This link is a proof of our mother’s tough and dangerous world as a public school teacher. And I quote,

“…The school house accommodated twenty eight (28) pupils manned by the first and lone lady teacher, Mrs. Bonifacia Redoble. Later another building was constructed in the lot of Mr. Domingo in Ipil Heights (now Tirso Babiera) which served as the Grade II pupils taught by Mrs. Milagros Ombos, while the other room served as Ipil Central Annex handled by Mrs. Teresa Babiera.”

This single classroom school was located on top of a hill which stands by a mountain. At that time this place was a timberland with trees “nga pwerteng taasa abot sa langit” that towers the rundown school building. At the foot of the mountain was the public cemetery.

Beautiful presentation of the woman behind each one of us, her children … mama may seem weak and vulnerable, but she can be a woman of steel, and, when needed, a woman who knows how to fight for her dignity and her children .. and all the time, a woman of faith. Am just amused to think that she even took as a responsibility to clean the surroundings of the parish church of San Juan, without the parish priest knowing about it: kay luoy si San Juan ug tag-as ang sagbot pirme .. hehe .. that’s from a woman who prohibited her dogs from “moving”(her words), meaning toileting, on her Bermuda grasses! haha
