Short Stories
Ang Pinakahuling Kwento ni Huli by Lilia Quindoza Santiago
 This story is about the life of Huli after she survived the sexual exploitation from Padre

Camorra. After jumping out of the dormitory window, she dwelled around in search for
food and shelter. As she was roaming around, she happened to pass by a group of men
who were drinking. These men then raped her, leaving her an emotional trauma she
would carry on for life. She had the chance to seek help from an investigator but
unfortunately, she was also raped by the investigator. She later on met Tinyong who took
her in. Thinking that this man is a good hearted person, she went with him only to
experience sexual exploitation again but Huli survived after she managed to kill Tinyong
in fear for her life. After a long time of suffering, her sanity escaped her consciousness and
was sent to the mental hospital. The story of how she came to be a bum and how she lost
sanity became the talk of town.
