Bob Marley in the Philippine Islands





I do not know the reason behind the appeal of Bob Marley to local beach dwellers (I mean the real island-born, or those who live near shores or in small islands). It’s peculiar how hundreds of thousands of miles from Jamaica, some of our countrymen idolize this Rastafarian. In remote Apo Island, it’s a surprise to see a full-blown gazebo selling Marley trinkets. And the music lives on… even just for during the 3 hours per day where there is electricity in the island.
