Differences in culture belief between parent born in Philippines and Francis born in America:

It was a great pleasure to interview Francis Reyes. Francis Reyes was recommended  to me by Professor Erpelo. Francis Reyes was a former student at Skyline currently attending SF State. At the end of this semester, he is going to graduate from SF State. Francis was born in Daly City. But his parents were born in the Philippines. In order to give child a good life and to leave the past behind, parents moved to U.S. My goal of this interview is to find out the differences he see between his parent born in Philippine and himself born in the U.S and the differences he sees between U.S and the Philippines.
