Having spent most of her adult life caring for an ailing mother, Miss Mijares is past her youth. She realizes to her disappointment that love and marriage have eluded her. She lives a dull life and behaves with stiffness and aloofness, camouflaging her tiredness and loneliness with ruffled and pastel-colored clothes. When a new carpenter applied at her agency, she is unwittingly drawn to the man. After a confrontation, the two find themselves stranded on an unknown street in the rain, and Miss Mijares allows herself to be led by her feelings for the carpenter and responds to his invitation.

The story's eroticism is heightened by the lyrical, almost cadenced language. (The eroticism is quite explicit for it's time, and the foregrounding of a woman's sexulity is also rather in advance of its time.) But the use of symbolism is a bit too obvious--the paperweight, the dream of being lost, the jeepney's detour, the storm.
Miss Mijares is a dutiful daughter, sacrificing herself, in this case, for a sick mother, and becoming a spinster, a pathetic figure, her sternness of manner and abruptness of speech, disguise for an aching loneliness. Referring to her as "Miss Mijares" underlines her primmness, as well as her distance from the carpenter. She is slim and frail-looking, which contrasts with the carpenter's physical streghth and size.
The carpenter has a certain grace, poise, confidence "walking with an economy of movement, graveful and light, a man who knew his body and used it well", which comes from being easy in his skin, which Miss Mijares, decidedly, is not.
Miss Mijares' over reaction to the discovery that the carpenter has fathered a child by a woman he is not married to reveals the extent of her acquiescence to the system--moral, social, etc. Discovering that he has "feet of clay," she suddenly notices everything else that is wrong with him--his stupid grin, his defective teeth.
In capitulating to her desire and her loneliness, does Miss Mijares triumped over the system in which she is trapped? The language would suggest that this is not so: note the pathos of the final line ("with her ruffles wet and wilted, in the dark, she turned to him...") She remains an absurd, even grotesque figure.
The subversion of the prevailing value system is not complete.

"The Cost Price" by Kerima Polotan is a short story that includes elements such as plot (the husband's decision to trade his wife's happiness for business success), setting (a rural Philippine town), character development (the husband's transformation), and theme (sacrifice for material gain). These elements work together to convey the story's message about the price of ambition.
It is easier to find fault in others and criticize them than it is to do the same to oneself. The main character is unmarried, 34 years old, works at a job placement center, cares for her mother, and is working to put her niece through school. Her condescending attitude towards others keeps her locked in her own world, obliged to help everyone but herself.
The book A House Full of Daughters has a plot set in a small town. It focuses on the struggles of a mother trying to feed and take care of her 7 daughters.

They lack boundaries. According to various theories it was a Cuban plot, a Russian Plot, a CIA plot, a DOD plot, an Alien Plot, a Republican plot, a Vietnamese plot, a Ku Klux Klan plot, a Moon man plot and other scenarios that may be equally absurd.
It is a plot divided into parts,each having its own plot yet contributing to the bigger plot.
The plot is just what happens in the story. You can't have plot going on outside of a story, no.
