[Tonchi]

Luisa can tell some funny stories about fake documents, xob. All of her life she was told by her relatives how stupid and useless she was, nevertheless she managed to graduate from college after paying for it out of her own money. As part of the systematic abuse her aunts practiced on her, she was not even allowed to walk the stage and collect her diploma. When her half-brother was bugging her aunt to get his birth and school documents for a job application, they discovered that he had not even graduated from high school and the last two years of college he did not even attend classes and so he obviously did not graduate. But he collected the "tuition" money from their grandfather regularly, got petted and praised by the aunts, and reported that he was getting excellent grades, had graduated, had lots of offers, etc. Lu already knew that her nephew had not been able to graduate from high school and the aunts had purchased his diploma. It is probably safe to say that MOST applicants for any job, school, visa, or award in the Philippines are using counterfeit documents to support many of their "accomplishments." Luisa does not, everything she has is top of the line and earned by her. In return for that, she is hated and shunned, she does not "fit in", she is not a "team player". She is "dangerous".
