    How my brother Leon brought home a wife was written by a Ilokano writer Manuel Estabillo Arguilla. He was born on June 17, 1911 and died on August 30, 1944. He was born in barrio Nagrebcan, Bauang, La Union. His hometown are present in his story entitled "How my brother Leon brought home a wife".
     The story is all about Leon who returning to his hometown, Nagrebcan together with his wife Maria. Maria is a beautiful city girl. She was born and grow with a city life. Maria has a good smell and she is very lovely that's why Baldo, the younger brother of Leon are amazed how lovely she is. Leon is the husband of Maria and Leon has a pet named Labang.
    The story emphasizes the life in the city in the life in the rural. It showcase different filipino culture. It show that or it show how proud the author is to his hometown by stating how beautiful his hometown is. The air, sound and peaceful and simple life of the province that show that beauty really exist in Nagrebcan. For me, it will remind us that we, Filipino's must be proud and appreciate the beauty of our own province. Province who complete and build us.
Leon's wife Maria symbolizes a woman who are willing to sacrifice in the name of love. She's willing to face Leon's family without any doubt which show love and respect to the family of her husband. It show how much Maria love Leon because she is willing to give up her city life and move to Province just to be with Leon and also to prove that she can appreciate the life in the Province.
   This story will remind us that there's no wrong in sacrificing. Sacrificing that shows real love. Social status is not a hindrance if you really love someone. The story emphasize that we have a lot of Filipino who are blessed to have a amazing skills in writing. We must be proud of them.
