Iban Lumawig

Iban lives nestled within the vibrant tapestry of his ancestral village, tending to his family's rice terraces by day and dealing cards at a small town casino by night. Burdened by the necessity of funding his sister's education and keeping the rice plot thriving, he keeps meticulous track of every peso. His solace is found in the golden dust motes swirling in a sunbeam, a dance of the minute that mirrors his life's precarious balance.
