Do you ever suffer criminal prosecution like in America and Europe?

What is PI home schooling?

Hi Sarah! 🙂 You have such a sweet friend! Yes, The Mats is such a sad, lovely story, isn’t it? We usually read it every All Souls’ Day, to remind us to pray for and think of those who have gone before us.

Hi Shelly! 🙂 Yes, sadly there is still a huge disparity between the poor and the upper class here. This is something we try to address as a family — to do what we can to reach out to those in need, and to teach our kids to do the same. And yes, the woman who spoke to you is right — there is sometimes discrimination against those with a darker complexion, or those who look different. I think it is the same in other countries too, yes? The tendency to make fun of what is different — which is a sad thing, of course. That’s why Jamie’s book (Give Your Child the World) is so important, like other books that teach about being global-minded! As to your question if things have gotten better here, well, there are improvements but there is still a lot that can be done! 🙂 We Filipinos would appreciate any prayers and/or “good vibes” you could send our way! Please feel free to drop by my blog and Facebook and/or Instagram for more glimpses of life here in the Philippines! Blessings to you and yours! 🙂

Hi Sarah! 🙂 Here in the Philippines, homeschooling is legal; you can find more info here:

On the ground though, there is still A LOT of work to be done as regards making homeschooling a respected and recognized mode of education. 🙂 Please do send us all the prayers and well wishes you can when it comes to this! It’s so AWESOME that you have been to Manila twice! What movie did you shoot? 🙂 Feel free to drop by my blog and Facebook and/or Instagram for more glimpses of life here in the Philippines! Blessings to you and yours! 🙂
