Carrying Kapwa Across Borders: A Filipino Storyteller’s Life in Thailand

Being Filipino means carrying the culture of kapwa tao wherever I go. It is this deep sense of shared humanity, of seeing yourself in others, that makes us blend easily into any culture. In Thailand, I see it when I can connect with people without words, when I can respect their traditions while sharing my own. It is in the way we adapt, not by losing who we are, but by finding common ground.
