Maria was a bibingkera (seller of bibingka) in a little barrio who had a son called Juan. Everyday Juan was sent to the neighboring barrios to sell bibingkas. For about a month, Juan always came with his empty basket but no money in his pocket. He told his mother the cause of this. He said that his “sukis” were buying the bibingkas on credit. But still the mother could not believe his son. So one day she followed Juan and she found out that Juan never went far but hid behind some bamboo thickets where he usually ate the bibingkas. In payment of this foolishness of Juan, he was given a cavan of whip and to plow the field in punishment.
