In Arraying Panlipunan we are taught of what foreign influences have entered our culture, but not what the Philippines has given other countries aside from OFWs. Language is a good start. My Inquirer column today on my short trip to Madrid last week.

Freud and I wanted a haircut,but the barbershop was closed. This obscure Madrid street references Macabebe soldiers who lent their services to the Spanish Crown. Another group that has gone down in nationalist history as mercenaries lent their services to the Americans who captured Emilio Aguinaldo in 1901. Macabebes may have a bad rep but I guess when asked about their loyalties they would reply, “trabaho lang po, walang personalan.” Thanks to Ian Alfonso from M...
