We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers
by Alejandro Roces

We Filipinos are mild drinkers. We drink for only three good

reasons. We drink when we are very happy. We drink when
we are very sad. And we drink for any other reason. When
the Americans recaptured the Philippines, they built an air
base a few miles from our barrio. Yankee soldiers became a
very common sight. I met a lot of GIs and made many
friends. I could not pronounce their names. I could not tell
them apart. All Americans looked alike to me. They all
looked white.

One afternoon I was plowing our rice field with our carabao
named Datu. I was barefooted and stripped to the waist. My
pants, that were made from abaca fibers and woven on
homemade looms, were rolled up to my knees. My bolo was
at my side.

An American soldier was walking on the highway. When he

saw me, he headed towards me. I stopped plowing and
waited for him. I noticed he was carrying a half-pint bottle
of whiskey. Whiskey bottles seemed part of the American
uniform.

“Hello, my little brown brother,” he said patting me on the

head.

“Hello, Joe,” I answered.

All Americans are called Joe in the Philippines.

“Any bars in this town?” he asked.

That was usually the first question American soldiers asked

when they visited our barrio.

“I am sorry, Joe,” I replied. “There are no bars in this

barrio.”

“Oh, hell! You know where I could buy more whiskey?”

“No, Joe. I am sorry. We do not drink whiskey.”

“Here, have a swig. You have been working too hard,” be.
said, offering me his half-filled bottle.

“No, thank you, Joe,” I said. “We Filipinos are mild drinkers.”

“Well, don’t you drink at all?”

“Yes, Joe, I drink, but not whiskey.”

“What the hell do you drink?”

“I drink lambanog.”

“Jungle juice, eh?”

“I guess that is what the GI’s call it.”

“You know where I could buy some?”

“I have some you can have, but I do not think you will like
it.”

“I’ll like it all right. Don’t worry about that. I have drunk
everything—whiskey, rum, brandy, tequila, gin, champagne,
saki, vodka…” He mentioned many more that I can not spell.

“Say, you sure drink a lot, don’t you?”

“I not only drink a lot, but I drink anything. I drank Chanel

Number 5 when I was in France. In New Guinea I got soused
on Williams’ Shaving Lotion. When I was laid up in the
hospital I got pie-eyed with medical alcohol. On my way
here in a transport I got stoned on torpedo juice. You ain’t
kidding when you say I drink a lot. So let’s have some of
that jungle juice, eh?”

“All right,” I said. “I will just take this carabao to the

mudhole, then we can go home and drink.”

“You sure love that animal, don’t you?”

“I should,” I replied. “It does half of my work.”

“Why don’t you get two of them?”

I did not answer.

I unhitched Datu from the plow and led him to the mudhole.
Joe was following me. Datu lay in the mud and was going:
“Whooooosh! Whooooosh!”

Flies and other insects flew from his back and hovered in
the air. A strange warm odor rose out of the muddle. A
carabao does not have any sweat glands except on its nose.
It has to wallow in the mud or bathe in a river about every
three hours. Otherwise it runs amok.

Datu shook his head and his widespread horns scooped the
muddy water on his back. He rolled over and was soon
covered with slimy mud. An expression of perfect
contentment came into his eyes. The he swished his tail
and Joe and I had to move back from the mudhole to keep
from getting splashed. I left Datu in the mudhole. Then,
turning to Joe, I said: “Let us go.”

And we proceeded towards my house. Joe was curiously

looking around.

“This place is full of coconut trees,” he said.

“Don’t you have any coconut trees in America?” I asked.

“No,” he replied. “Back home we have the pine tree.”

“What is it like?”

“Oh, it is tall and stately. It goes straight up to the sky like a

skyscraper. It symbolizes America.”

“Well,” I said, “the coconut tree symbolizes the Philippines.

It starts up to the sky, but then its leaves sway down to
earth, as if remembering the land that gave it birth. It does
not forget the soil that gave it life.”

In a short while, we arrived in my nipa house. I took a

bamboo ladder and leaned it against a tree. Then I climbed
the ladder and picked some calamansi.

“What’s that?” Joe asked.

“Philippine lemon,” I answered. “We will need this for our

drinks.” “Oh, chasers.”

“That is right, Joe. That is what the soldiers call it.”

I fill my pockets and then went down. I went to the garden

well and washed the mud from my legs. Then we went up a
bamboo ladder to my hut.

