Gapo: A Tale of Filipino Struggles | PDF | Social Science - Scribd
The city revolved around Magsaysay Drive, a strip lined with neon-lit bars, nightclubs, and massage parlors. The economy depended entirely on the "G.I. dollar." Thousands of Japayuki (Filipinas working in Japan) and hostesses worked the strip. Gapo exposes the underbelly of this system: the poverty that forced mothers to send their daughters to the bars, and the racial hierarchy where white skin was currency.
The full story of Gapo ni Lualhati Bautista is not a fairy tale. There is no "happily ever after." Sabel does not escape poverty. Spike does not find a father. Dino does not find peace.
