 Maria, please, we would love to hear your story. For me, unlike PJ, Key, and Bun, I wasn't a refugee during the war. I immigrated to the U.S. during the time when the economy in the Philippines is not doing great. I was born during the time of the Marcos dictatorship. That was during Ferdinand Marcos' regime in the Philippines, where we were under his dictatorship for 30 years.
