Plot.

Title: “Treasures of Home”

In a pleasantly old-fashioned provincial town in the Philippines, the Rodriguez family resides in their ancestral house,
which holds a secret rumored to be a treasure hidden within its walls. The mysterious legend surrounding the house
sparks excitement and intrigue among family members, leading to unexpected twists and turns in their lives.

The Rodriguez family is large and diverse, consisting of the patriarch, Don Emilio Rodriguez and his adult grandchildren:
Leonor, Bianca, Sofia, Agnes, and Estrella. Each family member possesses distinct personalities and dreams, and they all
want a share of the ancestral house’s so-called treasure.

Amid the chaotic pursuit of the ancestral house’s treasure, the Rodriguez family learns valuable lessons about love,
forgiveness, and the true meaning of family. They realize that it is their unity and shared memories within the house that
are the true treasures, not the mythical wealth hidden away.

In the end, the Rodriguez family puts their differences aside and decides that instead of letting greed and selfishness
destroy them, they will embrace harmony and keep the ancestral house as a symbol of their strong bond. They
understand that their love for one another is the greatest treasure they could ever possess.

In the town of Los Hermanos, an old house can be seen from the top of a small hill, with its imposing size, cracked yet
sturdy walls, a garden by which colors bloom, and beauty of its architecture, a remnant from a bygone era.
Don: Ignacio

Ignacio: Yes, Don Emilio

Don: Do you know why I called you here?

Ignacio: No, sir.

Don: You know that I haven’t fully accepted you to our family yet. Though you are my daughter’s husband you still
haven’t proved your worth.

Ignacio: Then what should I do, Don Emilio

Don: I want you to go to Vietnam as one of my representatives. If you succeeded in this, then maybe I’ll let you manage
part of my business. With that said I want you to act carefully and don’t disrespect my business partners. Can I trust you
with that Ignacio?

Ignacio: Yes, I promise you Don Emilio I will prove to you that I am worthy of your daughter.

Don: I’m only giving you this chance because of my wife’s death. It’s her final wish after all.

Ignacio: Still I’ll forever be thankful for this.

With joy in his heart Ignacio proudly told his wife Emilia the daughter of Don Emilio about the Don’s decision. Even
though she was happy with the news Emilia still knew that she’ll miss her husband so she went to the airport with him.

Emilia: Ignacio, I want you to take care in Vietnam. Don’t eat everything they serve, don’t drink water everywhere, also
be careful on where you walk I heard there are landmines.

Ignacio: Landmines?

Emilia: Yes, have you forgotten there’s literally a war there a few years ago?

Ignacio: No, I mean I’m just going to Hanoi I don’t think there will be mines in a city.

Emilia: Okay, okay. I just want you to take care and promise me you’ll call after you’ve arrived.

Ignacio: Sure, I promise.

*Now Boarding ICBM159, all passengers of ICBM159 please proceed to board the plane*

Ignacio: Oh, Here’s the plane See you Emilia, I love you.

Emilia: I love you too, Have a safe trip, Please return to us as soon as you can!

Days passed since Ignacio left for Vietnam. Emilia still hadn’t received news from Ignacio.

*Ring*Ring*

Emilia: Hello?

Caller: Hello, is this the residence of Ignacio Herida?

Emilia: Yes, this is his wife.

Caller: This is Asian Airlines, I assume your husband is a passenger of Plane ICBM159

Emilia: Yes, what happened to my husband?

Caller: I’m sorry to say that the Plane ICBM159 crash landed near the Ba Vi Mountain Range west of Hanoi. The body of
your husband-

Emilia: (Drops the phone in shock then cries)

Emilia was inconsolable, she was mad at the sudden death of her husband and blamed her father for what happened to
him. She became depressed by the day, staring at the picture of Ignacio by their bed and when her sadness overcame
her mind she killed herself.

college. The Don also remarried and his new wife is with him sitting in the balcony, admiring the night sky.

Don Emilio: I haven’t thought of this before… now that I see it, nothing compares to your beauty.

