fo- THE COUNTRY The Road is long and bumpy...the great sun beats down on the brown dust of the highway. As the bus tears along at unblievable speeds you loolfs out of your window and see the rural Phillipines fly by. Y The yields are filled with rows of rice plants...the small boy sits on his ox looks up hoping you will throw a peso his way. The towns are little clusters of bleached wood houses on frail stilts. When a strong wind comes they slightly sway like cattails on a bog. Rural Philippines, a million miles away from the cram smashed city of Olongapo, and another world which a qi young American sees for the lhrst time.
