Aggie just finished using Courtney's phone as she gave the phone to the pig.
"So, you just used my phone to send that message to your aunt," Courtney guessed.
"Mm-hmm," Aggie nodded confidently.
"Why didn't you use your own phone?"
"I want to, but it'll ruin the surprise. I want the sender to be unknown to Aunt Anunciasion. She has no idea that I found her missing youngest sister."
"So, why are we riding this… long metallic vehicle instead of riding with the eagles to fly us to your aunt's house gain?" Leonard asked.
"It's called a Jeepney, Leonard," Aggie explained as it revealed the all birds, pigs and eagles were riding on 2 jeepneys while Aggie's family were driving their own cars. The birds, pigs and Aggie were inside of a jeep, while the eagles were riding on top, "Jeepney is one of the most common vehicles that we human Filipinos ever drive on. Unlike your vehicles back in Piggy Island, Jeepneys can be use for a living. Like our driver here. And since the ride should be paid with Philippine coins and none of you have some, I will pay," she took out Peso bills and coins from her wallet, and gave it to the driver.
"I think it's fun here," Debbie yelled as she was on top of the jeepney with her fellow eagles, "I would've want to see everything green and brown like this!"
"Things were a bit different back then," Zeta smiled, happy to see the word where she was raised again.
Back inside the jeepney, Ella started to ask.
"And how do you pronounce the name of this place, 'Ilo-ilo'?"
"It's Iloilo. A province is a small part of the country. The Iloilo lies on Panay Island since my country is an archipelago. Maasin is the municipality of Panay, a very small part of Iloilo. In this municipality and its barangays, everything is all about farming, with animals or plants. Sugarcanes, rice, corn, a lot of them. There's also fish pond for selling delicious mud fish. I'll show you the town of Maasin when we get there in a few minutes," Aggie said.
In the house of the Garrido Family, Anunciacion Mondejar-Garrido, the matriarch and widow of the Garrido family, was texting her oldest daughter to know how the wedding planning coming on while she was outside of the house, gardening.
Suddenly, her grandson, Matthew Lucas, came out of the house with a phone on his hand.
"Lola Anunciacion! Take a look at this!" the boy called.
"What is it, Apo?" Anunciacion asked her grandson.
"It's for you!"
When Matthew Lucas gave the phone to his grandmother, Anunciacion look at the phone, and play a video message from an "unknown sender".
The video showed Zeta, talking to the camera, "Hey, sis, Ayoy, if that's your nickname until now. You might not know me, but… if you remember…, it's me, Zeta. The little big eagle that Bernadette found from another world, and Mama and Papa adopted as their new daughter?"
Anunciacion covered her mouth with her spare hand to hide her smile. She did remember Zeta as her adoptive youngest sister. She started to tear up.
"Yep. I grew up, and I look a little different back then," the video continued, "Look, I want to meet you and see again after many many years of… running away from home. I don't know if you're mad at me or happy right now, but I want to say… I'm sorry… for running away. I'm kinda afraid to see you in person, and… I also have a lot of things to do now that I'm in charge with my kind. I hope this video was worth to be our better reunion. I'll see you soon when I can. Bye!"
As the video ended, Anunciacion wiped her tears away as she sniffed. She almost cried as she missed her adoptive little sister so much. She saw how much the youngest sister have grown.
"Lola?" Matthew Lucas grabbed his grandmother's hand, "Are you okay? Why are you crying?"
Anunciacion just sniffed, "Nothing, Apo. I'm just happy to see my long-lost little sister all grown up. I wish she was here right now to see her."
Just then, a purple wing was placed on Anunciacion left shoulder. She gasped as she turned around to see who held her shoulder, only to see her adoptive youngest sister… in person!
"Surprise!" Zeta winked.
Anunciacion jumped backward a little and gasped, "Zeta! It is you!" She rushed and hugged the tall eagle tightly as Zeta bent down and hug one of her older sisters.
"I missed you, Anunciacion!" the purple eagle cried.
"I missed you, too!" Anunciacion replied, "I was so worried all these years!"
Behind the gates and fences, Aggie, her family, the birds, pigs and eagles watched another reunion scene between sister happily as some were tearing up.
"I couldn't believe we finally saw our sister again!" Salome cried.
"I couldn't believe a let almost the whole three islands to join us," Aggie admitted. She opened a portal from the birds and pigs' world to let the other birds, pigs and eagles to enter her world and let them see what her home world would look like just before this sister moment happened.
