Isang maikling
background ng isang manunulat tungkol kay Magsie Pena ang sumusunod: May mababasa pa rin sa link na ito.
“But the truth is, I
have borne witness to a great injustice that tries to be a smaller replica of
the days when Marcos was in power over the whole Philippines. I'm talking about
an age of an iron hand rule and a clear intent to remain power using whatever means
possible… Since I was in fifth grade, I have considered that place to be a very
peaceful and lively place to be in. However, things changed since the day that
this man was elected to the mayoralty through illicit means: Mayor Magdaleno
Peña, the same guy who had been embroiled in a wife beating issue with Plinky
Recto years ago.
Mr. Peña has shown all along that he will rule things through an iron hand. Personal life and marital matters don't make a difference. Since he has succeeded in his decades-long desire to become mayor of Pulupandan, Mr. Peña has changed the environment of Pulupandan. No longer is it the same peaceful yet lively municipality that I have been to since my childhood, but its environment is more or less the same as the one that my grandparents and parents must have endured during Martial Law from 1972-1986.”

Kayat sa simula ay tila hiyang
at nakahiligan na ni Regina ang daigdig ng karahasan. Nagkahiwalay
rin ang dalawa at sumibat papuntang Amerika si babae dala ang isang matinding personal
na lihim na alam niyang matatapos sa isang kagimbal-gimbal na katapusan kapag
nalaman ng kaniyang asawa. Si Regina R. Pena, pangalang gamit niya noon, na bagong salta sa
Amerika ay kailangang lumikha ng panibagong katauhan. Sa madaling salita upang
siya ay magtagal sa U.S. ay kailangang makakuha siya ng green card o permanent
residence.
