Putang Inang Bayan? (An Accursed Motherland?) Hardly. A Love Letter to the People of the Philippine Archipelago
Thomas Leto, the Fil-Am author of the above manifesto,
has visited the town of Maripipi, the hometown of his mother, a few
years ago. He claims that his piece is a call for thinking and
contemplation, not action.
Welcome to the website of Biliran Province, a volunteer effort that has
evolved probably the most comprehensive and extensive provincial website in the Philippines.
Donor
governments, international organizations, non-government organizations,
investors, funding agencies, and tourists can access updated and
in-depth information about the province from here.
This website also provides a forum for presenting and
discussing political, socio-economic, cultural, and educational concerns that affect the province and its people.
Natives of Biliran and their kin and friends around the world now converge in this
cyberspace venue, if only to hear the "curacha" music. Join them as they get in touch
with each other and share information and experiences about home.
