But then he's ready to risk it all- Death, destruction, any downfall. He goes home to whence he hails- He was born in South Wales.3 He lives there for one whole year. More than one has told me or spoken, And I've found it also written About the Queen and Sir Tristram, Their love so true, so pure, from Which their sorrows multiplied- Then, in a single day, both died.2 King Mark was angry and then some- Angry at his nephew Tristram He banished him beyond his border Because of the Queen, for he loved her. It's my pleasure and I want truly For the lai men call Chevrefoil1 (Honeysuckle), the truth to tell: Why it was made, how it all befell. Both sides behave abominably, and civillians do get caught in the crossfire (or explosions). She is part of a cycle of killing that makes any peaceful resolution of the insurgency in the Philippines so difficult to achieve. This backstory does not justify what Ramona does for the remainder of her screentime, but it does show why she has absolutely no sympathy or mercy to give to anyone outside of her two children. The Armed Forces of the Philippines does not have a shining record when it comes to its treatment of women dissidents and prisoners. And yes in this context, it can also mean rape. It is also implied earlier in the season that it was not just murder involved, but that Ramona had also been a "prize" given to the soldiers who captured her. Ramona, the mother of Crispin and Basilio, is an armed insurgent who engages in a ritual to avenge herself on the military men who forced her to murder her own comrades. It is interesting that Nova is introduced here almost as a juxtaposition to another mother, Ramona. Questions of "bodily autonomy" are not first and foremost in the mind of many women who do the worst to their newborns the question is food on the table for the next day or the day after. Maternity leave is only up to 120 days here in most cases, and there are few resources to support mothers with PPD, mothers abandoned by their partners, or those with just too many mouths to feed. These happen because of desperation, poverty, and lack of resources to support mothers. There have been exposes about mothers who have sold off their infants to "adopters" willing to pay thousands of pesos or dollars for an under the table transfer of custody. Every month one can expect to read a story or two of babies being tossed in the trash or left in bathrooms-and those are just the stories that make it to the press. That being said, most Filipinos regardless of where they stand on the abortion issue will still consider the abandonment or murder of an infant to be beyond the pale. He wasn’t talking to her, but her company had always been something he craved, even if it was simply her being silent on the other end of the phone. Though he wasn’t going to admit it, as angry as he was with Liv, having her there was a relief, even if he had taken her from her apartment so early and kept her from going into work. “You’re staying through tomorrow at least, right? If you want, we can grab some dinner somewhere on the way back home.” Still agitated, Fitz ignored Olivia and focused his attention on Ryan. He got back up on his own horse and gave it a swift kick to the sides, catching up with Ryan up ahead of him. Grabbing Olivia’s foot roughly again, he lifted her high up on the back of the horse then snatched a helmet from the fence and handed it up to her. “Get on the damn horse-” he said to her, trying to keep his voice down though it was certainly loud enough for Ryan to overhear or at least know he was upset. “You doing okay, baby girl?” he called over to Ryan while he waited on Olivia to enter the gate. Whether or not she actually went, he wasn’t sure, but this was a test.įitz turned away again and continued down to the arena taking the horse inside it where his was tied up. One thing Fitz had done back in California was get Ryan involved in horse riding lessons as well as paying for them at her boarding school. Inside the arena was a few sets of hurdles to jump and cones for exercising. Once she was up, he climbed up on his own horse and rode around to the arena gate. “Alright, let’s see if you remember how to do this,” he said to Ryan, offering to help her lift up on the English saddle by holding to her riding boot. Fitz took the liberty of also saddling up a third horse but left it in a stall for Olivia once she got there. Fitz took Ryan down to the stables to saddle up their horses while Tom ran on his errand back in the city. And grab her a pair of riding boots and pants from somewhere… I doubt she has any.” Tom gave a slightly confused nod, running over in his mind how he was going to kidnap Olivia Pope from her at 5 o’ clock in the morning. The car came to a stop once they arrived at the stables and when Ryan climbed out, Fitz turned back to his two agents.
