Sino si Juan

Kuwento nina Gigo Alampay at Annette Ferrer
Inilaraw ni John Paul Antido

Parehong Pilipino ang magulang ni Juan, pero nakatira silang lahat sa England. Madalas siyang kuwentuhan ng kaniyang mga magulang tungkol sa Pilipinas—tungkol sa kultura, kasaysayan, mga kuwento, at mga tradisyon nito. Pero ni minsan di pa nakatungtong si Juan sa Pilipinas. Hanggang ngayon.

Sa unang pagkakataon sa kaniyang buhay, bibisita si Juan sa Pilipinas. Samahan siya sa kaniyang pagtuklas ng kahulugan ng pagiging isang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng mga palaisipan, pagkulay, at iba pa.