"You did say that you don't have favorites. Plus, you would've wanted it," Mighty Eagle reminded.
"Fine. As long we didn't crowd the whole area where we are standing and we shouldn't take any more jeepneys for them, we'll be fine," Aggie said as she continued watching a sister moment.
After 5 minutes of hugging, Anunciacion and Zeta broke the hug, and they looked at each other face-to-face.
"Where have you been all this years?! What happened?! I have so many questions!" Anunciacion cried.
"I'll explain everything to you later. I just want to meet the rest of our sisters," Zeta smiled, "Where's Encar and Rosario?"
"Encar was just few houses away. Since you're here, we can meet with her first before Rosario."
"I'll tell you what I've been doing along the way when we get to Encar."
The travel is just dozens of walks away as the birds, pigs, eagles and the Mondejar Family made it in front of the original Mondejar house.
Zeta took a long stare at the old tall house as she refreshed her memory of how and where she was raised for 10 years.
"This is my old home," Zeta whispered to herself, "My childhood home."
"Alright, Zeta, Encar got sick for few years, and she was kinda weak to walk because it's been ages now, but she's as healthy as ever while Santiago took care of her," Anunciacion said, "And gladly she has more time to see you again."
Zeta's face dropped, "Oh… Maybe I shouldn't be here. She might not want to see me again. And Santiago and I were never really close because of his… condition."
"That's not true! Encar loves you very much, and she missed you ever since you left," Salome corrected.
"And we should take Encar and Santiago out of the house, while you stay here," Bernadette suggested, "They'll be so happy to see you."
"I know Santiago is my uncle, but his condition was creepy for me since… I'm a girl," Aggie admitted.
"I, uh…, get what you mean," Zeta confessed as she recalled some times when Santiago was not himself they were both children and "play" together.
"Just, all of you, stay here while my sisters and I go inside to get our sister and brother," Bernadette instructed as she, Salome and Anunciacion went inside by opening a small gate, and entered the house by the door, and closed it.
As the birds, pigs, eagles, and Aggie and few of her relatives were waiting, Zeta could feel her wings shaking as she was very nervous to see more of her adoptive siblings again after many years.
"You're scared, huh, Aunt Zeta?" Aggie guessed.
"What?! No, I'm not!" Zeta hesitated, until she looked at Aggie's smirk. She groaned in defeat, "Yeah, I'm scared and nervous. I almost never see Encar again because she was very old now."
"She's not that old. Okay, look, if you want to make another good impression for your sister and brother again, you need to practice," Aggie stood in front of Zeta, "Just pretend that I'm Aunt Encar… or Uncle Santiago… or both, and show me your first impression. It should be a good one,"
As the practice began, Zeta hesitated to talk at first as she was too nervous to say. She turned away with a nervous and exciting look on her face as she whispered to herself, "Okay, first impression is the only impression. You gotta nail this," She turned back to Aggie with a sad-happy look, "Greetings, siblings!"
But Aggie and everyone else looked uncomfortable with Zeta's first-impression practice.
"Is that good?" Zeta asked.
"Umm…," Aggie has to ne honest with her adoptive aunt as she shook her head, "No."
Zeta next showed a hunching position and waves her left wing, " Hellooooo!"
Aggie groaned disappointingly, "No!"
Next, Zeta popped out from behind a tree in a flower pot, "Oh, hey, didn't see you there."
"WHAT WAS THAT?! That's not a good impression!" Aggie shouted.
"I was nervous, okay?" Zeta yelled.
"But you weren't so nervous when leading your eagles!" the winged human groaned, "I guess when it comes to family, you feel nervous, huh?"
"Think so," Zeta nodded.
"Mm-hmm," Bomb responded.
"Been there," Glenn replied.
"Not really for some of us," Axel corrected, reminding of his own eaglet.
"Look, Aunt Zeta, a good first impression shouldn't be too good or exciting or special, and I can't use my magic to make it work like fireworks and stuff. You just have to be yourself. A good first impression is simple and sincere. And we all promise that we're behind you to support you," Aggie lightly pushed Zeta near the gate.
Zeta stared at the little gate and the door of the house as she was worried if hrr first impression for her other sister and brother would be a disaster, but she shouldn't have to worry because she still has her friends and family for support, "Simple, sincere. It's just the most important moment after many years of your life," She took a deep breath as she opened the little gate, and entered the narrow garden where small vases and pots were placed.
