Hurray, you continued it! ^_^ And it's even more interesting now - Maria Matanza really freaked me out back there. However, you might want to check the first chapter, there are some errors there. And you might also want to describe rooms from the colonial era in more detail - people outside the Philippines probably have no idea what 'narra', 'capiz' and 'saya' are. ^_^ Please continue soon!

This is an intriguing story. Yes, it's confusing, but I guess it's supposed to be that way. You do a good job creating a convincing 15-year-old girl (and her siblings). I assume that you'll explain more later about the Binders. Is the story supposed to take place in any particular locale? I couldn't tell, but some of the phrases made me curious. All in all, a very interesting beginning.
