This is a very typical barrio scene back then.
To settle on who gets to wash the dishes for as long as they both shall live, Imelda and Hugo decided on a bet: whoever speaks first will wash their dishes forever. And when the bet began, and their community started to notice the deafening silence, that where things started to complicate.
At one point, the neighbors had to call the herb man, thinking that one or both of them might be possessed by an evil spirit. The herb man, with all his herbs tried to do his thing and applied it to Ka Ugong who did not even bother to move, contrary to Ka Maldang who twisted the herb man's finger when he tried to lay it on Ka Maldang's forehead.
With this, the herb man has decided that the neighbors make a coffin out of bamboos and bury the believed "bewitched" couple alive to avoid further damage to their town.
On the day of the burial, Ka Ugong just went with the flow and stayed still. When it was Ka Maldang's turn to get lifted, she got up on her feet and shouted at these men to get out of their house.
Cheering with joy, Ka Ugong also went out of their house running, screaming in joy how he would never have to wash dishes ever again.
