Belen is seen in her home in Pampanga, Philippines. She is part of the group called ‘Malaya Lolas,’ or ‘Free Grandmothers,’ a group of survivors of mass rape during the second world war.

Belen's home is often the meeting place where the some of the grandmothers play cards together to pass the time.
