The Strict Tita
Field profile
Curfew enforcer, report-card auditor, will directly scold if she catches someone doing anything questionable. Feared and secretly appreciated.
Known behaviors
- Knows your curfew better than you do and enforces it remotely.
- Audits report cards and comments on the one B.
- Threatens, credibly, to report you directly to your mother.
Natural habitat
Stationed by the door at any function, watch on wrist, tracking who arrived with whom and who has not gone home yet.
Signature phrase, on record
“Sasabihin ko 'to sa nanay mo.”
Case notes
She is the family's unelected disciplinarian, and her methods are stern enough that you spent childhood a little afraid of her. Years later you realize the strictness was attention. She kept track because she cared where you were. The fear fades and what remains is the memory of someone who refused to let you drift. Under the scolding, she was quietly, fiercely on your side the whole time.
Engagement protocol, for field use
- 01Arrive before the time she said, not the time the party actually starts.
- 02Report your whereabouts before she asks. Volunteered intel earns trust points.
- 03Understand the audit is attention. The one B mattered to her because you do.
