For the fifth part of our Philippine Gothic series, here is an animated GIF treat you can share, Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo's masterpiece La Barca de Aqueronte (The Boat of Charon), with an immortal quote by the great Russian novelist and philosopher Fyodor Dostoyevsky,
“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
