FILE #009

Subject designation

The Diplomat Tita

Field profile

Hears all the tea and repeats none of it. A vault. Deeply respected at every reunion.

Known behaviors

  • Absorbs every secret and leaks precisely nothing.
  • Answers loaded questions with 'wala akong alam diyan ha.'
  • Gets picked, every time, to mediate the inheritance discussion.

Natural habitat

The eye of every family storm, seated calmly between two warring factions, holding a plate she is not eating from.

Signature phrase, on record

“Wala akong alam diyan ha.”

Case notes

Where the Marites gathers intelligence to spend it, the Diplomat gathers it to bury it. That discretion is why she is trusted with the things that could actually blow the family apart. She has heard everything and will confirm nothing. If she ever does volunteer information, sit up straight, because it means the situation is genuinely serious and she has decided you need to know.

Engagement protocol, for field use

  1. 01Do not press for details. The vault does not open, and asking twice gets you filed.
  2. 02Tell her the real story. It is safer in her custody than in your own drafts folder.
  3. 03If she volunteers information unprompted, stop everything. It has never not been serious.
