josĂŠ protasio rizal y alonso
hangs out at the coffee shop more than often. majority of his closet is pallets of grey and black. goes home to calamba for the holidays. dates almost everyone who he hits on (or who hits on him). his writing is great but he canât publish his books because heâs hella broke. sleeps at 3 AM, gets up at 6 AM. always falls asleep in the library. low-saturation still nature shots are his aesthetic.
marcelo hilario del pilar y gatmaitĂĄn
takes care of the budget every time the ilustrado barkada goes to enchanted kingdom. actually very insecure about the attention he gets, but he still likes the flattering remarks. goes home to bulacan on the weekends and does the grocery shopping. always competes with rizal in everything, even who can finish showering the fastest. for some reason, it always rains in the area where his apartment is situated.Â
his room looks like a jungle. speaks the fastest and most fluent spanish among his friends. curses in bisayan, laughs the loudest. goes on drinking games with antonio. self-brews his coffee and tops it off with too much whipped cream before he writes.
antonio luna de san pedro y novicio
always wins at every chess game. goes out with his brother juan on weekends to chill. has a high tolerance for alcohol, but always ends up the most drunk. turns into a ten-year-old every time heâs around his mom. is not afraid to call someone out in public if they did any wrong to him or any of his friends/family. nobody can tell who curses more: him or graciano. combat skills are military level. always calls marcelo on the phone to buy orange juice at the supermarket.Â
andrĂŠs bonifacio y de castro
does the laundry on weekdays so he wonât do it on the weekends. big fan of rizalâs works and tries to hang out with him a lot. usually spends his time lying down on his bed, doing nothing. last time he updated his facebook was three weeks ago. phone calls his siblings every weekend to see how theyâre doing. you donât know if he keeps wearing the same shirt, or if his closet is full of shirts that look alike. super friendly and down-to-earth, like he knows everyone in the country. his smirks could kill a man.
gregoria alvarez de jesĂşs
looks best without makeup. what makes her day are the faces of disappointment every time she mentions she has a boyfriend. light brown ombrĂŠ has always looked good on her hair. has the vicious merciless tongue of a serpent. the only times sheâll ever visit andingâs house is if she needs help with her thesis, or if she has absolutely nothing to do and they make out to old philippine indie movies.Â
aiming to graduate summa cum laude, and by the way heâs getting his grades, that goal doesnât sound too far off. wants to grow up to become a lawyer. is actually everybodyâs son. is always the one stealing the chips and junk food. always carries a book (yes, even when heâs asleep). on weekends, he spends the whole day going around and talking with anding. eats nutella out of the jar with a spoon.Â
spends fifteen minutes in the bathroom combing his hair in the morning, washes the dishes every night. doesnât talk a lot and only speaks when necessary. thereâs always this unspoken tension between him and anding, even if theyâre genuinely nice to each other. on some days, theyâre chill. if you canât find him anywhere, heâs probably out with pole.
apolinario mabini y maranan
shares a room with miong because if pole needs something in the middle of the night (like a glass of water or something), miong has to go get it. goyong always releases the breaks of his wheelchair and sends it down a ramp just to fuck with him. always internally facepalms at everything. is always busy or has something to work on, for some reason. the last to wake up and the first to sleep. has five pillows to prevent him from rolling and falling off the bed.Â
gregorio del pilar y sempio
used to be the crush ng bayan in elementary school. still the crush ng bayan now. has the most social media following. updates his instagram every four seconds. looks really hot even with the hair he woke up with. 99% of his shoes are sneakers. there are so many contacts in his phone that he doesnât remember which one is which. thereâs always a new girl every week.
