Pinay will be performing one of the plays the Sa Sala Lng Po produced: BARANGGAY PEKTO. The story is a political satire revolving around Pinay, a young mind who is exposed to the surroundings of Baranggay Pekto. She grew up by following the rules and commands of her grand mother named Lola Glo who is also the authority in their baranggay. As time passes by, these rules became the way of lives of the Pekto residents until one day, Pinay’s sister Juana returned from the outside helping them to open their eyes to realities without hiding from their imperfection.

Baranggay Pekto is written by Ria Torrente and Corin Arenas with additional lines and concept by Dulaang Pinay. Stage Design by Czarine Buenaventura and Bobot Lota. Direction by Faythe Santiago with the guidance and Music direction of Bobet Mendoza.