Rebecca: You’re just saying that, (smiles but acts as if she doesn’t believe the Don)

Don: (Smiles) What would I do for you to believe me?

Rebecca: *Sighs* (Holds the Don’s hand) You know we’ve been together for a while now but we haven’t left this house
for so long, I want the two of us to travel somewhere.

Don: Of course, I’ll do anything for you, (kisses the hand of Rebecca)

Rebecca: (Happy) Really!!, You’re the best so where will we go? Japan? Germany? Oh! I heard Rome was nice!

Don: You decide Honey

Rebecca: Okay, I think… (cold wind passes) Burr, it’s getting colder now.

Don: Why not get inside? So, we can warm up.

They moved to the next room and Agnes joyfully proclaimed Estrella’s arrival.

Agnes: Look who’s here!!!

Bianca: Oh Estrella, come sit here.

Ella sits between Bianca and Sofia. She hugs her sisters one after the other.

Ella: Ate Bianca I’ve seen one of your paintings, it’s beautiful.

Bianca: Of course, it’s my painting after all.

Sofia: So, how’s College Ella?

Ella: Stressful but I think I can still manage.

Meanwhile as the siblings catch up with each other, Don Emilio called for the other siblings to come up to his room.

Act IV. Death of Don Emilio Mapa, Brazil, Ymata, Mesa, Sophia, Giray, Escalona, Lopez, Holares, Trencio

The siblings went to their grandfather’s room and see the weakened state of their grandfather. In that Rebecca and the
eldest sibling Leonor was present.

Don Emilio: *Cough*Cough My Grandchildren now that you’re all here *Cough*Cough I want to thank you for sparing
this old man with a bit of your time.

Leonor: It’s no problem Lolo. We’ll always be here for you.

Don Emilio: Thank you *cough *cough. Still I know I’ve been hard to your mother.

Leonor: It’s alright…. I’m sure she forgave you already.

Ella: Ate Leonor is right, mother would’ve forgiven you.

Don Emilio: (Heavy Breathing) I know my time is near. So let me *cough *cough tell you all…..(gives a key to Leonor)

Rebecca: What is it honey? (Concerned look)

Don Emilio: About the…..this house’s tr-treasure (Dies)

Rebecca turned to the back while Diego and Ella tries to wake their grandfather up. Sofia was crying but Agnes and
Bianca watched silently as everyone was crying for the loss of the Don. Even the staff and the strict “Mayor Doma”,
Aleng Coring who can be seen tearing up. The Don’s Body was quickly buried as per his wishes and the siblings now
began to discuss the meaning of the Don’s last words.

Leonor: Lolo said something about a treasure. Maybe the rumors were true.

Bianca: If Lolo knew about it why didn’t he find it himself?

Agnes: That sounds true.

Leonor: But he gave me this (Holds key in his hands) this might be a clue.

Sofia: Is that enough reason to go looking for something we’re not sure if true?

Leonor: Whatever! if I find it, I won’t share it with you.

While all of this is happening, the Gardener named Tericita who was listening the whole time is already forming an evil
plan to snatch the said treasure.

Act V. Treasure Mania Giray, Ymata, Brazil, Sophia, Trencio, Lagunilla, Mesa, Belitor

The quest to find the treasure commences. The Rodriguez siblings went to great lengths searching the house and went
to the attic.

Agnes: *Sneeze* Wow, there’s so much dust here!

Ella: Ate is it really necessary for us to come here?

Leonor: Of course, if there’s one place to store old stuff it should be here.

Bianca: Truly these things are as old as you.

Leonor: You know Bianca if you have a problem with me, you can just tell me right here.

Bianca: (Returns back down)

Ella: Ate what’s up with Ate Bianca?

Agnes: No idea must be on her “Day”.

Ella: Right, she’s usually not mad like that.

Leonor: (Finds old pictures as he search the boxes) Look here, it’s our old picture.

Agnes: I’m such a small girl, wasn’t I?

Leonor: Yeah, look here I am, Here’s Ma and Pa, and here’s Ella. You’re such a cute baby.

