Your articles are well-researched, balanced and factual. I am actually ecstatic over discovering you and your column. I am sick of reading articles in broadsheets that are not only non-informative, but actually a paid advertisement in disguise!!! Eliza (London, England) Dear Sir,

It's what writing should be: well-thought of and organized content, focused, brief and concise, precise. Im a karay-a speaking Ilongga based in Manila. Im not a writer but i know how to appreciate a good one. Im so proud of you. More power pa sa imo! Mr. Lujan,

You should be writing for a national broadsheet. Very well written article indeed. Mr. Lujan,

I want you to know that I love your writings, full of information and so well written. There are so many people in newspapers publications in Manila, pretending to be journalists or writers but they fall flat compare to your work. Your work reminds me so much on how writers should be, how writers were, thorough and should have made thorough research on their articles. They reminded me of newpapers, articles, books, I used to read with my grandfather years ago, so many years ago as a child. I came across your articles because of Brian Gorell’s blog.

It's very fascinating. It's like putting into place all the questions I had when I was living in a poor countryside forgotten by imperial manila and ransacked by corrupt politicians. Growing up poor, I always asked, why certain families have a lot of money and we don't have any? Of course I know it by now. Your article just validates them. I'm surely going to come back and I hope you won't mind me quoting you once in a while. More power, although I felt sad about our shitty sorry state of life in the Philippines. “children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.”
