I have the chance to watch the gala night at PETA Theater Center in QC and I find it very empowering one, specially from the women who move or control the family's decision. Enriquetta (Gil), a middle-age lady who decides to sell the estate, Charito (Angeli Bayani) adapted by the Jardeleza's and the one who decides everything in the house specially when Enriquetta's family living in Madrid. Also Nina (Anna Luna), the only daughter of Enriquetta who decides for herself and help control the decisions and emotions of her mother and of course LingLing (Divine Grace Aucina), Jardeleza's help for years who decides for herself, to love or not to love hehe..
