Leonor Pantoja is Captain Pantoja's mother. Ever loyal to her beloved son, Leonor believes he can do no wrong. At one point, Pocha tells her sister that Leonor "treats her son as if he's still a baby and a little saint" (Chapter 3, p. 53). Like Pocha, her daughter-in-law, Leonor makes the most of Panta's esteemed position as an Army officer. Leonor is good-natured, if a trifle myopic when it comes to Panta.
