In our second part on Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay, we talk about important moments we found from the first half of the novel, including Jay sharing his cousin Jun's letters, his grappling with his hybrid identity, digging up the truth about the Philippines in relation to Pres. Duterte's drug war (and parallels to Mexico's war on drugs), and investigating what happened to Jun, in part by scrutinizing his uncle and police chief, Tito Maning.
