    BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE:
    Millions of Filipinos have left the Philippines in order to look for
    greener pastures abroad. It is startling to discover that the
    biggest segment of Asian- Americans in the United States is
    composed of Filipino-Americans. There are also Filipinos going as
    far as the Middle East and Australia, working as healthcare
    workers, teachers, entertainers, accountants, engineers,
    electricians, mechanics, chefs, and domestic helpers. This trend
    will continue on into the future, unless there are better job
    opportunities here in the country. This reality has been called the
    Philippine diaspora, and comes with societal consequences.

    5. What do you think is the real message behind the anecdote or the
    “turban legend”?
    6. Do you think that Filipinos who live or work abroad suffer from
    homesickness? Explain your answer.
    7. The author’s luggage is Louis Vuitton. How does that
    help characterize the narrator?
    8. Do you think that when Filipinos are abroad, they are
    proud of being a Filipino? Why or why not?
    9. The title “Turban Legend” is a play on words on the
    phrase “urban legend.” What does “urban legend”
    mean? Why it was changed to “turban legend”?
    10. What is the significance of the story?
