weather in the Philippines is warm. Activities like eating, playing games, and shopping are often done outside.