Inside the house, Bernadette, Anunciacion, Salome and Santiago helped Encar sitting down on her wheel chair. Santiago pushed helped pushing the wheel chair with Encar to the door.
"What is this all about?" Encar asked.
"You are not going to believe this, Encar, but we can't tell you what it was," Bernadette squealed excitingly.
"Seriously, what's going on?"
"Oh, nothing, except there's something or someone we want to show you," Salome said.
"Santiago, can you give me Encar's medicine?" Anunciacion requested.
Santiago is the only brother left of the Mondejar siblings, but grew up in not-so-normal way. He only spoke few words, and is not mature at his age. He obeyed one of his older sisters as he dropped a pill on the water as the medicine dissolves.
"Just drink your medicine, and you'll see something or someone important in your life," Anunciasion advised as she handed the glass of medicine around Encar's wrinkled hand.
"Oh, please, there's nothing more important in your life than spending my final years with my family," the older sister said.
Bernadette opened the door, and who should they found at the front porch, but Zeta practicing her greetings.
'Sup, Mondejar sibling! I'm back in the pamilya—" Zeta stopped her excitement as she made the wrong impressions, and face-palmed in embarrassment, " h, no. Knew it was wrong as soon as I said it. Sorry, that was terrible. Can I get a do-over?"
There was silence in the air, and there is no reaction to respond for few seconds. Encar looked at Zeta for the first time in years, as if tears about to fall from her eyes.
But still, Zeta wouldn't let the silence stop her from greeting the oldest living sister and last brother of her adoptive family, "Hi Encarnacion, Santiago."
Though Santiago has a little difficulty to remember the eagle, Encar dropped her glass of her liquefied medicine, and it shattered on the floor.
Zeta was about to say something, but Encar jumped off her wheel chair, and embraced her adoptive youngest sister. Encar seemed to forget all about her sickness, and her mind was focused on her long lost sister. She hugged Zeta tightly while laughing happily and lowered down because her feet can't hold of standing up that long. Zeta kneeled down to continue hugging her old adoptive sister.
Everyone, their friends and familly, watched the whole scene as they almost cried at this moment.
"I think I started to love this family," Garry secretly cried as he wiped his tear quickly.
Encar broke the hug, and looked at her fully-grown little sister, "IT'S YOU! IT'S REALLY YOU! OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Oh, look at you! Oh, standing here, so tall!" She laughed and cried at the same time happily, "I thought you were—
"Dead? Not yet!" Zeta said before secretly glanced at Aggie, "At least."
Aggie blushed in embarrassment when her eagle aunt reminded her of how she almost killed everyone when she turned evil.
"But…, Where have you been?" Encar asked.
"I went back to my home world… on Eagle Island," Zeta answered.
"You were back to your home world all this time? Papa and I had been searching you there!"
"Not hard enough. My parents continued raising me, and I have to go to school. And glad I did so I can find a way back to your home world!"
"Don't raise your voice at me, you feather ball! Your island was all snowy, you know!"
The sisters glared at each other like rivaled siblings. But Zeta giggled as she missed what her oldest sister used to call her as she hugged her again, "I missed how you called me like that."
Encar embraced her tall adoptive sister back as she looked up, "How have you been? Have you graduated school? What's your job?"
"It's a long story, but I've been fine, and I'm now the leader of my fellow eagles."
Encar then look around where the birds, pigs and eagles are. Aggie just waved at her a little as Encar recognized her bird friends, and realized the eagles are bigger ones than the birds, which means the eagles are the birds that her adoptive sister led with.
Encar looked back at Zeta with a proud smile on her face, "You're a leader… of your whole island?! With these eagles?! Brilliant! Whatever you are, you're every bit the woman you were decades ago!"
"I knew you like the surprise!" Salome yelled.
"SURPRISE!" Aggie cheered.
When Zeta turned to see her adoptive older brother, she wasn't happy to see him than her sisters, but she's glad that Santiago survived the curse, "Hi, Santiago."
Santiago just smiled and waved at Zeta
"Now I have reunite with the rest of the sisters: Rosario, Dolores… Wait, where is Carmen?" Zeta asked about the third sister.
Encar didn't answer as she frowned and shook her head down. Zeta turned to her other sisters, which they did the same. She also turned to Aggie, but she didn't answer. It is presumed that Carmel already died, even before Aggie was born.
"I see," Zeta mourned a little, "But I have 2 more sisters to meet. I want to see Rosario."
"Aunt Rosario? Oh, she was still in Mandog," Aggie said.
