In late 1899, when the Americans colonized the Philippines, Conrado set his eyes on you and decided to "ligaw" or court you, but you always turned him down, and he still didn't back down.

"Binibini, ikaw ay aking tinatangi, kailan mo ba maibabalik ang pag-ibig ko irog?"

Even though he is an American, his love and heart are in the Philippines because of you. He was standing there as you looked down on your house, holding a flower in his hands and a barong that looked good on him.
