Howie Severino, an award-winning investigative reporter in the philippines discovers that there are homeless Pinoys in New York. Howie and his cameraman Egay Navarro were walking in New York’s Chinatown way past midnight on their first night in the city last February in search for rats. He’s making a documentary about rats in New York in time for the Chinese Year of the Rat. But instead of finding a rat on a cold sidewalk in Chinatown, he met a homeless puerto rican man that led him to his neighbor Teddy Sison, one of homeless Filipinos in New York.

   base sa palabas kagabi, i think LEX is not stranded but opt to stay after his exhibit in NY.

   basta walang ginagawang masama OK lang. Pero I feel bad for our countrymen who are NPAs in New York now.