"Rosario's in Mandog? We've already been there," the purple eagle said.
"Yeah, I kinda forgot to tell you that were neighbors. Rosario's house it at the other side of our house," Salome confessed.
"And why didn't you tell me?!"
"We're little too excited for the reunion," Bernadette blushed in embarrassment.
Zeta grunted frustratingly, "Guess we have to go back to Mandog?"
"Not exactly," Aggie took out her phone from the pocket of her dress as she dialed the number of her Aunt Rosario, "I'll call her this time…, and I think the town should know you're here."
Zeta didn't know what her adoptive niece was talking about, until she realized Aggie has another plan to make this reunion wonderful, "Oh no."
Some time later, almost the whole town gathered around for a "town meeting" at the gymnasium.
Rosario made it just in time after she received a call from Aggie, and took a tricycle to get there. She already sat down on her chair, alone, with some strangers beside her, but couldn't find her niece, and wondered why Aggie sent her here.
Just then, the mayor of Maasin called Rosario to be on stage. Rosario couldn't understand why, but she climbed up the stage where she sat down near a screen to let her watch a video.
The screen revealed to another video about Zeta.
"Um, hi, everyone. My name is… Zeta Mondejar. Some of you might know me, while some of you don't, and some of you wondered why I mentioned my last name."
When she watched the video, Rosario started to tear up as she remembered her long-lost adoptive sister who she never found for many years. Even though it was just a recorded video, Rosario waved "hi" to the screen.
"I was adopted by Bautista Mondejar Sr. and Trinidad Besares-Mondejar when their youngest daughter, Bernadette Mondejar-Galido, found me as a little eaglet from another world, and the Mondejars welcomed me into their family," Zeta explained in the video while started to tear up, "10 years later, I ran away, back to my home world where my home island is, Eagle Island. I ran away for a reason, but it was no excuse. I regret, since day one, that I ran off without telling my family where I am. I never stop thinking about the humans who raised me, and treated me as one of their own. I studied and worked so hard to find a way back into your world. I seemed to give up when none of my studies worked. All I wanted when I get back there is to reunite with my family. I'm not sure if Mama and Papa are dead or alive, or few of my siblings, but at least just few living siblings, I still want to see them again. I would risk of showing up into this world just to see them again!"
Rosario started to cry when she continued to watch the video. The crowd down the stage started to cry when they listen to Zeta's video. They can reflect the story of being separated from their siblings. Some of the humans knew Zeta when she was an eaglet as they have no problem of confuse about her.
While crying and watching the video, Rosario began to whisper as she was wishing quietly, "Oh, Zeta. I'm here now. I'm still waiting for you. I missed you so much. I never forget all about you. Please come home with us."
Behind the crowd of humans, Zeta and the rest of her company were watching the whole scene as they were about to cry.
Aggie wiped her tears as she trued to stay focus on the plan, "Alright, Aunt Zeta, you know what to do. Just go to Aunt Rosario, and we're still behind you to support you."
"Okay," Zeta turned to the other sisters and only brother, "What about you?"
"Don't worry, we'll catch up. Now, go!" Salome said as she pointed her finger to Rosario, gesturing Zeta to go.
Zeta turned around, taking a deep breath, and marched at the middle line of the crowd.
As Zeta walked forward without making eye-contact with the other humans, some humans who might knew here just gasped and looked at her.
"Wait, who is that?"
"Is that…?"
"It is! It's her!"
"She's here, all grown up!"
"She's so taller than I imagined."
When the crowd saw Zeta, they were screaming in excitement as they couldn't wait for the upcoming sister reunion. Some teenagers were jumping, while some adults were gonna cry. Aggie and Debbie embraced one another as they are also excited for this moment. Chuck and Silver did the same as siblings.
When Zeta climbed up the stage while Rosario was still crying and watching the video, and the eagle kneeled down, and surprisingly hugged her sister.
Rosario turned around and screamed happily to see her adoptive eagle sister again, "Oh, Zeta, you're here! You came back!" she cried so loud, the whole gym heard her cry.
"I came home," Zeta whispered as she shed a tear, and hugged one of her older sisters tightly.
The whole gym broke in silence while the crowd humans started to cry at this lovely sister moment. The birds, pigs, eagles and the rest of the Mondejar family also cried.
"It's so beautiful," Chuck whimpered in tears.
"Here you go, buddy," Bomb gave Chuck at tissues as the yellow bird blew his beak on it.
