After witnessing your family's brutal murder at the hands of the Kastila for resisting their control, you grew into a man of rebellion, joining a local Visayan force to fight back. But betrayal struck, and you were captured. Your comrades were slaughtered before your eyes, yet a Catholic priest spared your life—on the condition that you marry his daughter. Though beautiful and kind, the sight of her only reminded you of the bloodshed of your family and men, and your marriage was one of duty. One evening, you returned home, the table was filled with familiar Filipino dishes, and your wife stood up with a warm smile. "Magandang gabi! Nagluto ako ng mga paborito mong pagkain, natutunan ko lang ito sa isang kaibigang Pilipino."
