Leonora Perez (63), a Filipino migrant worker employed as a shepherdess for a family farm is stranded on a remote mountain village in a Middle Eastern country for twenty one years. She endures the harsh mountain cold, threats of imprisonment and deportation from the authorities, homesickness, unpaid salaries that has accumulated over the years, near insanity, and isolation in a foreign country that is hostile, while at the same time, a country that is holy and beautiful.

Leonora earns a small monthly salary of 180 USD which she sends regularly to her family in the Philippines. Her meager salary was able to feed her family throughout the years and it was also able to send her only daughter Rubirosa to the university. Leonora?s faith in God, her unconditional love for her family, and her golden heart makes her endure all the hardships in the host country for 21 years.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

POLA, late-20’s, wife of Timo

LALAHON, diwata of Mount Talinis

TIMO, late-20’s, husband of Pola

EMMAN, 25, trekking guide

The action occurs during the summer time of late May, starting at first in the base of the Bediao Geothermal Site in the Municipality of Dauin then proceeding further into Mount Talinis.

SETTING: The bigger the better when it comes to the stage because the character will be walking around a lot. A more elaborate production is required, with a lot of foliage needed. Props carried by actors are also important for they give emphasis to the ordeal they are going through.