Ella: It’s kind of weird to think I’m that chubby once.

Leonor: (Gives the picture to Ella, then finds a note under the pile of pictures) What’s this? Rodriguez. I think we found
something!

While all of them was busy looking for the clues on the treasure, Sofia was with her sickly daughter.

Sofia: Do you like the book that I gave you?

Michelle: Yes Ma…but when will I…be able to enjoy my life…just like the heroine in the book.

Sofia: Don’t you worry. You’ll be cured soon. Mama just…just needs to find the money for your medication.

Michelle: When will “soon” come?

Sofia: It’ll come, It will. I’m sure.

Michelle: I hope it does, so…we can visit dad.

Sofia: Yes, we will. I’m sorry if it’s been so long…. would you forgive mama for giving you such a weak body? (Sorrowful
face)

Michelle: Yes, because you’re my only mama.

Sofia: (Hugs her daughter)

Michelle: I love you ma

Sofia: I love you too (Tears up)

Rebecca on the meantime called the attorney responsible for the Don’s last will and testament.

*Ring*Ring*

Rebecca: Hello Attorney?

Attorney Yu: Hello, Attorney Yu Speaking.

Rebecca: Oh, I see.

Act VI. Wild Goose chase Brazil, Giray, Ymata, Lopez, Sophia, Holares, Lagunilla
With Leonor’s discovery of the note the siblings found an important clue as to where the treasure is.

Leonor: Whatever I look at this, I can’t understand anything. (Places Key at the Table)

Agnes: That looks like a bunch of squiggles.

Ella: I’ve seen this before I think it’s Baybayin?

Leonor: Do you know how to read it?

Ella: No, but I can recognize a few of this…looks like “ga”.

Agnes: It’s useless if we can’t read it.

*Noise*Noise*

Leonor: What’s happening?

Ella: Beats me

Agnes: It sounds like the gardener.

Agnes walks down the stairs to check where was the noise coming from.

Agnes: Tericita! What the heck are you doing down there?!

Gardener: I was just looking for the pruning shear that I kept a long time ago in the attic.

Agnes: Pruning shear? Don’t you have it?

Gardener: It’s broken ma’am, I forgot to buy a new one because we have been busy since you and your siblings arrived.

Agnes: Oh? Okay, come then. I think I saw it back there.

The Gardener and Agnes went back the attic where Leonor and others are busy decoding the clue that they found.

Ella: I think this one is “ku”, something like that.

Leonor: Really? Something like that? Why don’t you just shut your mouth if you’re not sure? You’re just giving me
headache.

Bianca: Of course your head will hurt especially if you can’t think anthing other than money. Why don’t you read books
like Ella so you’ll sound smart at least.

Leonor: Oh so you’re still not over with your whims?! Is that it?!

Bianca: It won’t be over unless you stop acting as if we’re just some kind of a servant.

Leonor: I’m just trying to lead because I know you guys are too soft for this kind of quest.

Sofia: You guys should stop, we will not gain anything from you guys fighting. Let’s just work together peacefully.
Leonor: Together my foot!

Bianca: I really can’t take you and your little brain. (roll eyes and walk away)

Out of frustration, Bianca grabs Sofia and ask the Gardener if she knew something since she has been there for a long
time.

Bianca: Hey Teri haven’t you heard anything from Lolo or anyone in this house about that stupid treasure?

Gardener: I’m sorry ma’am but the Don is very antisocial especially when he lost his first wife. He only talks with Donya
Rebecca.

Sofia: Is that so? Guess he was very traumatized when Lola died.

Ella: Poor man.

Gardener: But I think I can help you with that note. I'm actually good at translating old texts.

Leonor: (Went to the gardener) Finally! A helpful remarks. Try decoding it now.

Gardener: Okay ma'am but I need time because it's been so long since I tried translating old script

Agnes: Oh my god, you’re such an angel. Can you make it like today?

Gardener: Sure ma’am.