It was getting dark, so I filled a coconut shell with coconut

oil, dipped a wick in the oil and lighted the wick. It
produced a flickering light. I unstrapped my bolo and hung it
on the wall.

“Please sit down, Joe,” I said.

“Where?” he asked, looking around.

“Right there,” I said, pointing to the floor.

Joe sat down on the floor. I sliced the calamansi in halves,

took some rough salt and laid it on the foot-high table. I
went to the kitchen and took the bamboo tube where I kept
my lambanog.

Lambanog is a drink extracted from the coconut tree with

pulverized mangrove bark thrown in to prevent spontaneous
combustion. It has many uses. We use it as a remedy for
snakebites, as counteractive for malaria chills, as an
insecticide and for tanning carabao hide.

I poured some lambanog on two polished coconut shells

and gave one of the shells to Joe. I diluted my drink with
some of Joe’s whiskey. It became milky. We were both
seated on the floor. I poured some of my drink on the
bamboo floor; it went through the slits to the ground below.

“Hey, what are you doing,” said Joe, “throwing good liquor
away?”

“No, Joe,” I said. “It is the custom here always to give back
to the earth a little of what we have taken from the earth.”

“Well!” he said, raising his shell. “Here’s to the end of the

war!”

“Here’s to the end of the war!” I said, also lifting my drink.

I gulped my drink down. I followed it with a slice

of calamansi dipped in rough salt. Joe took his drink, but
reacted in a peculiar way. His eyes popped out like a frog’s
and his hand clutched his throat. He looked as if he had
swallowed a centipede.

“Quick, a chaser!” he said.

I gave him a slice of calamansi dipped in unrefined salt. He

squirted it in his mouth. But it was too late. Nothing could
chase her. The calamansidid not help him. I don’t think even
a coconut would have helped him.

“What is wrong, Joe?” Tasked.

“Nothing,” he said. “The first drink always affects me this

way.”

He was panting hard and tears were rolling down his

cheeks.

“Well, the first drink always acts like a mine sweeper,” I

said, “but this second one will be smooth.”

I filled his shell for the second time. Again I diluted my drink
with Joe’s whiskey. I gave Joe his shell. L-noticed that he
was beaded with perspiration. He had unbuttoned his collar
and loosened his tie. Joe took his shell but did not seem
very anxious. I lifted my shell and said: “Here is to
America!”

I was trying very hard to be a good host.

“Here’s to America!” Joe said.

We both killed our drinks. Joe again reacted in a funny way.

His neck stretched out like a turtle’s. And now he was
panting like a carabao gone amok. He was grasping his tie
with one hand. Then he looked down on his tie, threw it to
one side, and said: “Oh, Christ, for a while I thought it was
my tongue.”

After this he started to tinker with his teeth.

“What’s wrong, Joe?” I asked, still trying to be a perfect

host.

“Plenty, this damned stuff had loosened my bridgework.”

As Joe exhaled, a moth flying around the flickering flame

fell dead.

He stared at the dead moth and said: “And they talk of DDT.”

“Well, how about another drink?” I asked. “It is what we

came here for.”

“No, thanks,” he said, “I’m through.”

“Surely you will not refuse my hospitality?”

“O.K. Just once more.”

I poured the juice in the shells and again diluted mine with
whiskey I handed Joe his drink.

“Here’s to the Philippines,” he said.

“Here’s to the Philippines,” I said.

Joe took some of his drink. I could not see very clearly in
the flickering light, but I could have sworn I saw smoke out
of his tears.

“This stuff must be radioactive,” he said.

He threw the remains of his drink on the nipa wall and

yielded: “Blaze, goddamn you, blaze!”

Just as I was getting in the mood to drink, Joe passed out.

He lay on the floor flat as a starfish. He was in a class all by
himself.

I knew that the soldiers had to be back in their barracks at

a certain time. So I decided to take Joe back. I tried to lift
him. It was like lifting a carabao. I had to call four of my
neighbors to help me carry Joe. We slung him on top of my
carabao. I took my bolo from my house and strapped it on
my waist. Then I proceeded to take him back. The whole
barrio was wondering what had happened to the big
Amerikano.

After two hours I arrived at the air field. I found out which
barracks he belonged to and took him there. His friends
helped me take him to his cot. They were glad to see him

back. Everybody thanked me for taking him home. As I was

leaving the barracks to go home, one of his buddies called
me and said:

“Hey, you! How about a can of beer before you go?”

“No, thanks,” I said. “We Filipinos are mild drinkers.”
