[Luneta park]
*props show the year 2049*

Narrator: The human race is near to extinction. After the destruction of the ozone layer,
the ruling countries collapsed; terrorists roamed cities; corruption was caused by our
greed but in an island far from the other countries, there lived the Filipinos.

Isabella: Students? May I have your attention, for a moment? As you all know, today is
Hero’s Day, where we celebrate and acknowledge the bravery of our heroes.
I am really happy that all of you is wearing our national costume. All of you look
Amazing.

*looks at a student*

Alonzo: Why bother celebrating? We’re all about to die anyway…

Isabella: Don’t say that. We should always remember the people who sacrificed their-
lives for our country.
Alonzo: Whatever.
Isabella: Alonzo you have to deal with it because we are already here.

*Phone rings*

Isabella: Maria, can you please watch over the children I just need to answer this call.
Maria: Sure, that’s not a problem Isabella.

*picks up phone*

Isabella: Hello?

Leandro: how are you?

Isabella: fine, it’s just a busy day for the faculty because we and the students are
attending the celebration. How about you?
Leandro: Well since you are a very good teacher to your students I will be giving
you a reward. After the event let’s spend our weekend in Makati Shangri-La I’ll pick
you up after the ceremony. Just call me.
Isabella: You mean you missed me?
Leandro: Well…Fine. I did *sigh* Besides I am always on duty in our anniversaries it’s
time that I should also prioritize you and make time for you.
Isabella: Wait I almost forgot it’s our anniversary, for the 1st time in 8 years that we are
together in our anniversary. Aw…thanks love. I have a surprise too.
Leandro: Really? For me?

*Isabella nods*

Don’t forget to call me Maam Kristine Isabella Marcello Guevarra.

*laughs*
Isabella: Of course First Sergeant Juan Leandro Guevarra *smiles*

Maria: Isabella! The program is about to start hurry!

Isabella: I have to go bye. I love you.

Leandro: Love you too.

*drops call*

Isabella: Thanks Maria

Maria: Your welcome.
Isabella: Class don’t forget to put your right hand on your chest and no unnecessary
movements while singing the national anthem, ok?
Students: Yes teacher!

(Meah: Everyone. The entry of colors)

*Abellana, Batusin, Lubon marches*

*Anthem starts*

(repeat intro)

Isabella: Children run! Faster!

Maria: You’re shot. We’re getting out of here.
Isabella: No. Grab as many children as you can and take them to my safe house. Tell
their parents. Go!
Maria: But…
Isabella: GO!

*Maria saves some of the children*

*children crying*

Chuchay: Ma’am Isabella please help us!

Bebang: Teacher!
Fatima: Help!

*children start to cry and shout*

Isabella: Let them go!

*Livar grabs Isabella*

Livar: What should we do with her?

Khadafi: Take her to the General; he’ll know what to do.

---------------------------------Close curtains <ACT 2>------------------------------

*children are dragged to a cell*

Khadafi: Sir!
General: Sumar, report.

*Isabella screams*

Khadafi: Shut it!

*Slaps Isabella*

Keep quiet! Sir, we've kidnapped students from the ceremony at the park. A
lot of children escaped but we succeded in capturing half and most of them.
General: Good. Make sure to keep them alive and kicking, healthy and full. Never starve
them, give them trainings to keep their muscles awake and strong. Anything else to
add on your report, Sumar?
Khadafi: Sir, yes, sir. This woman, kept on interfering with the mission. We abducted
her to keep her shut. She seems useless, might as well dispose her.
General: Hm... She's a good deal with pretty face. I'll give her the time of her life before
ending it.

*chuckles*

Going back, she's not our concern here. Arstotzka. The people of this country is
dying and has grown weak, sick, and frail. They need donors of organs. The
president gave us this mission since we all don't have any other choice as you all
know. That is to seize at least thousands of Filipinos living. Based on thorough
research, they're very easy to terrorize and this country doesn't have a lot of
firearms and poor security. That'll give us a smooth sailing operation. These race
has healthy bodies which would be the key to our country's bright future. It won't
be a failure.

Khadafi: *nods*Understood, sir.

