Author Alvin Emil Vopata’s New Book, “Country Roads to Cabanatuan,” is a Powerful Memoir That Documents the Author’s Life Traversing the World to Both Teach and Learn

Antelope, CA, October 28, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Alvin Emil Vopata, who is now retired after forty-five years in education and three in social work, has completed his new book, “Country Roads to Cabanatuan”: a stirring account that centers around the author’s travels around the world while teaching special education, recounting the life lessons and experiences that have come to define him and his world view.

“Road to Cabanatuan” is the life story of one man’s unexpected experiences in the midst of inconsistencies and incongruities along the way. As a boy, the author explored his world within the limits of his family’s frugal farm in the Kansas Flint Hills where they farmed with work horses and the children attended a public school with only three students.

Although fearful from the effects of isolation and family secrets in his early life, the author writes of his nomadic travels through fifty states and six continents while accepting the challenges of being a social worker and a special education teacher, mostly with visual-impaired students.

Along the way, the author finds fulfillment and enrichment among Filipinos within their vibrant, enlightening lives. The author’s descriptions of transitions from the cornfields of Kansas to the rice fields of Luzon provide varied views of a unique life.
