To summarize the Spanish influence on the Igorot and this includes any influence which the Ilokano or Tagalog may have had since they came among the people under Spanish protection it is believed that no essential institution of the Igorot has been weakened or vitiated to any appreciable degree.
I pondered over the matter, as I wished that even if they could not love me, by getting something useful from me, they might remember me with less bitterness. You know that in nearly all the schools the books are in Spanish, with the exception of the catechism in Tagalog, which varies according to the religious order to which the curate belongs.
Naturally, Sisa did not understand such Tagalog, and this ignorance calmed the Medusa's wrath, for one of the beautiful qualities of this lady was to try not to know Tagalog, or at least to appear not to know it. Speaking it the worst possible, she would thus give herself the air of a genuine orofea, as she was accustomed to say.

Although the rice fields could very well give two crops yearly, they are tilled only once.
"In what language do you write?" asked Ibarra after a pause. "In our own, Tagalog." "Are the hieroglyphical signs suitable?" "If it were not for the difficulty of drawing them, which takes time and patience, I would almost say that they are more suitable than the Latin alphabet.
Roldan soon lost standing with his new organization because it was found that he was using for his personal benefit the money which he collected.
