For a brief time, her nation were cahoots with the Chinese nation, most notable to China, and he wonders who in the world is that girl watching them while they go on with their trade business.

For someone who lived thousands of years ago, it seems he's curious of what will be of her in the future.


::PHILIPPINE ARC 0: INTRODUCTION::

Her boss would usually interact with China's boss once upon a time, trades fairly popular between them. Philippines would usually just sit there like a good, proper girl that she is, taking notes on how to interact with China and his boss as well as to make sure that she remembers everything so, in the future, she could commence a trade with them.

Of course, that is if she were a guy. Unfortunately, she's a girl and girls, at that time, are suppose to be that of a soft-spoken, polite and not get to other people's business. Well, that could be arranged, except she looks like a guy in her childhood years. Go figure.

"Now, Philippines," Her boss would say after the interaction with China's boss. "You should know our place."

Philippines only nodded in understanding.


Trade with other nations was common on those times, where money doesn't seem to be as important as of present time and payment has something to do with trading x with y to someone.

Ah, thank you for the reviews, I know Philippines isn't as 'Maria Clara' as one hopes in the last chapter, but I reckon there's a reason for that. *sobbu* It's just another (short) introductory page of Philippines and her history. From there, you'll see that she's just a small, insignificant piece of land with people that shares a fair trade with China. And yes, she just looks like a he as a child, but that's where the difference ends. She's still a she, you know. Still keep thinking of present-time Philippines as that pragmatic (probably on constant period as Spain sometimes said) yet jolly person.

DISCLAIMER::

HETALIA: AXIS POWER, its characters and everything else is owned by Hidekaz Himaruya. I do not own any of them except this shorts and the PC I am using. I don't originally own Philippines, just her 'initial' personality (because heaven knows there are a lot of people who decided to make a Philippines OC for Hetalia) and some of the story (especially the Philippine Arc) are based on the actual country's history.

Read, Review and message would give motivation to continue Philippines' adventures through the asylum. Well, we're going there if the W8 keeps up with their shenanigans.
