Doña Consolación is the pugnacious wife of The Ensign, Doña Consolación is an older Filipina woman who is ashamed of her heritage and pretends to be unable to speak Tagalog, her own native language. She fights with her husband frequently and makes many of her husband's decisions for him. Despite being described as very ugly, she is proud and demands respect from others.

La Doctora Victorina de los Reyes de Espadaña is a brazen and determined Filipina social climber, Doña Victorina is the spouse of the counterfeit doctor, Tiburcio de Espadaña. She is well past her prime and relies on garish make-up to carry on a façade of youth. She eagerly tries to marry off her nephew to María Clara, likely as a means to further advance her social status.
