Narrator: As the world advances on a more technological kind of life, most of us, Filipinos, have been caught up in such modern changes. Most of us, children and teenagers had forgotten the legacy that our grandparents, parents and most older people had left us. And one of those legacies are our very own values- the Filipino values.
Now, here's a short presentation to make us remember what some of those values are.
Scene 1
Narrator: Once upon a modern day, In a little apartment somewhere in a little town, there lived a family. Well, they actually live a happy life until one day...
(phone rings)
Pat: Hello?
Jackie: Hello? Pat?
Pat: Jackie? Is that you?
Jackie: Of course! Soooo, how've you been?
Pat: Good. How about you?
Jackie: Well, I actually called to ask you a bit of a favor.
Pat: It's about your son, I suppose?
Jackie: Yeah. He's been a bit unstable....you know how liberated kids are here in U.S.
Pat: Well, you could send him over here to have a vacation.
Jackie: Really? Wow! Thanks Pat! I'll arrange his flight schedule then.
Narrator: After having the conversation with her friend who migrated to America, Pat decided to tell the family members about it over dinner.
(pray then eat)