Act VII. Clues upon Clues Giray, Brazil, Mapa, Egagamao, Sophia, Trencio, Lopez, Ymata

The gang split up and continue their own investigation. The siblings were sitting in the sala when the gardener arrive.

Agnes: I think she’s here. I hear footsteps.

Leonor: Took her long enough.

Bianca: Just be thankful she let us borrow her time, brat.

Gardener enter the scene.

Gardener: I’m sorry for making you wait ma’am.

Leonor: So… Let’s not waste any more time, what's in the note? (crossed arm)

Ella: (whisper to Agnes) You think we can trust her?

Agnes: (whisper back) I hope so. We don’t have other way for this to be solved.

Gardener: Aha! I got it. It says here “To get what we’re looking for, we need to find a very special mango tree”.

Leonor: How can a mango tree be special?

Bianca: Use your brain, fool. It’s not for display only.

Leonor: (look at Bianca) I’m not talking to you.

Gardener: Sorry to interrupt your bickering but we have a mango tree at the back and it doesn’t bear any fruit no matter
what I do with it. The intriguing part is that Don Emillio ordered me to never cut that tree.

Leonor: What are we waiting for? Let’s go!

The siblings together with the Tericita went to the back to look for more clues.

Gardener: Here it is, I don’t know how long this thing have been here but this still looks like a healthy tree.

Leonor: Thank you, well just examine it.

Ella: What should we do here? This doesn’t seem like it’s the right clue.

Gardener: (walks towards the tree and stops then examines the tree) hmmm that’s it, this is a tree.

Agnes: Isn’t that what were here for?

Leonor: I knew it! You’re a con.

Gardener: No, no, look at this hole. It shows signs of healing and this is too big for a woodpecker hole.

Leonor: Why don’t you go and use your hand to reach something in there?

Ellize: Okay, if you say so. (Slowly places hand into the hole, deeper and deeper then found another clue)

Leonor: What does it say?

Gardener: It says here that the next one is “where the water never ceases to flow.”

Agnes: What do you mean the water never ceases to flow?

Ella: I think he means the Faucet.

Leonor: Seriously? I’m starting to doubt you now, for all we know you could’ve just placed that thing in there.

Gardener: I don’t have a clue now but let me think just a little Boss.

Bianca: (sigh) You guys are just pushing without even thinking. It’s the fountain, duh.

Leonor: Do you really need to rub in our face how dumb we are?

Bianca: Uh – no. Only in your face. (laugh)

Ella: (moves her head in dismay) You two are very immature, can’t we just go to the fountain so this will be over?

Sofia: Ella’s actually right. You guys are just prolonging this mission.

Ellize: So… Shall we?

The gang once again moves to another place in their mansion. This time, it’s in the fountain.
Leonor: Can’t believe this old thing is still here.

Gardener: If we follow what’s in the clue, the key migh be use somewhere around this fountain. (wander around)

Leonor: A keyhole perhaps.

Ella: It already has numerous cracks it will be hard to find anything resembling a keyhole.

Gardener: It won’t hurt to try (Then begins to examine the fountain) You’re right, this thing is too old to even exist.

Leonor: Let me have a look (Accidentally pushes one of the blocks on the edge of the fountain)

Gardener: Wait, Don’t move!. This part right here (completely pushes the block and reveals a keyhole underneath) Now
the key Boss.

(Tericita uses the key and opens the hidden compartment. A bottle with a note was inside. Tericita opens it and reads
the note)

Gardener: (reads the note she got from the fountain) To those who found this note, Our family’s treasure is under our
ancestral home.

Leonor: Is that really what it says?

Gardener: (nod in agreement)

Leonor: We’ve just come full circle. Fine, if that’s what’s needed then I’ll flatten that house.

Agnes: You mean you’ll destroy this house just to find it? Are you joking?

Leonor: Do I look like one to joke?

Ella: But ate isn’t this house important to Lolo?

Leonor: It is, but if it’s that important to Lolo he wouldn’t burry his treasure below it.

Ella: What kind of reasoning is that? I saw you cry in front of him.

