An American Trapped In The Philippines

Miles Jackson is an American in the Philippines. Living on one of the country&#8217;s more than 7,000 islands. Trapped. Unable to leave the island with his Filipina wife and their daughter to come to the United States because of COVID restrictions.<br/><br/>Ironically Jackson and his wife are travel writers and consultants. So while they can book trips for clients, they can&#8217;t book passage for themselves.<br/><br/>In this interview he talks about his specific conundrum. But also about confusing and often contradictory rules in the Philippines, the nation&#8217;s struggles with getting people vaccinated and how this global pandemic continues to disrupt the lives of millions in the less affluent nations of the world.<br/><br/>If you like my postings, please consider subscribing so that they appear in your email inbox whenever I publish something new.
