" A very notable characteristic of the people here is the aggressiveness displayed by the females, and their evident superiority over the males in business capacity. Whenever a family rises from the lower ranks of society to a position of comparative affluence and social impor- tance, it is usually found to be due to the tact, energy, and close attention of the business member of the matri- monial partnership. " — Governor Piemontel of Ambos Camarines Province (Bicol dialect).
^' The population
... is divided into three social classes. The first is composed of families who on account of their wealth and culture enjoy a leisurely and independent position; the second class is composed for the most part of honest and industrious families possessed of small properties, who are very economical, and although hav- ing but little ambition, are lovers of order and hospi- tality. They are happy on account of having but few necessities, and enjoy a position relatively comfortable. The third class is formed of the poor, who are the farm laborers, servants, fishermen, etc.
