Thanks for this. I know that my mom's family in Manila and Iba had a strong matrilineal line that I would've experienced with some intensity if I had grown up there, or if more of the family had moved to the US early on. My last name by the old rules would be Vengua y Groyon.Thanks again for translating my Lola Matea's last letter to my mom and I. It means a lot.
Such a beautiful piece Ayel! Indeed, we belong to a matriarchal family! Kudos to all strong women in the world!
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece.
Thank you, Dom.

You’re welcome, Jean! I really hope to meet you in person someday.
