      I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about the Tizon story. It was incredible how it made such a bizarre story seem so universal...

      ...but it could have used a dose of self-reflection. Given the dynamics at play his certainty about Lola's mental state was unnerving.

          It could have used several doses of self reflection. I'm also not convinced she ever asked to be called Lola.

          Lola means grandmother in Tagalog. Definitely no way she asked to be called that.

          I'm reminded of reporting in the Philippines. Duterte supporters would tell me he was helping the poor bc their drivers loved him.

          Probably right but the complaint seems somewhat contradictory--it should have been less about Lola, more about the author?

          yes. this, too: "15 minutes in the kitchen reminiscing about the old days in the province, and Lola would seem to forget years of torment."
