--- BARASOAIN CHURCH
JACK: "We certainly have luck rubbed into us. Remember that procession in Mission Street and the inauguration ritual in Chinatown?"
OYET: "Ang cute ng mga flower girl!"
ABET: "Pityuran ko kayo mamaya para may souvenir."
[Oyet disappears, Jack admires the colors of the wedding retinue, Abet look around for the best view].
OYET: (Rushing and extremely excited) "Halikayo! Dali!"
[Jack and Abet followed up the choir loft through the unlocked barricade of the bell tower to the claustrophobic winding stone stairs].
OYET: (Squeezing on a tower hole after reaching a dead end) "Kuhanan mo ako ng pityur!"
ABET: "Okey pero silhouette ka lang dahil wala akong flash at against-the-light."
[Jack disappears].
[All three in the churchyard now and puffing on charcoal-filtered Mild Sevens].
OYET: "There's an African Christ, an Indian Christ, etcetera, but I have yet to see a Filipino Christ."
JACK: "Is that the Virgin Mary?"
ABET: "The legislation of the RH bill is a watershed."
[Another round of Mild Sevens is lighted].
JACK: "Why is she surrounded by these vagina representations?"
[Abet and Oyet looks at the seashells, agrees, and wonders why too].
--- A DAY LATER
In a place called Old 37 along Bonifacio Street...
...over beer, crispy kare-kare, kinilaw, pansit, sisig, patatim, adobong kambing, and butter-fried chicken...
...the faithful gathered and paid their respects.