Leonor: Same reasoning that made him tell us about the treasure. He wanted us to find it!. Isn’t that right Agnes?.

Agnes: Yes, but…

Ella: Ate this is not right.

Leonor: Not right? We’ve been looking for days now!

Ella: But it’s our Lolo’s home, the house where we grow and the memory of father and mother is also in there.

Leonor: So, our efforts will be for nothing? We’ve even got ourselves this goofball (points at Tericita) and you want us to
stop just like that?

Ella: Yes! If this house is not important to you, it is for some of us!

Leonor: You know what Ella if I hear another word from you I’ll….

Ella: You’ll what? Hurt me for a bunch of gold? Is that how important this is to you? (Gets slapped by Diego and falls to
the ground)

Agnes: Wait Leonor, that’s too much!! (Helps Ella up)

Leonor: She deserved that! You don’t have respect!

Bianca: (Upon seeing Ella hurt she snapped) What are you doing you freak?!
Leonor: Oh, you can talk now? Can’t you see our little sister here is stepping out of line.

Bianca: You’re the one stepping out of line.

Leonor: Why would you care? You’re too intelligent to entertain our pettiness.

Bianca: If you expect me to just watch while you hurt our bunso then I’m certainly more intelligent than you.

Leonor: Oh yeah? I may be dumb but I’ll be the one to get that treasure!! (Pushes Bianca then is restrained by Agnes)

Bianca: Why you!!!? (Gets restrained by sofia)

Agnes: Please stop both of you!! Ate Bianca stop escalating this you know how Ate Leonor is.

Bianca: You’ll cover for her? Have you forgotten how much that retard stuck like a leech to Lolo after Mama died?

Agnes: I didn’t, I’m also there when mother died. It’s just… can’t we return to the way we used to?

Bianca: That’s impossible with this idiot around.

Leonor: Me? Idiot? The one who paid for your education? You wouldn’t even be here if I didn’t “leech” from
grandfather. The treasure is the only thing I want for myself and you all tries to prevent me. (Sits down)

Sofia: Treasure this, treasure that. You’re rich enough.

Leonor: Who says I’m talking to you? I know you also want a part of it! Why don’t you go back to your useless husband.

Sofia: He’s already dead for God’s sake! I know I’ve made mistakes before. I’m not asking you for anything even for my
daughter’s medication, but please… we are siblings. We shouldn’t be like this.

Ella: If you still have respect for grandfather please don’t ruin this house.

Bianca: And you Ella, I think you’re just coveting for this house.

Ella: Ate please don’t say that, you know that’s not true.

Bianca: You can forgive our Lolo but I can I still remember his hatred for our father, maybe you’re too young to
remember how mother died because of his selfishness.

Agnes: But Lolo’s already dead Ate, please let him rest.

Ella: I know how angry you are to Lolo but he’s still our lolo, maybe even mother forgave him already. Didn’t you say
“when someone hurt you it’s better to forgive”. Please ate let’s stop this already. (referring to Bianca)

Sofia: Ate, Ella’s right. We’ve been acting like a child. Please forgive our Lolo and you ate Leonor if it’s the treasure, we
don’t want it. I am only here for the chance that my daughter will be cured, I don’t want any more than that. I’m sorry if
I didn’t listen to you before but my husband changed, he tried to be a good father.

Leonor: I’ve had enough!! Might as well get out of here, I’m getting sick in here. (Takes note from Van while Van follows
Leonor out)

Act VIII. Under the night sky. Maapa, Ymata, Mesa, Lopez, Holares, Sophia, Trencio, Brazil, Lagunilla, Llones

While things continue to progress all over the house, Rebecca who was devastated by the death of the Don stayed at
their room most of the time and was asleep. She slept soundly all through the night but felt that she needs to do her
business on the bathroom and left her room for a quick moment. Soon a shadowy figure enters the room and when
Rebecca went back, she saw the figure stealing the valuables in the cabinet.

