Therefore, Pangako Garden is also called Garden of Promises. “They said that if a couple makes promises here in the garden, it will never be broken. Those promise will come true.”

It was Mako the Hunter and the Twins, Bane and Jiro. They were not calm like the Chief. They were full of energy. They were smiling naughty smiles. Mako was holding a large, yellow jungle fruit. It looked like a mango but it was much bigger. Bane was holding a bunch of purple berries that were full of sweet juice. "The Chief has made you a Queen," Mako said, his eyes looking at her body.

The woman with short hair was dreamy. Marra smiled faintly as she put some medium-sized octopus tentacles into a black plastic bag. "Pinangat, are you from Bicol?" The sad-faced woman looked at Marra and nodded. "You know. Then I'll cook adobong pugita instead." "That was very good, Auntie.
