This was a script I wrote almost for a stage play three years ago. This is in Ilonggo/Hiligaynon language and I want to share it with you.
Plot Summary:
Plot Summary:
Alyana or “Yana”, a girl who believes she is locked inside a
psychiatric hospital who claims that she is not actually insane and was placed
there by her parents to separate her from her lover whom they do not approve
of. Inside the hospital, she meets the
patients with different stories to share about how they ended up there. She also converses with the doctor and the
nurses trying to persuade them that she is not crazy and to let her out.
Once, a patient went ballistic and started to pick a fight
with Yana until she fainted. When she
woke up, she sees that she is not confined in a mental hospital but is in her
own bedroom. Thus, revealing that Yana
is in fact, insane. She has been talking
with inanimate objects in her room seeing them as patients. The doctor and the nurses are actually her
parents and her sister. Another figure she finds herself animated with is Amanda. But the question is, who is Amanda? Does she really exist? What is real and what is not? Read on...
Characters:
Alyana “Yana” Medina
– 25 years old; came from a rich and prominent political family. She was abandoned by the love of her life one
year ago and she never recovered until she isolated herself from her family and
peers. She began spending most of her
time alone talking to herself and firmly believing that JD, her ex-boyfriend
still loves her and would come back to her.
She reached the point where she
could not distinguish reality from fantasy.
That’s when her parents decided to lock her up.
Mr. Alfred Medina
– a prominent political figure who is planning to run in the next election for
congressman. He is the father of
Yana. He wanted to have Yana confined in
a real psychiatric hospital but his wife disapproved.
Mrs. Isabel Medina
– the mother of Yana. She is an ambitious and image-conscious woman. She loves the idea that her spouse is in
power because it affords her the lifestyle she is accustomed to. She loves Yana and is concerned about her but
she objected in having her confined in a mental hospital as it would tarnish
the reputation of her husband and their family.
It was her who decided to lock Yanna in her room and tell everyone Yanna
is studying abroad.
Alyssa “Yssa” Medina
– younger sister of Yana. She has
genuine concern for her sister and is saddened by what happened to her.
JD Perez – the
ex-boyfriend of Yana.

Amanda: Ay! Ara pa si girl sa dreamland. Hoy pagbugtaw! Welcome to Sound Meadows Home
Yana: (shocked
expression)
Amanda: I know.
Been there done that. Dapat gani
wala man ko d. Indi man bala mashed potatoes

