, including any notable themes or messages that Aida Rivera Ford explores. Aside from "The Chieftest Mourner," Aida Rivera Ford has written numerous other works, some of which explore themes of love,

1. "Bridge to the Morrow": While specific details about this work are less readily available, it involves themes of connection and progression, possibly exploring ideas of cultural or generational transitions based on given or sought out pathways. 2. "Love in the Cornhusks": This short story revolves around Tinang, a former Hacienda maiden who left her hometown to join her husband in the city. When she returns to her hometown to attend her former master's daughter’s wedding, she also receives a letter from her first love, Amado, thus stirring up her old feelings and leaving her torn between her past and present. 3. "Heroes in Love: Four Plays": As the title suggests, these are four one-act plays. They explore the theme of love, possibly in different forms and settings, and the intricacies involved when heroes, either metaphorically or literally, fall in love. Specific details about these plays are seemingly hard to come by. 4. "Oyanguren: The forgotten founder of Davao": A historical work, this tells the story of conquistador Don Jose Cruz de Oyanguren, who, in the mid-19th century, attempted to establish a Spanish presence in the Davao region of the Philippines, inhabited predominantly by Moro Muslim people. This work is Ford's attempt to shine a light on this lesser-known piece of Philippine history.
