[OPINION] Coming home is always hard, but always easy Mar 17, 2021 1:44 PM PHT "Are you back in the Philippines? Why did you come back?" a source asked me one day, when I was asking for information for a report. Not this question again, I thought. I've run out of ways to answer that question, and frankly, my family is also running out of ways to understand why I keep coming back. I've just come from an extended 3-month stay in the United Kingdom, where my family lives. It was only supposed to be for one month, but the new UK COVID-19 variant closed the border and forced me to extend for another month.
