Abstract:

"Since the Spanish American War in 1898 and the subsequent control of the Philippine education system by the U.S., Filipinos have often perceived America as superior to their homeland. This comedy satire explores cultural imperialism and identity by asking the colonial question, 'What's wrong with the Filipino?'"
