A letter to pedro also known as pete

        


      The poem "Letter to Pedro, U.S. Citizen, also called Pete" is a response to the ongoing reality of Filipino immigration to foreign countries in search of greener pastures due to a catastrophe of problems the Philippines is facing, as reflected by the sentence enjambment, melancholy imagery, blatant satire, and double persona.

       The poem thoroughly describes the main characters' previous lives. The author discusses societal corruption as well as the differences between the past and the present.

       As the major protagonists confront their present, there are also sentimental overtones from their upbringing
