When one thinks of the Flores de Mayo, or the Flowers of May — a month-long religio-historical Philippine custom — some things instantly come to mind: blooms in abundance, of course, and the famous Santacruzan, a procession of the town’s most beautiful young ladies walking under canopies of flowers.

My father, a physician-surgeon, was systematic and methodical. He did every task thoroughly. He infused his systematic and methodical manner with loving thought and care. For this reason, he wrote letters constantly to his children and grandchildren,  keeping two duplicate copies of every letter he wrote!

1) The "epoch" or "period" mother


You called her "Ima" or "Nanay." 


She stored her diploma and stayed home to fuss over the stove and fed you home-cooked meals. She was your first teacher.

"Sat at the back. Didn’t receive Communion, having felt I haven’t earned it. After Mass, on my way home, I was hailed by a semi-urchin, whom I knew.