Rebecca: Hey!! Who are you? (She immediately threw her slippers at the person)

(The thief panicked and hurriedly ran for the window kicking the candles which was beside the picture of the Don)

Rebecca: Help! There’s a thief!! Thief!

(The thief escaped via the window then the fire quickly spread through the carpets and the curtains)

The blaze quickly spread on the upper floor of the house and thick smoke seeped through the room and clouded the
hallways.

Rebecca: Everyone wake up!!! There's a fire!! Wake up (knocks on doors) (Calls fire department) Hello? Please help us
there is a fire in the Rodriguez residence!!

Everyone quickly left out the house. The staff and everyone who got out first desperately tried to contain the fire using
buckets of water. Bianca then carried Sofia who is almost suffocating due to the smoke.

Bianca: Come on sit here, Breath… (inhale, exhale)

Sofia: *Gasping* Where’s Michelle? I need to get back there *Gasping*

Leonor: No! you sit here. I’ll go.

Agnes: Ate the fire’s too strong!!

Leonor: I don’t care!! Give me that water.

Leonor without hesitation reentered the house, smoke filled the hallways and falling debris is the only thing Leonor can
see.

Leonor: Michelle!!? Michelle!!? Where are you!!?

Michelle: Tita!! Tita!!

Leonor: Stay there! I’m coming to get you!! (Kicking the debris blocking his path) Here, use this to cover your nose (Rips
part of her wet shirt to give to Michelle).

Leonor then swiftly got out the house carrying Michelle unharmed. She walked towards Sofia with her daughter.

Sofia: Oh god… A-Ate Leonor, thank you.

Leonor: I’m sorry…I’m sorry Sofia, I’m only mad at you for choosing some no good as your husband but I guess that’s in
the past now, I’ll help with Michelle’s medication. No matter how expensive it is.

Sofia: (Smiles at Leonor)

Leonor: (Turns to agnes) Agnes I’m sorry for earlier, I… I don’t know what to say it’s just….

Agnes: It’s alright ate, we understand where you’re coming from.

Leonor: Ella I’m sorry too for hurting you, I promise you I won’t touch Lolo’s house anymore

Ella: (Smiles at Leonor)

Leonor: And you Bianca, I’m sorry, I really am. I was just… angry and jealous of you. You’ve always been the smartest on
all of us. Forgive me Bianca. (Extends hand for a handshake)

Bianca: (Hugs Leonor) It’s alright ate, I’m sorry too for all that I’ve said. Maybe it’s time, (Looks at Ella) I’ll forgive Lolo.

Ella: (hugs her sister)

Leonor: Ha, Let’s stop all this drama. It’s only because of this darn trea…. (Looks around for the note and key)

Agnes: Oh yeah where’s that guy? Van.

(sound of the firetrack and police car)

(The police walk towards the Rodriguez family near the old mango tree)

Policeman 1: (Talks to Rebecca) Ma’am does this look familiar to you?

Rebecca: Yes! this is the Ring I got from my husband.

Policeman : Hey! Come out! Igot this person when we’re on the way here after we receive a tip that a wanted criminal
was here.

Rebecca: Why don’t you unmask him?

Policeman : On it. (Unmasks the thief and it was Tericita)

Everyone: Teri?!!

Rebecca: Teri? (in dismay)

Ella: How could you do this to us?

Rebecca: We’ve been sharing a house for decades and yet here you are, crawling over for some treasure that doesn’t
even exist?

Leonor: What?! There’s no treasure? We almost died just because of that stupid treasure!

Rebecca: Emilio just wanted for his granddaughter to reconcile.

Bianca: Geez that old man, he really is annoying.

Ella: Ate! I thought you’re forgiving Lolo?

Bianca: I’m sorry, I’m trying, okay?!

So many things have happened, unexpected events, goofy, depressing, or even intense things have passed but the
Rodriguez siblings have managed to make up and let bygones be bygones. To forgive past grievances and to love each
other as much as before. With the reading of the last will and testament the siblings found things much more important
than the treasure of gold, the treasure called “Family”.