General: This beautiful healthy lass, chain and lock her up along with the kids. Never
take their handcuffs.
Khadafi: Sir, yes, sir.

*salutes*

--------------------------up stage-------------------------

*Princes, Paolla, Alexa are crying*

*Gabriel plays ‘pogs’*
*Cyrel watches over Danise*
*Jeremy acts as a child with special needs*
*Isabella wakes up*

Bebang: Hey guys... Teacher has regained her consciousness!

*Children run to her*

Fatima: Is she alright?

Bebang: I think so? Teacher?
Isabella: Fatima? Bebang?
Klara: Maam Isabella!
Chuchay: Maam Isabella!

*hugs Isabella*

Isabella: Klara!Ana!

*steps back and stops hugging*

Klara: Teacher, we were so worried and thought you're hurt badly! Thank you for
trying to save us from the bad guys...
Bebang: Yeah, that was so cool, teacher! You looked like Darna, the one who ate a stone
then your superpowers will go boom! and pak! boom! boom! boom!

*Bebang actions out her words*

*Isabella laughs*

Isabella: Now that's cute and silly. That made me smile gikusi sa cheeks si Rosell I am
not Darna nor a hero, I don't have superpowers, that's just silly. I'm just an
ordinary teacher. *chuckles* But, I'm going to do everything I can to keep you all
safe, that's a promise... I can't show you how scared I am right now. I need to be
 strong for you... I am angry, they put the lives of many innocents at risk and peril.
Sad because we get to suffer such barbaric experience.
Bebang: Hm... Teacher, you're right but Darna was also an ordinary girl. Since she has
a kind heart, she was given a magic stone that gives her extraordinary power to
save lives and help people. Do you want to eat a stone? Hehe, wait let me find one.

*Finds a stone and picks it up*

*holds up the stone for everyone to see*

Bebang: Oh here! try this!

Isabella: Bebang I-..
Alonzo: You really think she will save us? tsk!
Klara: What do you mean Alonzo?
Alonzo: WE, are bad students. Can't you tell? Andres and I tend to interrupt her
discussion, you and Bebang always get low scores! Ana and Fatima are always
sleeping in class. THAT was the reason why she saved the others, not us.
Isabella: Alonzo. That's not true. I'm willing to put my life in the line just to save you...
I'll get you out of here-
Alonzo: I heard what you said to teacher Maria! You told her to save the good students
and I'm not one of those! So she didn't take us with her!
Isabella: Alonzo, no... You are all a good students...
Alonoz: Liar!
Fatima: Alonzo, stop! You are hurting teacher Isabella's feelings! Its ok teacher, we love
and understand you.
Alonzo: Count me out.

Livar: Hey! Tone it down! Here.*throws a tray full of food at them* Eat! Make sure to
finish all that
Isabella: Mister, please let the children go... I beg you. Lock me here instead!
Livar: What? Are you out of your mind? *laughs* Those kids are our priority here.
They mean a lot, not you.
Isabella: Mister, please. Have mercy on these poor innocent kids!
Livar: Hold your tongue, woman! Don't wait 'till I no longer have patience to keep up
with your whining or you'll meet your demise!

*Isabella starts crying*

Klara: Teacher Isabella?

Isabella: *wipes her tears* Yes, child?
Klara: Is it true? You told Ma'am Maria to save others and not us because we are a
bad students and not important to you?
Isabella: Klara, no. I see and love you all as my own children. Fret not, I promise to keep
you safe and sound, even if it means my life.
Klara: Teacher, don't say such word. We'll get out of here as soon as possible.
Isabella: I hope we'll be the last victim.

General: Livar!
Livar: Sir. *salutes*
General: Take three children to the lab with you, get the organs needed and transport
the goods to Arstotzka.
Livar: Copy, sir! *salutes*

*Livar and Khadafi grabs Gabriel, Raymond, and Jeremy*

*Isabella and the remaining kids try to get them back*

Isabella: Hey, get your hands off them! Why and where are you taking them? Let them
go!
Khadafi: You! Stop getting on our way! You're coming with us...*smirks*

*terrorists drag the children and Isabella to their General*

General: Very good take them to the laboratory.
Isabella: You ugly beast let him go.

