Jerry Paular fondly remembered the Filipino farmhands he grew up with. They were so well-groomed and well-dressed, he said, that “you would think they were movie stars.”
“They wore suits that were just unbelievable,” Paular, a traveling suit salesman, once recalled. “They would never go to a store and buy a $20 suit and hit the streets. These guys came out looking like movie actors. And yet, they were common laborers.”
