"This story happened a long time ago, when our country was being ruled by the Spaniards. Rosang Taba works as a servant in the home of the Governor-General and his wife Carmen. One afternoon, Rosa gathers enough courage to challenge the commander of the Spanish forces, Jaime Villareal, to a race after hearing him say the Filipinos-or indios- "are lazy, boorish, unorganized have no courage, no morals, no civilization." Find out in the story how Rosang Taba gained her and her family's freedom as a result of the outcome of the race, and, more importantly, what values prompted her to instigate the race."--Cover.See more
