Set in the heart of the beautiful island of Banton, this three-act play weaves together the lives of four married couples reminiscing shared memories and reflecting on their day to day lives in general. A telegram has just arrived for the Fairog couple from their son Meloy, who would be coming home from America with his wife Elena. The news immediately spread like wildfire, and everyone in town started helping out for the couple’s most anticipated homecoming. From the preparation of the native delicacies of Banton, the heartfelt songs and serenades sang by the couples, the traditional and unique Bantoanon culture of giving uncomplimentary names to some families, their simple livelihood of fishing and coconut planting, and the sharing of stories—from history, politics to education—over a bucket of Ginebra San Miguel and Pepsi Cola with broiled ipingan, this short comedy generously offers its readers a “lens” of the rich Bantoanon culture through the eyes of its characters. Ultimately, this literary work shares a soul-stirring message of a true Bantoanon’s values instilled by discipline and the love for one’s culture and language, metaphorically portrayed by the kuyagi—which brings pain—and the inaslom—which tastes good.
