That is true. Para nako dili dapat magregret si Manoy...
In fact from moralist's point of view. Immoral ang gihimo ni Manoy eh, he lured a poor young girl from the barrio in exchange for sex and taking care of him. He used his money to exploit the vulnerabilites of this young woman, whose only dream is to get out of poverty and maybe to help her family.
Di pud tingali lalim ang kalisod sa sitwasyon sa baje kay siyempre naay maghunahuna nga kwarta ray ijang giapas (which is very probably true and which we commonly perceive to be as reprehensible as the old man's intentions). Dili kalikayan nga gihimo sijang kataw-anan sa ijang peers (out of envy perhaps, or just plain deviltry). In this equation, I would expect the older spouse to possess the greater capacity to withstand the pain that their lopsided relationship is sure to unleash upon them.
