Discover Tres Marias en Siquijor, a compelling historical fantasy and the award-winning script by Jazzy Lyle Sarmiento Samson, which clinched 4th place in the National Playwriting category at the Young Creatives Challenge (YC2) organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in March 2024.
The story bridges past and present on the mystical Isla de Fuego. In the modern day, Mary Nicole struggles to find her platform while running for SK Chairperson in Maria, Siquijor. Her trajectory changes after meeting Elias, a 96-year-old shaman and the final custodian of an untold history: the Siquijodnon's resistance against Spanish colonization.
Through Elias, a classic hero's journey unfolds. The narrative follows the young, naive Kihod of Tribu Dilaab as he seeks the guidance of the island's deities-Maria Isa, Maria Kakao, and Maria Nico-to protect their homeland. Alongside the prideful leader Gat Makapilay, the fierce warrior Cang-meniao, and the fisherman Talingting, Kihod navigates tests of purity, mystical eels, ghost ships, and stolen magical lana.
When internal conflict threatens to tear the tribes apart, a selfless sacrifice at Maria Nico's baluarte forces the rivals to realize that unity, not magic alone, is their strongest weapon. In a climactic act of collective resistance, the natives plunge the island into darkness, creating the legendary illusion known as lamat to hide Siquijor from Spanish galleons.
Inspired by her lineage as a descendant of Cang-meniao, Mary Nicole uses this forgotten legacy as her campaign platform, creating a theatrical masterpiece to correct misconceptions, celebrate indigenous culture, and preserve Siquijor's true identity.

I Love You Since 1892
Published book, series and now a Wattpad Original. Read the original story or watch new episodes weekly only on VivaOne. Hindi intensiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang umibig, lalo na sa taong 1892. Mula sa taong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa nakaraan nang may isang misyon: huwag hayaang umibig sa kanya si Juanito Alfonso, ang anak ng kilalang gobernadorcillo at ang lalaking nakatakda niyang makaisang-dibdib. *** Palaging kinukuwestiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang mga kuwentong nakabaon sa nakaraan ng kanyang pamilya, ngunit hindi niya akalain na mula sa panahong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa taong 1892 sa pamamagitan ng isang lumang talaarawan at ang Arch of the Centuries na kanyang nagsilbing portal. Inatasan siya ng isang misteryosong madre upang gawin ang napakahalagang misyon: kailangan niyang mamuhay bilang si Carmelita Montecarlos, ang bunsong anak ng pinakamayamang pamilya sa San Alfonso at siguruhing mapipigilan si Juanito Alfonso--ang nakatakdang mapangasawa ni Carmelita--na umibig sa kanya. Sa nalalapit nilang kasal at sa kasaysayang naghihintay na maisulat muli, ang pag-ibig na hindi naman sinadya upang maranasan ng dalawang inosenteng puso ay muli bang masisilayan pagkalipas ng isang siglo?

Pinili niya ang buhay na tahimik sa kabila ng panghuhusga ng lipunan sa mga babaeng tulad niya na maaaring tumandang dalaga. Subalit, ang inaakalang niyang tahimik na buhay ay nagkaroon ng hangganan nang bumalik ang lalaking ilang taon niyang hinintay at ang pagdating ng isang pilyong binata na kakambal ang kaguluhan.