Khadafi: I told you to be quiet! Sir, I had enough of this nosy wench! She's always
defiant and kept on getting on our way. Can I have the permission to eliminate her
since she is not of any use in this operation, sir?
Alonzo: Let go of me! Why am I held captive? Release me at once then I'll tell you the
secret!
General: Hm... A secret? Livar, untie him. Spill, kid.
Alonzo: Teacher Isabella has a safe house. She's kept numbers of students hidden
there.
General: Is that true?

*General grabs Isabella’s chin*

Isabella: You heartless beasts! Go to hell!

General: Tell me where the safe house is!
Isabella: Why would I? *smirks*
General: Ha... You are one stern and rebellious lady. I like the audacity... You like to
play games? Be my guest...

*tortures Isabella*

Khadafi: Sir, I think that's enough. You might kill her; we still need her since she's the
only one who knows where the safe house is located.
General: *frustrated* Lock them up again!

Narrator: Days had passed, Isabella and her students remained hidden and captivated in
the basement of the warehouse. Scared, hurt and in despair, the kids could only
cry silently while putting their trust on their teacher. Meanwhile, Isabella, showed
courage and no fear to give the children hope. To ease the trauma, the kids are
facing, she told them stories about their heroes' bravery and valiancy. She taught
them this one song to keep their hopes high up.

*Isabella sings a song*

Chuchay: Teacher, thank you for staying by our side...

Isabella: It is my duty to protect our future. You, children.
Bebang: You have done a lot for us. I hop-
Livar: Hey, lady! Get up!

*gikuha si Danise*

Kids: Don't touch our teacher! Teacher Isabella!

Isabella: Where are you taking me?

Khadafi: Stop asking questions. Just follow me.

*children start crying again*

*Isabella smiles sadly*

Isabella: Shh... I'll be back. Don't worry. Once I get back, I'll tell you more interesting
stories, okay? Promise me not to cry.
Children: *nods* promise.
Chuchay: pinky swear! *raises a pinky to Isabella*

Isabella: pinky swear. *tries to interlock her pinky with Chuchay’s but was held back by
Livar and Khadafi*

*Livar and Khadafi drag Isabella to the General*

*Livar and Khadafi salutes*
*General nods*
*Livar and Khadafi then ties Isabella to a chair*

General: Dismiss.
Khadafi: Sir, yes, sir.
Livar: Sir, yes, sir.

*both salutes and exits*

General: Ah, the great Isabella is here!

Isabella: What now?
General: Tell me where the safe house is.
Isabella: That will never happened.
General: Where... Is it?
Isabella: Go find it yourself. What's the use of your eyes? Loser...

*General slaps Isabella and pulls her hair*

General: Don't try me, woman. I'm asking you again, where?
Isabella: You'll never know if you won't find i-

*General punches Isabella in the stomach*

Ivan: That felt good, yeah?

*Isabella clutches her stomach*

*Isabella lays speechless from the pain*
*torture from the General continues*

Isabella: G-go ahead... Even if you have to k-kill me now... You won't ever hear the
answer you want from me, sucker.
General: That's it! You like playing with me, huh? Here's the real game... I'm gonna
make you enjoy the night. *laughs*

*the General grabs Isabella by the leg and drags her to his quarters*
*they both exit*

Isabella: N-no... L-et go! Ah!

General: C'mon, this is going to be fun...

*Isabella screams*
*Isabella hit a table and a picture frame fell from it*
*Khadafi knocks*

Khadafi: Sir? Permission to- Sir? He's not here? *enters and walks around the
room*Whe-*steps on the picture frame*

*Khadafi picks up the frame*

Khadafi: This... Isn't this that noisy and annoying woman? Who's this guy? Kristine
Isabella Marcello Guevarra and Juan Leandro Guevarra…

*Khalid knocks and enters*

Khalid: Khadafi, what are you doing here? You're looking for the general too? What is
that?
Khadafi: A picture obviously.
Khalid: Dude, I know. wait... That guy... He's from that military!
Khadafi: You know him?
Khalid: Personally? No. But he's the talk of the ladies in our military since he's one of
the high ranking men in military here well he’s "handsome" and so... pft... I don't
see that though.
Khadafi: I don't care about that. But this is an important information...

