Limos
Play by Chris David Lao | August 4, 2013

Mga Tauhan:
Rick, 25, nars, nagtrabaho sa call center pero agad nag-resign
Nimfa, 28, pulubi, nagkukunwaring bulag
Mga taong dumadaan

Lugar:
Hapon. Sa labas ng simbahan. Sa may bangketa. May lata sa harap ng nakaupong pulubi.
Tumutugtog siya gamit ang harmonika. May mga dumadaan na mga tao. Paminsan-minsan sila
ay naghuhulog ng barya sa lata. At paminsan-minsan din ay palihim na nagrereklamo si Nimfa
sa mga baryang hinulog.

Nimfa: (Sa sarili.) Ang babarat naman! Ang gagara ng mga damit pero singkwenta sentimos
lang ang binibigay. Pero ayos na rin ‘to kaysa wala. (Bibilangin ang mga barya at mabilis silang
ibubulsa.)

(Mapapadaan si Rick sa harap ng pulubi. Mahahalata niya ang ginagawa nito. Mapapansin ni
Nimfa kaya’t pasimpleng hihirit ng…)

Nimfa: Limos… Palimos po… Maawa po kayo…

Rick: Anong palimos-palimos ka diyan? Hey! I saw you. I saw what you just did, Ate. Kitang-kita
ng dalawang mata ko. Binibilang mo yung mga coins.
Nimfa: Kuya… Konting tulong lang po…
Rick: Aba, aba, kunwari pa ‘to. Eh hindi naman totoong bulag. Style niyo po bulok. Nanloloko po
kayo ng kapwa. Masama po yun. At sa labas pa talaga ng church?
Nimfa: Eh, ano bang problema mo, ha? Naghahanapbuhay ako dito. Alis ka nga diyan.
Rick: See? Sindikato ka siguro, ano? Style niyo yang ganyan eh.
Nimfa: Ay, ewan ko sa ’yo. (Dadamputin ang harmonika at tutugtugin ito.)

Ang Aral ni Ate

Mga Tauhan:
Rick, 15, studyante, nagtitipid para sa bagong character ng laro
Alison, 18, studyante, nakakatandang kapatid ni Rick
Nimfa, 10, namamalimos para sa pagkain

Lugar:
Umaga. Sa labas ng paaralan. Nakaupo sa gilid ng kalsada ang isang bata. Naghihintay na
bigyan ng baryang pambili niya ng pagkain. May ibang nagbigay ng barya, may iba rin na hindi
pinansin ang bata.
May dalawang estudyanteng lumabas sa paaralan.
Rick: Yes! Sa wakas ay malapit ko nang makuha ang character sa laro, excited na ako!
Alison: Kanina kapa diyan ah.
(Nadaanan nila Alison at Rick si Nimfa. Nakita ni Alison na nagugutom ang bata. Titingnan
lamang ni Rick ito.
Nimfa: (sa sarili) Gutom na gutom na ako. Sana naman may mag bigay na sa akin ng barya,
kahit konti lang.
(Nakita sila ni Nimfa na nasa tapat lang niya.)
Nimfa: Magandang umaga po, pahingi naman ng konting barya pambili lang ng pagkain.
Alison: Rick may barya ka ba diyan?
Rick: Ate Alison naman! Pabayaan mo yang bata na yan. Ipang gagala niya lang yan at
kailangan ko yung pera. Nagsikap ako para makapag-ipon para sa bagong character.
Nimfa: Hindi po kuya. Pambili ko po talaga ito ng pagkain. Gutom na gutom na po kasi ako
dahil kagabi pa po ako walang kain.
Alison: Grabe ka naman Rick! Konti barya lang naman. Mas importante pa ba talaga sa’yo yung
laro keysa sa simpleng pakiusap ng isang batang naghihirap? (Sabi ni Alison habang nagbibigay
ng barya sa bata)
Rick: (Napa-isip) Pasensya kana ate, tama ka po. (Nag abot rin ng barya sa bata)
Alison: Buti naman at naintindihan mo ako.
Nimfa: Salamat po ate at kuya! Makakbili na ako ng pagkain nito.
Rick: Siguraduhin mo lang na sa pagkain mo yan gagastosin ha!
Nimfa: Opo, pangako ko po yan sainyo, salamat po ulit!

REFLECTION
QUESTION: What did the text “Limos” revealed about our society? Were there any situations that you failed to be
compassionate? How do you feel when others act compassionately towards you?
Alderite: The story revealed that there will always be people who are insensitive in other people’s
struggles, and will still act the same even if they knew the truth. Admittedly, there were some instances
where I failed to be compassionate due to ignorance or anger, but I reflect on my actions and thoughts once
I realize my mistake. When others are compassionate towards me, I feel grateful and I always make sure
to treat them with compassion in the future as well.
Valentin: The text "Limos" revealed that in our society we have to do things to an extent such as lying to
receive compassion from others and you can never be too sure about what a person is going through and
that they are not given the same opportunities like you. I never failed to be compassionate to others as I
know that everyone has different struggles. When people are compassionate towards me it makes me feel
like I should share the compassion to everyone else.
Lacaba: The story ‘Limos” shows how our society works. All of us have different stories to judge
each other. All of us just want to survive, some do things that are not fair for others and some work
really hard. For me, if you want to help, then help. No one is forcing you to do something towards
them as long as you know that they are harmless, just let them do what they want.
