Gantimpala Theater Pearl Festival with Bienvenido Noriega Jr. Play
I was floored with the brilliance of the play Batang Pro and avidly searched for the playwright’s name. Since then, the name of Bienvenido Noriega Jr. was burned into my brain.

Thankfully, the server was the one who offered to replace it. I gratefully took him up on his offer.
