As a Filipina myself, I thank you for writing a story about us. Are you a Filipina as well, if you mind me asking?
Anyway, I don’t get (understand, rather) what you had written on the story’s description ( the Notice) really. Well, all I can say is, it is okay that the female protagonist has not much of Filipino traits and culture installed in her, apart from being loud that is. 😅 She lived in USA all her life, her mother died when she was just 8 (her mother’s a Filipina, I presume) and her father is an American, I presume, by the color of his skin, I read. It’s understandable that she doesn’t possess the quirky Filipino way of life and humor in everyday of life.
Even I, who lived in the island all my life, has not much of the well-known traits of my fellow countrymen. I don’t like hugs (but my mom’s my opposite), not hospitable (but am slowly learning), I'm timid around anyone, I’m not that fun to be with, expect to talk to a wall or a robot at all times (am not a great conversationalist), I do refuse to look on the eyes, and much more. Well, that’s the downside of being an introvert, I guess.
Is the story already edited or still being edited? The story is already edited in mine observation. You’re story’s great!

The story is a good read.
