It is the fact that the Pinoy is a lover of the homeland and his patrimony and never is that quality more pronounced than when he is suffering from homesickness while in a land faraway - thinking of the family he left behind, lutong-bahay, his barkada, the free expression of his faith, and the wonderfully long Christmases - in spite of the wads of dollar bills in his pocket or the snowflakes on his face or of hobnobbing with the rich and famous, or the glitter and glamour that can only be found while working in the richer countries of the world, and last but not least, in spite of the feeling of having seen and experienced all that the world has to offer.
