In honor of Larry Itliong, who was born today, 100 years ago, in San Nicolas, Pangasinan, the Philippines, I present another excerpt from my novel-in-progress, A Village in the Fields. Following my last excerpt, we find our protagonist, Fausto Empleo, as a young boy, with his first experience of America on his home soil, in his hometown of San Esteban, Ilocos Sur, the Philippines.
