GREETINGS READER,
THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME AND ENJOYING MY WORK.
-YOU DON'T NEED TO READ THROUGH THIS PAGE AND MAY CONTINUE TO EP. 1-
BEFORE YOU PROCEED, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS TAKING PLACE IN THE PHILIPPINES. HENCE, THERE ARE TERMS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.
FIRST, LOLA.
LOLA MEANS GRANDMOTHER IN FILIPINO SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT LOLA IS NOT THE GRANDMOTHERS NAME, HER NAME IS VICTORIA QUEZON. ATTORNEY VINCENT RAMOZ USES LOLA BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT IN THE FILIPINO CULTURE THAT ELDERS ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT, WHETHER THEY ARE RELATED TO YOU OR NOT WHEN WE SPEAK ABOUT AN ELDER WE MUST REFER TO THEM AS LOLO OR LOLA.
BARONG TAGALOG: A TRADITIONAL FILIPINO CLOTHING THAT IS WORN BY MEN. IT'S MADE UP OF LIGHT MATERIAL AND IS A BIT SEE THROUGH. MOST PEOPLE WEAR IT IN OCCASIONS LIKE WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS, AND FUNERALS.
PAROLS: CHRISTMAS LANTERNS USUALLY STAR-SHAPED LANTERNS. FAMOUS AND COMMONLY USED CHRISTMAS DECORATION IN THE PHILIPPINES.
OTHER TERMS THAT WILL BE USED IN FUTURE CHAPTERS WILL BE ADDED HERE SO FEEL FREE TO COME BACK ON THIS PAGE IF SOMETHING IS CONFUSING. IF IT ISN'T AVAILABLE HERE, MAKE SURE TO COMMENT OR DIRECT MESSAGE ME AND I WOULD LOVE TO CLARIFY IT FOR YOU.
