panguinguera: A woman addicted to panguingui, this being chiefly a feminine diversion in the Philippines. pansit: A soup made of Chinese vermicelli. pansitería: A shop where pansit is prepared and sold. pañuelo: A starched neckerchief folded stiffly over the shoulders, fastened in front and falling in a point behind: the most distinctive portion of the customary dress of Filipino women.

Another neighbor was going to ask Sister Bali why then did not she settle a little account with her, but the quick panguinguera suspected this and added at once: "Do you know, Juli, what you can do? Borrow two hundred and fifty pesos on the house, payable when the lawsuit is won." This seemed to be the best proposition, so they decided to act upon it that same day.
