The Legend of Maria Makiling: A Script

Scene 1:
(The scene opens with a lush forest setting. The Narrator speaks.)
Narrator 1: Once upon a time, in the heart of Laguna, lived a beautiful
diwata named Maria Makiling. She was known for her kindness and
compassion, always helping those in need.
(Maria Makiling appears, gracefully walking through the forest. She is
dressed in flowing white robes, adorned with flowers.)
Narrator 2: One day, a poor farmer came to Maria, his children sick and
weak.
(The Farmer enters, looking distraught.)

Farmer: Oh, Maria Makiling, please help! My children are ill, and I don’t
know what to do.

Maria Makiling: What happened to your children?

Farmer: My children ate the food that was given to us by our neighbour
and I think they were poisoned

Maria Makiling: Why? I thought you don’t accept food from other people

Farmer: Only this time, my wife and I don’t have a choice. We are out of
money to buy food

Maria Makiling: But farmer, you have chickens, pigs and cows,
vegetables and fruits in your farm.

Farmer: Our business didn’t go well so we have to sell it, so please Maria
Makiling (begging) help us.

Maria Makiling: (Compassionately) Do not worry, farmer. I will help you.

(Maria Makiling hands the Farmer a basket filled with ginger.)


Maria Makiling: Take this ginger, and it will heal your children.

(The Farmer is confused but takes the basket and leaves. The Narrator
continues.)

Farmer: Thank you for your kindness but where do I use this?

Maria Makiling: just wait and see, your children and your wife need that.

Narrator 2: The farmer returned home, and to his astonishment, the


ginger had transformed into gold! News of Maria Makiling’s kindness
spread throughout the town, and she became beloved by all.

Scene 2:

(The scene shifts to a bustling market. Maria Makiling is surrounded by


suitors.)

Narrator: Maria Makiling’s beauty attracted many suitors, but three stood
out: Captain Lara, the Spanish soldier; Joselito, the wealthy mestizo; and
Juan, the humble farmer.

(Captain Lara approaches Maria, boasting about his gifts.)

Captain Lara: Hola, Maria! I have brought you the finest jewels from
Europe, just for you.

(Joselito enters, trying to impress Maria with his stories.)

Joselito: My fair Maria, I have traveled the world, and I have stories to tell
you from every corner of the globe.

(Juan enters, shyly offering his produce.)


Captain Lara: too cheap, I can give you the life that you want Maria

Joselito: Really? Why don’t you just go to the military, I think they needed
you more there.

Captain Lara: I can protect her at all cost

Joselito: Well I can tour her around the world

(The argument stops when Juan talks)

Juan: Maria, I may not have riches, but I offer you the freshest fruits and
vegetables from my farm.

(Maria Makiling smiles politely at all her suitors, but secretly admires
Juan’s honesty and hard work.)

Captain Lara: did you see that? I think Maria likes him

Joselito: that poor guy

Scene 3:

(The scene shifts to a Spanish cuartel (barracks). Captain Lara and Joselito
are plotting.)

Narrator 1: The suitors grew impatient, demanding Maria’s choice. She


promised to reveal her decision on the night of the full moon.

(Captain Lara and Joselito whisper to each other.)

Captain Lara: We must ensure Juan is out of the picture.


Joselito: I have a plan.

Captain Lara: What’s your plan?

Joselito : We should frame him

Captain Lara: that’s a great idea

(They devise a plan to frame Juan for arson and have him executed.)

(The next day, a fire breaks out in the cuartel. The Spanish soldiers arrest
Juan and other Filipino prisoners.)

Captain Lara: I’m scared, will this even work?

Joselito: I’m not sure, we’ll see.

Scene 4:

(The scene shifts to the town square. Juan is being led to his execution.)

Narrator 1: Juan was falsely accused and sentenced to death.

(Juan shouts in protest as he is dragged to the center of the square.)

Juan: I am innocent! I did not start the fire!

(Maria Makiling, hearing the commotion, rushes down from the mountain.)

Maria Makiling: (Angrily) What have you done to Juan? Why did he have
to die?
Captain Lara: it’s Joselito’s fault! It’s his idea

Joselito: I didn’t know that they will kill him, I’m sorry Maria

Maria Makiling: I promise that you will never have a happy life!

(Captain Lara and Joselito flee to Manila, fearing Maria’s wrath.)

Scene 5:

(The scene returns to the forest. Maria Makiling is heartbroken.)

Maria Makiling: I’m sorry Juan, it’s my fault, you’ve been a great human
being, may you rest in peace. I love you.

Narrator 1: Maria Makiling cursed Captain Lara and Joselito for their
treachery. Her curse brought misfortune upon them.

(The Narrator concludes the story.)

Narrator 2: From that day forward, Maria Makiling remained hidden, but
her legend lives on. She is a symbol of love, justice, and the beauty of the
Philippines.
