Set in old Manila, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino revolves around two spinster sisters, Paula and Candida Marasigan, who fight for all the things precious to their family. This play has gone on to be adapted as a major motion picture.
In Tatarin, Doña Lupe stands firm on her ideas on feminism. She joins the three-day fertility ritual where women wildly dance around the balite tree, giving her the perfect opportunity to boldly demand respect and admiration from her husband, Don Paeng.
In Fathers and Sons, Bessie fights back against the shadows cast by her past as an abandoned child sold and bought into the life of prostitution.
The Beatas illustrates modern views and actions of Antonia Ezguerra and Sebastiana de Santa Maria, along with their fellow beatas, as they stand their ground despite the challenge from the patriarchy of the Holy Church to shut down the first beaterio in Manila"-- Back cover. 0aPhilippine drama (English).  aDrama.  2ddcn0cBKe23h899.2102iJ574tkFICm2018  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcFICd2026-09-30l0oFIC J574t 2018p032458r2026-10-03 09:21:10t1-1w2026-09-30yBK  c33616d33616