*both look at each other*

Khadafi: Are we thinking the same?
Khalid: Uhm... You're going to introduce the ladies in our military to him? *Scratches
head*
Khadafi: Stupid *hits Khalid* We can blackmail this guy since we have her girlfriend,
fling, wife whatever.
Khalid: Oooooh, you smart!
Khadafi: No, you're just stupid.*sighs*
Khalid: Bro what-

*Khadafi exits first and Khalid follows*

---------------------------Close curtains <ACT 3>----------------------------

*Leandro knocks*

Leandro: Sir. *salutes*

*Leandro enters while carrying some files*

*Leandro sits*

Aravida: Guevarra, report.

Leandro: *lowers hand* sir, I’m afraid that for the last week, we have no lead of where
the captives are. We alarmed the people about the sudden raids. We are now
coordinating with DepEd to cancel all classes in Luzon because the children are
the target.
Aravida: *nods* continue...
Leandro: We placed our teams in all transportation stations to supervise the public.
Aravida: What about the terrorist group?
Leandro: Sadly, we have no further data about these groups. But we do know that they
target our children and keep them as captives. I already sent a team to extract
more information regarding the problem. Sir.

*San Jose knocks*

*extra person opens door*

San Jose: Sir! *salutes*

Aravida: Carry on.

*San Jose enters and takes a seat beside Leandro*

San Jose: Sir the terrorist sent us a video. It says that they want us to give them at least
1000 children.
Aravida: And why would we do that?
San Jose: Sir, because they threatened to kill every child they took from our country at
their disposal...including your sister, sir.

*tensional silence*

Aravida: Sergeant San Jose, play the video.

San Jose: Sir yes sir

*plays the video*

Andres: We can’t bargain a thousand innocent lives in exchange for only about
hundreds of children.
Aravida: You think I’d want to do that?
Andres: We have the upper hand here. Let’s sacrifice a few lives to protect others. If
not, a trap massacre will happen.
Leandro: No! *stands and slams the table*

*all heads turn to Leandro*

Leandro: You can’t possibly leave them behind. They’re just children! How could you
even—
Aravida: First Sergeant Juan Leandro Guevarra; remember your place, soldier. Don’t let
your emotions get ahead of you.
Leandro: Don’t you understand? My wife is in there! You wouldn’t know how it would
feel because your wife is safe and sound.
Aravida: First Sergeant Guevarra I said don’t let your emotions get ahead of you.

*Leandro decides to back down and sits*

Aravida: Maybe you forgot that Isabella is my sister.

Leandro: I didn’t say that—
Aravida: Good, I thought so. We are all worried about the victims. Master Sergeant
Andres is right. We can’t bargain a thousand lives but we can’t also leave the other
captives behind. *looks at San Jose* Sergeant San Jose, I want you to trace that
video. Where it’s from and who sent it, I want to know as soon as possible. Copy?
San Jose: Sir yes sir.
Aravida: This meeting is adjourned.

*all stands and salutes*

*Andres and San Jose take their leave along with others*
*Leandro fixes his files and starts to leave*

Aravida: *typing*Don’t even think about it.

*Leandro halts and half turns*

Leandro: about what?

Aravida: Doing something stupid of course. *closes laptop*
Leandro: *fully turns to Aravida*I would never.
Aravida: Save it, Leandro. I know that you were planning to find the terrorist camp and
go there all by yourself.
Leandro: *sighs* I just want Isabella to be safe.
Aravida: I know you’re worried about Isabella, but she’s my sister. I know she’ll be fine.
Maybe she doesn’t know how to fight but she is strong. She’s not a quitter.
Leandro: We can’t just wait around here for something to happen.
Aravida: I know but—

*Reyes knocks and salutes*

Reyes: Sir.
Aravida: *signals him to carry on* speak
Reyes: We received a voice message from an unknown source.
Leandro: *analyzed the situation* proceed.
Reyes: The message is for you, First Sergeant Guevarra
Leandro: *looks at Aravida in confusion* Let’s hear the message.

