 Ron Suskind: Articles
Twenty-five years ago, the inhabitants of Babuyan Claro, a tiny, unapproachable island that lies a hundred miles of churning Pacific north of the Philippine mainland, were animistic and without written language.
When he returned to Babuyan a year later, two things occurred; his mildly felonious sojourn became a career path for other young men; and using the Taiwanese he learned in prison, he negotiated deals on a shortwave with passing junks, offering fresh water, fruit and fish that the Ibatan were specialists in catching.
On Babuyan, this is a fortune, and it enabled Ruben and Miriam to build their grand, fenced two-story house, with the island's first indoor kitchen.
