"The World is an Apple", a play written by Alberto Flotentino. This is a story of how social status can affect one's life by doing everything just to have one's desire. A story which shows the great boundary between the rich and the unfortunate ones, and how money can rule a person's life. The story is played by Mario, a father, his wife Gloria and their daughter, Tita. Their family happens to belong in the lower bracket of the society. Despite of their burdens, Gloria still remain to be a person of faith and good virtues. She believed that no matter what happened, God will always be there for them. Gloria pleaded Mario to do so, but because of his desire to provide his family sufficient needs, he drove himself to do such wrong things just to get what he desires.

Upon going home,specifically in Tondo after a year, it happened that she wasn't able to accept her life back in Tondo that it have been very difficult for her to adjust; in her own home!

"The Three Rats", an unlikely story of love, betrayal and friendship.A play written by Wilfrido Maria Guerrero,an outstanding Filipino playwright. This is a story which have shown the unfaithful and dishonest side of a person. Starring Gonzalo,Nita his wife, and his known to be best friend, Adrian. When Gonzalo discovered that Nita and Adrian is having an affair, Gonzalo haven't had a second thought but to take revenge.