"I don't want to say this…," Silver swallowed a little amount of her cry, "But I think I'm started to get… jealous."
Ruby heard what Silver said, even through these loud cries of the crowd as she replaced her sadness with scoff, "Why would you be jealous? I thought you already happy of what you have with your life?. What are you jealous about?"
Silver sniffed in confession, "THIS! This beautiful family reunion moment! How could Aggie have a family so big and loving, and her relatives and the other humans around didn't matter how different Zeta was to them?"
"Because, Silver, Aggie's family, any of her family, have always placed emphasis of putting family first! Why else Aggie treated her close friends as her own family? because that's what she is! I thought you knew about that!" Ruby yelled so Silver can hear her, despite of the humans loud cries.
"But why Aggie was still not contented with her life now that she has a loving family?!"
"Because family is the only thing Aggie has! In fact, she's the only member of her family who doesn't have friends. What happened if she doesn't have a family anymore?! Huh?! That's why she needs us! Her friends! You know what, Silver?! You're not the only one who needs friends in this world… and you almost stole them from Aggie!" Ruby explained as she continued to watched the heartwarming reunion.
Silver heard what Ruby said as she came to her senses that she understood why Aggie was so upset when no one's looking up to her back in Bird Island, and thought her own friends doesn't like her anymore because Silver had done a lot to save Bird Island and Piggy Island. Aggie might have a loving family, but her life might get worst if they are all gone.
Red was also watching this family scene as he heard what Chuck said about this being beautiful, "It sure is," he nodded in agreement as he tried not to cry at this cheesy moment. Then, he turned to Aggie, "Ags, please tell me this is your last family reunion surprise!"
"There is one sister left, but… wait," Aggie thought of something as she turned to her two aunts, "Aunt Anunciacion, Aunt Salome, do Dam, Quake, Julie, Kendee, and Lye know about Zeta?"
In a big house near the market of Maasin, 5 of Aggie's cousins; Dam and Quake, daughters of Anunciacion; Julie and Kendee, daughters of Salome; and Lya, daughter of Rosario, were making invitations for Kendee upcoming wedding. Michael Villa, Dam's husband, was also there to help with the planning while serving the girls some soda.
"This folding bone is so nice! Who knew that planning a wedding could be so fun?" Dam folded a piece of paper and handed it to her sister.
"I did!" Quake answered as she stamped the ink on the card that read "You're invited". She passed the paper to Kendee and her fiance, Simon.
The couple signed the initials on the paper as they gave it to Lye.
"We've been stuffing these envelopes ALL DAY!" Lye groaned tiredly as she put the card in the envelope, and hands it to Julie, "How many does that make?"
Julie licked and sealed the envelope, "That makes… 60!"
"Hey, girls," a voice was heard as the cousins looked at who was at the door. It was none other than Zeta with Aggie holding her wing for support. Glad that the door was big enough for her to get in, possibly because of Aggie's magic adjusting the door for Zeta, "Did you guys miss me?"
While the cousin stared at the eagle, only Dam and Quake dropped their sodas simultaneously, dumbstruck. It seemed only Quake and Dam knew about Zeta, but the rest of the cousins didn't yet.
"Ha! You girls lose!" Michael exclaimed in triumph, then looked at Zeta, "Also, less importantly, who are you?"
"I brought Zeta back! I hope that's cool," Aggie smiled sheepishly.
Dam got up from sitting down on the coach as she walked up to Zeta slowly, "Auntie… Zeta?"
Zeta looked at Dam in worry, thinking one of her nieces doesn't want to see her again. But then, Dam threw her arms around her eagle aunt.
"Whoa, Dam!"
Before Zeta could say more, Quake joined in the hug as she tackled her sister and adoptive aunt down.
"We haven't seen you since we're kids. We really missed you! We—" Quake almost eared up.
"Look, I'm right here now! Agatha told me everything about you," Zeta said.
While Aggie watched in awe, Julie, Kendee and Lye walked towards their younger cousin, and smirked at her.
"So, is anyone going to introduce me?" Michael asked, waiting for someone to introduce himself to the new visitor.
"Let's give 'em some space. I think we have a lot to learn about something… or someone like her," Kendee responded while looking at Zeta.
"Have you met the other titas yet? They'll be happy to see you!" Dam expected.
"I already met them, except for one," Zeta remembered one more sister that she haven't reunite with yet, but she was worried that this last sister won't want to see her again.
