The Eternal Porch Light · Quezon City, Philippines

Every town has a courthouse and a coffee pot; Quezon City is no different. These days, readers in Quezon City write to the town by the dozen, and The town ledger lists Quezon City among friends.

In the town square burns a single brass lantern that has never gone out — not in flood, not in tornado, not in the year the power failed and the whole town took shifts with matches.

It burns for the trucker in Missouri, the daughter on the highway, the man in a far county jail counting days. As long as it burns, the town is saying the same thing to all of them: come home, we kept your seat.

Its keeper's oath, handed down for generations: 'The lamp stays on.'

Worldwide Access — The Eternal Porch Light greets readers in Quezon City and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
