THE plane has touched down after a bit of turbulence, thanks to the ever-unpredictable Philippine weather. Upon disembarking, you're greeted by a familiar scene: a crowded airport, balikbayan boxes everywhere and stores urging you to buy last-minute goodies for your family — not this time, though, since you have already bought pasalubong.

Today, after all, is a special day. You've returned to the homeland before, but this time, you're coming home for good. Welcome home, kabayan.
