School Assignment on "Paglilihi" (Pregnancy Cravings/Impressions)
📌 The teacher assigned an essay on the concept of "paglilihi," which refers to the character traits or qualities a child supposedly acquires based on what the mother craved or experienced during pregnancy.
🧐 Students were instructed to ask their parents about what they were "pinaglihi" (conceived under the impression of) to complete the assignment.
🍞 One student, Chinky, wrote an essay titled "Pinaglihi sa Pandesal" (Conceived under the impression of Pandesal), detailing her family's baking process, which was well-received by the teacher.
🤔 A discussion arose among students about the meaning of being conceived under the impression of a "tomboy" (lesbian/butch woman) and the implications of having two mothers.

Student Discussions and Personal Context
💔 One character, possibly Chinky, struggles with her parentage, questioning if she was conceived under the impression of a "tomboy" because her mother has two maternal figures ("dalawang nanay").
🤨 There is speculation about who Chinky's father is, with one student suggesting it might be "Kuya Leo," who frequently drives her mother around.
🧑‍🍼 In a separate conversation, one person asks their partner if they can be the "mommy" when their future baby arrives, emphasizing that they cannot be the "Daddy" due to their hair, suggesting themes of gender identity or non-traditional parenthood roles.

Family Financial Struggles
😟 A scene shows an interaction where a character, Beng, is being scolded by a vendor/creditor for a long-overdue payment, highlighting significant financial distress, possibly related to a bakery business.
📉 The creditor pressures Beng, suggesting that if she fails to pay, her child will grow up understanding hardship.
🍞 The vendor mentions that the requested "puto" (steamed rice cake) delivery is delayed because the oven is still in use or the product isn't ready, linking back to the bakery theme.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Students must investigate their family history (asking parents) to fulfill the assignment requirements regarding "paglilihi."
➡️ Chinky's essay focused on baking pandesal as her conception influence, emphasizing lessons in patience and gentle handling learned from the process.
➡️ Financial stress and unpaid debts are a current reality for some families depicted, contrasting with the children's innocence.
