Part 1: Scene I (Introductory)
TRISHA: ****Lima kaming magkakaibigan, nagsimula noong tumungtong kami
bilang senior high school students.
One by one, ipapakita magpasok sa Fatima. From Ally, Catlyn, Nea,
Trisha and lastly, to Sharina.
Scene II:
TRISHA: Tanda ko pa nga, nagkakila-kilala kami nang dahil sa isang
group activity. Nagtalo-talo pa kami noon kung tama ba ang ginagawa
namin, and if may ambag pa kami, sa dulo, our arguments lead us to
open a friendship among us.
Nasa classroom silang lima, nakaupo habang nakaikot. May mga parts na
magtuturuan, ituturo ang papel, and sigawan. In the end, ipapakita na
na-resolve na ang gulo, after they’ve passed their papers, nakapag-
usap-usap na sila peacefully.
Scene III:
TRISHA: Natatanda ko pa, kung paanong sabay-sabay kaming baba para
pumunta sa canteen—agawan ng lace pass, hindi aalis kung may isang
wala pang pass, takot na ma-offense ng mga SSG.
Will show naman how nag-aabang sila ng lace pass, may hawak na ‘yung
apat while wala pa ‘yung isa, nasa gilid ng pintuan habang patingin-
tingin sa bintana if may SSG bang umaaligid o may kaklase silang
parating na may hawak ng pass.
Scene IV:
TRISHA: Tuwing uwian naman, todo habulan at singitan pa ang ginagawa
natin para lang makasakay ng jeep—sobrang traffic at ang daming
estudyante, ang hirap makasingit, ‘no? Minsan naman, kapag tinatamad
at walang energy, naghihintay na lang ng jeep na maaaring sakyan nang
walang kaagaw. Sige, late na kung late.
Shows the five, waiting for jeep. Minsan nakikipag-unahan pero failed
makasakay.
Part 2: Scene I: Decisions
TRISHA: (sighs) ang bilis ng panahon, ano? Parang dati, nagkakila-
kilala lang kami, parang dati, ang init pa ng dugo namin sa isa’t-isa—
parang dati… we’re not as pressured as we are now.
Nakatulala ang magkakaibigan, habang kumakain ng fishball,
contemplating kung ano ang kukunin nila for college.
SHARINA: ikaw, Ally? Ano gusto mo kunin?
ALLY: as usual, teacher ang balak ko.
TRISHA: hindi ko pa alam kung magnu-nursing ba ako o educ.
NEA: nagbabalak na nga akong mag-switch ng strand, mag-a-ABM na lang
ata ako. Ikaw ba, Sharina?
SHARINA: teacher, s’yempre.
Napabaling silang lahat ng tingin kay Ally.
CATLYN: (sighs) nagbabalak kaming lumipat ng bahay… baka hindi na ako
rito sa grade 12. Babalik na kami sa province namin.
Part 3: Scene I: Time
Dismissal time and naunang bumaba ang ABM, nahuhuli ang HUMSS. Nea’s
waiting for them sa harap ng school habang pauwi pa lang sila. At
first, apat pa silang bumababa, until sa naging tatlo na lang—Ally
already transfered schools.
NEA: si Catlyn?
CATLYN: nag-transfer na siya, kakaalis lang nila kanina.
Scene II:
Nag-aaya ang magkakaibigan na gumala after class through chat,
patagong nagse-cellphone while inviting their friend na nag-switch na
sa ABM.
Nakatago sa bag ni Trisha ang kaniyang phone, while chatting Nea.
Napatingin siya sa mga kaibigang nag-aabang ng reply mula sa kaniya.
ALLY: wala na naman daw siyang time, tsaka bawal siyang gabihin.
SHARINA: (sighs saka nagpalumbaba) so, tayo na naman munang tatlo?
Scene III:
The three started to find a college na papasukan, nagsi-search ng
school na maaari nilang pasukang tatlo magkakasama.
ALLY: final na, ha? MCC na tayong tatlo!
Both agreed
Scene IV:
NEA: The days went on, ‘yung dating limang magkakaibigan, naging tatlo
na lang—nang gano’n kabilis, but that’s fine! Hindi naman maiiwasan na
magkakaiba-iba kami ng landas, right? One day, at that one morning,
maaga pa no’n, pero nakapalumbaba na agad si Trish, waiting for our
friends to come, sabi niya rin no’n sa akin, ayaw niya pa sanang
sabihin, ayaw niya ring umalis, pero wala siyang choice.
Hinarap ni Trisha ang dalawa:
TRISHA: Uy, balak ni mama na sa Manila na raw kami…
Scene V:
ALLY: Oh, dalawa na lang tayo. Wala naman na sigurong mang-iiwan, ‘no?
Part 4: Scene I: Moving on
TRISHA: acknowledge your sadness and stress, sometimes, it’s better to
face head on our battles, than to hide, right? Adjusting your life
from an unfamiliar environment can be hard. Take something that is
familiar with you—you and your friends' pictures, videos, or mga gamit
that you guys all had. It’s fine being sad and be vulnerable.
Sharina opened a box, nakapaloob doon ang mga pictures nila—and her
camera, camera na naglalaman ng mga videos ng mga kaibigan niya. She
picked up the pictures and looked at them.
Scene II: Be Positive
SHARINA: be positive, think of the things that makes you move, that
inspires you—sino-sino nga ba sila? Ano-ano nga ba ang mga ‘to? What
is your goal? Think that with them on your side, physically or not—
they are supporting you, they are with you even if you are struggling.
Here, ipapakita na nagbi-videocall silang pagkakaibigan, cheering each
other. Sharina’s smiling while looking at them on screen. (if not
possible ang scene, through chat na lang—Sharina’s chatting them)
Scene III: Take Care of Yourself
ALLY: take care of yourself, ang sabi nila, as taking care of yourself
can make you happy—take a walk in the morning, mag-exercise, eat
healthy foods.
Sharina’s doing all of the things stated sa taas.
Scene IV: Express Yourself
CATLYN: it’s normal to feel pressured—especially when in an unfamiliar
environment, so write a journal! Rant on Twitter, write a poem or a
story, talk to someone. Tell them your stories, lahat ng mga nangyari
sa buhay mo—kinaiinisan mong kaklase, mababang magbigay ng grades na
prof, ang tambak na activities—rant them all. Don’t let them be stored
on you for too long.
Sharina’s writing on a journal. Magulo ang paligid, may mga libro sa
dami, opened notebooks, mga test papers.
Scene V: Take Your Time
NEA: Take your time—not everyone’s always have a same pace, iba-iba
tayo. There are some that are already well adjusted, while there are
some na hirap mag-adjust. Here—take a break, huminga nang malalim and
take your time. It’s fine not to be adjusted to your new environment
quickly, suit yourself. Be patient with yourself.
Tumatakbo siya then tumigil—hiningal.
Scene VI: Forgive Yourself
TRISHA: Forgive yourself sa mga bagay na hindi mo nagawang sabihin o
gawin nung kasama mo pa sila—the genuiness that you should have said,
the things that you didn’t know can help them pala—you’ve tried your
best, it’s not entirely your fault—that forgivines is the way of
healing.
Naglalakad silang apat sa sementeryo.