{Voice Message:
Ivan: First Sergeant Juan Leandro Guevarra, how are you? I really hope that I get the
pleasure in meeting you tonight. I want to talk to you, well not just me but your wife
Isabella surely does, I hope that you would accept my invitation.}
Jan: Guevarra don’t do it

{Voice Message:
Ivan: Go to the ____________________ at 8’0 clock tonight. Bring—
Danise: Leandro, No! Don’t listen to him!*Ivan slaps Danise*
Ivan: As I was saying…Bring no one with you. Be unarmed; if you refuse, the
children and your beloved wife*laughs* *kid screams in background w/ gunshot (Fatima)*
*end of vm*}

*silence*
*Aravida looks at Leandro*

Aravida: Don’t.
Leandro: You can’t stop me *starts to walk out*
Aravida: First Sergeant Leandro Guevarra, that’s an order.

*Leandro stops in his tracks*

*walks in front of Leandro*

Aravida: Suspension for one week.

Leandro: What? You can’t do that.
Aravida: Unfortunately, I can.
Leandro: Do whatever you want. *takes of badge* sir. *salutes*

*Leandro exits*

---------------------------------Close curtains <ACT 4>------------------------------

Leandro: Bella! Where are you? Please answer me! Bella!

*Khadafi shoots Leandro in his left arm*

Khadafi: You’re such a hard headed dude. *points gun at him* You should give up
already.

*Leandro hits and disarms Khadafi and takes his gun*

*Leandro points his gun at Khadafi*
*Khalid hits Leandro and disarms him*
*Khalid and Khadafi hits Leandro until he’s lost consciousness*
*Khalid and Khadafi drags Leandro to the General*

Khadafi: Sir.*salutes*
General: What is that? *points Isabella* I’m not still done with you.
Khadafi: We have something for you, sir. *drops Leandro in front of General*
General: Why are you bringing someone else in here? I already told you abduct children
only.
Khadafi: But, sir, it’s him.
General: Oh really? Good job. Blindfold him.
Khadafi: Yes, sir!

Aravida: San Jose, any news about the voice message?

*San Jose stands*

San Jose: Sir. *salutes* As for now there’s not even one clue about the voice message. We
are still working on it.
Aravida: *sighs* please make sure to find something useful.
San Jose: Yes sir.
Aravida: ok, proceed.

*San Jose sits and continues to work

*Reyes salutes in greeting*

Reyes: Sir.
Aravida: what is it?
Reyes: Sir, there are some reports regarding First Sergeant Gueverra.
Aravida: what reports?
Reyes: There are some sightings of him with our foe.
Aravida: What? He went there without any back-ups? Or any weapon to protect himself?
Reyes: As far as we know sir, he didn’t bring any.
Aravida: I already told him not to go there. It’s too dangerous. We still don’t know how
potent they are. You.
Reyes: Yes, sir.
Aravida: Check every camera in that location and locate where he is now. Make it fast.
Reyes: Yes, sir.

*Isabella looks at Leandro (beaten and tied to a chair) *

Isabella: Leandro?

*General enters*

General: I’m back. Did you miss me?

*Isabella remains silent*

General: Oh, by the way I have a gift for you. It’s very special, want to see?
Isabella: I will never accept anything from you, you monster. Set us free!

*General slaps Isabella*

General: I’m being generous here and you reject my gift for you, what a shame.
Isabella: Wh-what do you mean?
General: I did tell you that I have a gift for you.

*Isabella looks at Leandro*

General: Oh, him? He’s part of the offer I’m giving you. Now listen closely.

*The General’s men drag all the children they captured on stage*
*Children start screaming*

General: Hush little ones. Since I’m kind enough, you’re going to choose one.
Isabella: *confused*
General: *points gun at Leandro*The love of your life? *points gun at children*

*children scream*

General: Or the lives of innocent children?

