- the goal to obtain one’s trust most especially when you want your parents to have a permission to marry your chosen loved one. Filipino parents are very hard to impress. It is hard to get their trust as well. But what Maria did in the test that the father of Baldo and Leon gave to her proved that she really deserved and love Leon. She will sacrifice anything to be happy and be with her only love.
