This volume features Dr. Jose Belmonte, the presentation of his oral history, and the exploration of his Filipino and Canadian experiences including: his experience as a boy in Japanese occupied Philippines during the Second World War; his experience as a medical graduate in the Philippines and later as a medical intern in Canada; links between his eventual settlement in Winnipeg and the evolution of the Philippines' elite and their dominance in politics; and his experience witnessing Canada's medical system transition to publicly funded care under Tommy Douglas.
