<description><![CDATA[ The Unspoken Comfort of Seeing “Kabayan” in a Foreign Land

a cold European train station,
a crowded Middle Eastern airport,
a quiet street in Canada,
or an unfamiliar city where nobody speaks your language. ]]></description>

“Babalik ako. Para sa pamilya.”
I’ll come back. For the family. ]]></description>
