MOTHERHOOD IN THE PHILIPPINES 



He doesn't know that, after his mother, Uncle Sam is his best friend. Had he belonged to an 

 earlier generation his childhood would have been spent at work in the fields until he was old enough 

 to join father in head-hunting. Under American direction, the future probably holds for him an 

 education and a respectable career as a farmer or as a member of the native police. At present he is 

 just a healthy little Ifugao; mother's back is a warm and comfortable reality — and "Who is Uncle 

 Sam, anyway ? "
