Isn’t it contradictory that “Belief in God who doesnt want to see women trapped in a life of hardship…” to the belief in the life after death? Isn’t it that the cause of suffering is the belief in God and in life after death? Just asking.

Inspiring, to listen to stories like these of that generation. I’ve always wondered why had there not been as many stories as in Rizals time of these abuse. Its not cause there weren’t any, its just the pain and the shame was just too much.

That just pisses me off more about why people are tolerating such injustice up to now.

I knew & admired Marie, & she is exactly as Cat portrayed her with such evocative language.

“Belief in a God who doesn’t want to see women trapped in a life of hardship and poverty, a life where hearts are chronically plagued with pain and worry as to how to provide for their families.” -

The best description of God I ever read. Great post!

Excellent. Very rare in to have a lola like that I think, considering the society and the period.

Excellent story! I’m sure many would be as proud to have a Lola such as her.
