Activist Filipino Writes About Life That Matters

Rey Abaya, born in the Philippines but now living in Hayward, California, has just published a book titled "A Life That Matters: Autobiographical Essays of a Filipino Activist." Calling himself a progressive Filipino Catholic, he expounds on how this has colored his responses to life's challenges, including the loss of his wife to cancer and his own travails as a cancer patient. - November 20, 2009
