The Passerby

Magda Sinco is a well-known pro-choice activist in the Philippines. In a country strongly opposed to abortion, she is a resounding voice challenging the status quo. She plans to establish multiple abortion centers nationwide, similar to Planned Parenthood in the United States. At her core, she is a feminist who firmly believes that women have the right to make decisions about their own bodies.

She unexpectedly crosses paths with Jason Sanchez-a man unlike any she has met before. First, he is a devout, practicing Catholic. Second, he is only a high school graduate without any notable academic achievements. And third, he is far from the type of man she ever imagined falling in love with.

Yet, through their frequent encounters, Magda realizes she is seeking his attention, craving his validation, and, against her will, yearning for his heart. She struggles to suppress these unfamiliar emotions, knowing that giving in might compromise her beliefs and advocacies. Will she succeed in protecting herself from the risk of falling in love? Or will love compel her to reexamine her convictions, her cause, and the very purpose that defines her?