ko ya mag etwang. G mo? Sala gid na haw? Is that enough reason para prisohon ko d
nila? Ang gago ko b nga migo nga first
love ko gin abandona ang beauty sang lola mo. Galing bala girl, daw nadimat
ko. Tilawan ko tanan ah. Boys, booze, drugs, you name it, I got it. So kung kinanglan mo advice about love
problems, kabalo ka na sin-o pangitaon mo ha?
AMANDA – ang babaeng pinagsawaan.
Hahaha Kampyon!
(Flor approaches Yana)
Flor: Hala mo!
Day day, kabalo ka, karon bala… (looks around), lamunon sang dragon ang
adlaw. Katapusan ta na tanan. Hay diyos ko diyos ko diyos ko!! Ay ambot da ya sa inyo kung indi kamo mag
pati sa akon.
Amanda: I soooo love the dragon. Don’t you?
Suki ko da daan. May discount ko
da 15%.
Yana: Ha?
Ano man?
Amanda: Sus. Pa-inosente effect. Sa Dragon Lodge bala sa Taculing.
Flor: Ginoo!
Patawara kami sa amon mga sala.
Imo salbaron ang amon mga kalag sa oras sang kamatayon.
Minerva: Hoy wala ko ya may gin patay! Nugay ka da pasibangod ha! Waay ko da bala
gapang hilabot sa imo Flor.
Tina: Patihan ta si Mahatma Ghandi. Hambal niya, “Live as if
you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
Flor: Ikaw babae, kung indi ka mag pati sa akon,
nugay ka pang dalahig iban nga tao. Mapatay
na ta dugay dugay. Ikaw gid una mahulog
sa impyerno. (turns to Yana). Lakat ta lakat ta updan ta ka
pangumpisal. Mag hinulsol na kita sa
aton mga sala samtang indi pa ulihe ang tanan.
(Flor drags Yana to Fr.
Alfred)
Flor: Father, may pakilala ko sa imo. (turns toYana) Sin-o ka gani?
Yana: Yana.
Fr. Alfred: Nalipay gid ang ginoo nga ang isa sa iya tupa
magabalik sa iya mangluluwas. Ano ang
maalagad ko sa imo anak?
Amanda: Anak lang guro. Naton. gaan mo siya anak. Korek?
Fr. Alfred: Ang panulay ara lang sa aton palibot nga naga
hutik hutik sa kung ano ano nga mga binutig.
Tina: Evil is just a state of mind.
Yana: Sa tuod lang bala, I have no idea why I’m
here. I’m not like you guys. Kahapon lang, ara pa ko sa balay namon. Kakita kamo kung sin-o nag dul-ong d sa
akon?
(Fr. Alfred hugs Yana)
Fr. Alfred: Ok lang na anak. Ipa-utwas lang tanan mo nga balatyagon sa
akon kay makalambot gid na sa aton Diyos.
Yana: You know what, I think parents ko gid
nagsulod d sa akon. Against gid to sila
daan sa amon ni JD.
Amanda: JD? As
in “Jerjer dito, jerjer doon?” Hahaha…. (Karen follows the “jerjer” action of Amanda)
Divina: Ka mga gahod sa inyo! Ikaw bigatlon nga babae, bastos ka
bibig! Ma um-um kagid karon habon.
Amanda: Hoy laon!
Hisa ka lang kay namalhan ka! Nag
kurinot ka na, wala ka gid makatilaw sang himaya. Ang imo na da ho… daw binulad nga uga! Tuyong tuyo!
(Divina runs after
Amanda) - Exits.
Yana: If I know, gusto lang kami nila i-separate
kay wala gid ko kuno future kay JD.
Fr. Alfred: Palangga-anay gid kamo to ni lalake haw?
Yana: Of course!
He really loves me. Nag promise
gid to siya nga indi ya ko biyaan. So I
know he will come looking for me and save me from this shithole. I don’t belong here!
Amanda: Ah sus… nagpati ka man? Balo ka girl, linya man gid na sang mga
lalake. Indi ka kuno abi biyaan, nga
love na love ka. Pero mangita man na
japon iban. Pareho man na sa laon nga si
Divina ho. Naglaon nalang sang hulat nga
hulat nga balikan siya sang nobyo ya sang una.
Natabo? Wala eh. Asta napag iwanan ng panahon.
Yana: Indi man na ya amo na si JD ko. Wait lang ha, I don’t even know why I’m
talking to you. You’re crazy.
Amanda: Ikaw bahala kung indi ka magpati sakon. Ako ang The Love Guru. Kag indi man ko buang. Pareho ta. Mga lalake na, makakita gani mas gwapa simo
kag mas sexy, sipaon ka nalang pahigad.
O pareho ni kay Karen ho nga wala gid hambal hambal kag sunod
sunuran. Trying hard na siya nga artista
sang una. Galing kulang siya sa talent
and indi man gid gwapa, teh rejected permi sa auditions. Kag because wala man siya sang “K” nga gina
tawag, gin islan siya ka migo ya sa isa ka model. Sa sobra ka hate niya lawas ya, ayan! Diri ang bagsak.
Fr. Alfred: Ang Diyos wala gahatag problema nga indi ta
makayanan. Tanan nga bagay may rason
kung ngaa ina gakatabo sa aton. Pareho
sa akon, gin lansang sa cruz, pero nabanhaw man ko liwat.
Yana: Ha?
Gin lansang?
Fr. Alfred: Huo. Kay naka ubra ako sa isa ka sala nga
dako. Naka pabusong ako madre. Pero gin hinulsulan ko to kag ari ko subong
liwat para mang salbar sang kalag sang iban nga tao. Hikapa ko anak, para mapa matud-an mo nga
buhi gid ako. (took the hand of Yana and
let it touch his body. He faces the
audience and has a dirty expression on his face).
Yana: (slaps Fr. Alfred hard) Shit bastos!!!
Nimfa: Aww shit bastos…
Karen: (runs to slap Fr.
Alfred too) (was turning back to return to her place until…)
Tina: Father, hambal sa
bibliya nga “if a man slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek.”
(Karen stopped. Turned back to Fr. Alfred and slapped his
other cheek).
Fr. Alfred: Mabudlay ang kabuhi sang isa ka alagad sang
Diyos. (exits with Flor. Flor kneels while walking)
Yana: San-o pa ko d kwaon ni JD man? Hay… galingin
akon ulo. Mahigda nalang ko.
Lights Out.

