SYNOPSIS. The Play opens with a scene on a regular afternoon in a park where Ayah will meet Lina, a new kid in town while the latter is sitting on her favorite spot on the area. Ayah, like every child excited to meet someone for the first time, is trying to make friends with Lina by telling her a story about how she lost a friend who was killed in a bloody war and how other children also became victims. Even before she finished her story, Bob, a rural boy who became a street child, will interrupt and start telling his story to both girls about his own experience different from Ayah’s, of how he and his family came to live in the city.
As the day went on, Ayah and Bob started asking about Lina’s story. The three children later realized that their experiences are interrelated and their struggles are similar. They came to a conclusion that regardless of place, skin-color, and ethnicity, children are vulnerable to violence in wars waged against the people. As these happen, scenes in the form of flashbacks will periodically intervene, defining the parallelism and contrast between their stories and experiences. At the end of the day, the new found friends will become allies in raising awareness and understanding about the reality of Filipino children’s situation, and in the hopes of achieving their dreams of a nation that upholds the rights of every child. They realize the value of collective effort and with this nothing is impossible.
