Maguindanao Pearls

The theme of the Maguindanao Pearls for me is love.  Lakambini lied because of love. Even someone can be harm because of her love for Magiting. She lied for the sake that Magiting will not be marrying Sinag-tala. We know that's wrong, but they say that if you love someone you will do or give up everything just to be with him/her. And also, if you love someone you will do the things that you've never done in your life. But in the end, Lakambini tell the truth and apologize to Sinag-tala.
