Sheine-Mae, second from youngest daughter of the Madilosa's busy texting her school friends in the doorway to the kitchen of their bamboo house, ("bahay kawayan.") Even the daughters of poor farmers in the Philippines have their own cellphones... Especially if they are lucky enough to have an elder sister who has managed to work as an entertainer , ("Japayoke,") in Japan!!
The Madilosa's are a family of tenant farmers, ("magsasaka,") who till a few rice fields in Davao Del Sur, in the Southern Island of Mindanao, Philippines
