I have not seen Ligao in two years and there is another year ending and the prospects of visiting this town I call home are as remote as ever. The last time I went there was in ’62, on the eve of a departure that meant crossing an ocean for faraway places and that visit had been made on something deeper than impulse, squeezed in between passports and vacation shots – and yet, once in Ligao, what did I really do? I stayed only twelve hours, just long enough to pick up half a dozen blooms from my aunt’s garden and jump into a tricycle for the familiar ride to the municipal cemetery where my father lies buried.(Kerima Polotan, Small Town Filipinos)