Elmer: Reasons…

Circe: ka gag!...
(was interrupted when Rose suddenly has an epilepsy attack).
(Karen enters the scene and follows Circe).
Minerva: Ay wala ko

Elmer: Bigaon ka nga

likes to pretend that she has epilepsy).

naglaon, ang isa wala na hambal hambal and pangopya nalang sang actions sang
iban nga tao. Hay… I just realized that
kung buang ka gale, wala ka kabalo nga buang ka noh? Feeling nila daw ka normal lang japon sang

Yana: Are you

Yssa: No no it’s
okay. Go on.
Yana: You know what,
sa tanan d nga tao sa hospital ikaw lang gid ang nag pungko and willing mamati
sakon. And I feel comfortable with you. Sang
una b, si JD, boyfriend ko na siya. It’s
him and me against the world ang amon story.
My parents hated him. They did everything to separate us. That’s why I’m here. Indi man ko na nila love.
Yssa: That’s not

Yana: Indi. JD’s the best guy for me. Balo ka, may pari d. Abi ko tarong. Gali lain man ulo kag manyak. Tinampa ko siya ah! Pero may isa gid d ya ka girl nga in a weird
way, ka vibes ko. Her name’s Amanda and
she’s a nymphomaniac. Galing kaluoy bala
sa iya. Kung ako sa place niya, wala ko
kabalo ano himuon ko. Basi mabuang man
ko parehas sa iya. Gin biyaan siya sang
first love niya. Amo gid na ang nag palain sang ulo niya. Good thing, me and JD are not like that. I’m still lucky noh?
Yssa: Hmmm…. yeah.
Yana: Yssa, indi mo
pagsugid sa ila ni doctor kag ang upod ya nga nurse nga babae nga daw may edad

Yana: Ah basta, gusto

if JD visits or calls, tell me ha.
Ayawan gid to siya guro pangita sakon.
Yssa: Yana, I think
you better rest now. Dapat dasigon mo pa
ayo para maka gwa ka na d.
Yana: In the first
place, I’m not really sick. And I know
I’ll get out of here in no time. This is
all a mistake. But you’re right. Daw gin kapoy man ko today sa kadamo d drama

Yssa: Cge na. Rest

Yana: Umm… Yssa?

Yssa: (stunned)
(approaches Yana and hugged)
Yana: (while hugging) Thank you. It’s just that it’s nice talking to someone
nga indi buang. (rolls eyes). I don’t

Anyway, if JD arrives looking for me, wake me up ha.
Yssa: (silence for a
few seconds) Of course. (Yssa covers her with a blanket)
Lights off
Act 5: JD
JD: Yana….? Yanna….?
(Yana wakes up and stared at JD for a moment and hugged each

JD: Sorry gid sa
natabo sa imo. Akon ni sala. Pero I want you to know that maski ano ang
