Setup
Why did the balikbayan box go to therapy?
Punchline
Because it had too much baggage — and every item inside came with a three-page story from Lola about how she needs more chocolates next time.
Commentary: The balikbayan box is not just a shipping container. It is a love letter. A guilt trip. A cargo manifest of sacrifice. And somehow there is never enough corned beef.
