In this episode of Culture In Between, Becca describes her unique upbringing in a small village in the Philippines while her parents were American missionaries there. Becca tells us many stories about growing up in the country from birth to age 19, including her love of Filipino foods and the mishaps she found herself in due to not understanding American culture during her few brief stints going to school in the U.S.
