Pictured are the grandparents, children, and grandchildren except 2 of her siblings who were born later.Escarilla-Carnate says the family speaks English and Tagalog, and the Ilongot dialect called Hiligaynon which has a “melodious” tone compared to Karay-a which is “harsh/harder” in tone.Escarilla-Carnate said, “This photo is significant because family is important and I am very close with siblings and cousins. Every Sunday, we have lunch or dinner with grandparents. These are good memories. Every Sunday after mass, my dad or or grandpa would stop bymarket to buy fresh meat, thin pork chops (no vegetables). Only one piece of liver was delivered on Sundays. There was no supermarket. We used vinegar and chili dip. The menu was always the same every Sunday.” Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this story do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