Isabella: You wouldn’t—
General: Oh, I would and to confirm the case*cocks the gun and shoots Mon-mon*

*children scream in terror*

Isabella: No, please. Just stop. *starts to sob*

General: *puts gun in between his lips* Shh.
Isabella: Please…
General: There is another way. That could save the children *walks around and grabs
Leandro’s face* and this piece of garbage.
Leandro: Darn you.
General: Feisty, are you?
Isabella: What other way is there?
General: Well, you could tell me where the safe house is.
Isabella: But—
Leandro: No, Bella. Those lives are more important than ours.
General: What about these children, aren’t their lives important as well? *laughs* So
what will it be, Isabella Guevarra?
Isabella: I-I—
Leandro: Bella, don’t. Don’t say another word—
General: Will you shut up?
Isabella: *looks at Leandro*I’m sorry. The safe house, it’s in _______________________
General: Good girl. *nears Leandro* You should learn from your wife. At least she
knows how to obey.
Isabella: I’m sorry. *repeats apologizing silently*
General: Isabella, no need for tears. You did do the right thing.
Isabella: The children.
General: Yes?
Isabella: Set them free. The children and Leandro.
General: Oh, I wouldn’t do that.
Isabella: What?
Leandro: You, son of a—
Isabella: Y-you said. You said you could save them.
General: I said I could, but it doesn’t mean that I should or that I want to. Besides my
business here is over. There’s just one little thing I have to do *cocks gun and aims
at Leandro*
Isabella: No!

----------BOOM----------

General: What’s that?

Khadafi: Sir *salutes*
General: What? What was that sound?
Khadafi: Sir, the militaries are here.
General: What? *looks at Leandro*Now you really make me angry. *punches Leandro*

----------BOOM----------
Khadafi: Sir we should escape first, it’s too dangerous right now.
General: Bring them.
Khadafi: Yes sir. Khalid help me.
Khalid: *nods*

*General and his men exits taking Klara and Alonzo with them*

*Leandro carries Mon-mon*
*Isabella starts to run back to where the General is*

Leandro: where are you going? It’s too dangerous.

Isabella: Alonzo and Klara are still there. I can’t leave them alone. They have families
waiting for them.
Leandro: But… what about me? You also have a family and me to come back to.
Isabella: *touches Leandro’s cheek* Don’t worry I’ll come back for sure. For now, keep
those kids safe, ok?
Leandro: Sure, but please come back safe.

*Isabella nods and exits*

*Bebang tugs on Leandro’s sleeve*

Bebang: Mister? *salutes awkwardly* I mean, sir! Where is miss Isabella going? Will

Leandro: Of course, she’s the bravest woman I know. Don’t worry she’ll save your
friends.
Bebang: *looks at her friends* I told you miss Isabella is a superhero hihihi.

Leandro: Isabella, stop. Go save yourself and the children
Isabella: I can’t leave you behind
Leandro: You have to.

Leandro: funny to think that I’d be a father. *laughs bitterly*
Isabella: But, you are…
Leandro: I-I’m a father?

*Aravida faces both coffins*

*Aravida nears Leandro’s coffin*

Aravida: I guess this is where your path ends…It’s been an honor serving with you,
Sergeant. *takes Leandro’s badge and places it on his coffin*

Aravida: You’ve always been the brave one. Braver than me, even *laughs bitterly*

*soldier arrives*
*soldier salutes*

Soldier: General? Another life was taken alongside your sister’s

Aravida: Who’s?
Soldier: Your sister was pregnant even before the kidnap. My deepest condolences.

*Aravida nods*
*Soldier exits*
*Aravida covers both coffins*

Alonzo: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. About a month ago we celebrated our
Buwan ng Wika and now we celebrate the day where our courage was tested. After
35 years of freedom from the massacre that had happened, we had named this day
as Guevarra’s Day to acknowledge and give praise to the couple, Juan Leandro
Guevarra and Isabella Marcello Guevarra, who sacrificed their lives for the lives of
the children of our country. I am standing before you, as a victim and survivor of the
said massacre. I am very honored for knowing our saviors for a short time being. If it
wasn’t for her and her husband’s bravery, then our country would have been in
shackles. To all the soldiers who gave their lives in exchange for our freedom, we are
humbly grateful. For every day that passes, we thank you. Happy Guevarra’s Day,
everyone.