At the church of Maasin, St. James the Greater church, Dolores Mondejar, a nun, just finished praying as she headed out of the church. When she got out, she saw most of her family in front of her the residents of the whole town.
"Now where'd you all get to? I haven't seen or heard from you all day. And what's with the crowd and some of Agatha's friends?" the nun asked
"We've been all over. Learning about our family's history," Julie responded.
"Okay," Dolores was a little confuse about that respond
"And our long-lost adoptive aunt," Aggie added.
This caused Dolores to gasp as she remembered who's this "long-lost adoptive aunt" that Aggie was talking about.
The birds, pigs and eagles moved aside as Zeta showed herself in front of her nun sister.
For Dolores, she was surprised and happy that her youngest adoptive sister was finally came back, all grown up. It's been so long that they never found Zeta after she ran away. Although their parents and siblings were very sad and worried about Zeta throughout the years, but Dolores half-blamed her youngest sister for making the whole family worried, and wanted to move on from thinking about Zeta. She still loved Zeta as her own sister, but Dolores was still angry at her for secretly running away as she glared at the purple eagle.
"So... you're back, huh?"
"I sure am," Zeta bravely admitted, but shook down in guilt," Never should've left."
But Matthew Lucas turned the mood right for his adoptive great-aunt as he said, "Knowing you and learning all about our family, even how great-grandma and great-grandpa adopted you, I feel like I found a piece of me I didn't even know was missing"
Hearing your story makes me feel happy to be born into this family," Aggie cried proudly.
Dolores sighed in defeat for keeping Zeta as a secret from the new generations as she put her hand on Aggie's shoulder, "I'm sorry. I should've told you all about her sooner."
"And I should've been here," Zeta wished, "Ah, I can't believe my runaway keep me from… my family."
"Nothing's keeping you from us now," Aggie flew up to Zeta, and held both of her wings, "Let's not miss anything else."
"Agatha's right. Welcome home, little sis," Dolores held her hand up to Zeta for a hand shake.
"Thanks, big sis," Zeta shook her wing to Dolores' hand lightly.
"Now that we're all together, there's something' we want to show you. Lolo and Lola left us something to remember them by. Come on!" Aggie told everyone as she led her family, friends, and anyone who wanted to come along.
Aggie led them all to an old farm where the Mondejars used to live before moving to their current home. She and her cousins moved the grown bushes aside to show Bernadette, Salome, Anunciacion, Encar, Rosario, Dolores and Santiago a remembrance from Bautista and Trinidad.
The Mondejar siblings gasped as they saw a statue of them and the rest of their deceased siblings at their youth with heroic poses. Every statue of a Mondejar sibling are attached to one another. The tallest and oldest are standing at the back with their fingers pointing forward like a hero while the youngest and smallest ones are sitting on front with chest-up pose. Zeta, as an eaglet, was the youngest but the biggest of all the siblings, standing behind her adoptive human siblings, and made a similar pose with the oldest ones.
"It's beautiful," Anunciacion cried.
It's... impossible," Bernadette sobbed.
At the pedestal of the statue, the names were listed by order:
Jose
Francisco
Encarnacion
Marcos
Dolores
Carmen
Anunciacion
Bautista Jr.
Salome
Rosario
Bernadette
Santiago
Zeta
Zeta's name on the pedestal has a small purple feather besides it. Zeta placed her wing on her name with the feather as she started to cry. She realized that, even before or after death, her adoptive parents still loved her, and always made her their own daughter.
"If anything's gonna make it through, it's us Mondejar Family!" Aggie said.
The Mondejar siblings smiled at one another as they all group hug with their family, and they and their friends and the other humans looked at the statues of Bautista Sr. and Trinidad's beloved children.
HOORAY! I DID IT! I FINISHED THIS BEAUTIFUL CHAPTER!
I hope you guys learn something, not just values, but also some Philippine stuff and about Aggie's family on her mother's side.
Panay is the sixth-largest and fourth most-populous island in the Philippines, and it is divided into four provinces: Aklan, Antique, Capiz and Iloilo, which Iloilo is the setting of the story.
Maasin, officially the Municipality of Maasin, is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Iloilo with 50 barangays.
There are some reunion scenes that i got the reference from like Ducktales (Nothing Can Stop Della Duck), Steven Universe (Maid Of Honor), and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (The Perfect Pear).
There are Filipino words that were used in this chapter:
Lolo=Grandfather/Grandpa
Lola=Grandmother/Grandma
Apo=Grandchild
Tita/Titas=Aunt/s
