Scene 1: Flirting
[Dean enters the office. Prince is reviewing documents on his desk. Dean leans on the desk
flirtatiously.]
Dean:
Good morning, Sir Prince. You look extra handsome today.
Prince: (smiling)
Dean, you always know how to brighten my day. Kumusta ang projects mo?
Dean: (shrugging)
Actually, I was planning to take another day off... Medyo pagod kasi ako.
Prince: (nodding)
Of course, you deserve the rest. I'll take care of it.

[Prince approaches Sarah, who is working on her desk. He looks angry. Other employees,
including Wong and Airra, watch discreetly.]
Prince: (angry)
Sarah, bakit ka na naman absent kahapon? Hindi ka ba seryoso sa trabaho mo?
Sarah: (nervously)
Pasensya na po, Sir. Nagka-emergency lang sa bahay...
[Prince storms off. Sarah looks humiliated while Wong and Airra exchange knowing glances.]

Scene 3: Chismisan
[Mindanao, Wong, and Airra are seated. Andrei and Jhep join them.]
Mindanao:
Grabe si Sir Prince. Sobrang galit kay Sarah kanina.
Wong: (sarcastically)
Eh kung si Dean kaya ang absent, magagalit kaya siya?
Airra:
Siyempre hindi. Iba ang trato niya kay Dean. Halata naman, 'di ba?
Andrei:
Nakakainis na. Puro paboritismo.
Jhep:
Kawawa si Sarah. Dapat i-report na 'yan sa HR.
Mindanao:
Oo nga. Kung wala tayong gagawin, tuloy-tuloy lang ang ganitong sistema.

(Location: HR office)
Sarah: (emotional)
Good afternoon po. Pwede po ba akong mag-sumbong?
Recela: (calmly)
Of course, Sarah. Ano’ng nangyari?
Sarah:
Hindi na po makatarungan ang nangyayari. Lagi akong pinapagalitan ni Sir Prince, pero si Dean
kahit ilang araw nang absent, walang sinasabi sa kanya. Lahat naman po kami pantay-pantay
na empleyado, pero iba po ang trato niya.
Scene 5: HR Meeting
[Recela and Bella are seated at the head of the table. Prince, Dean, Sarah, and representatives
of the employees (Mindanao and Wong) are present. The atmosphere is tense. Documents and
attendance records are laid out on the table.]
Prince: (defensive)
Dean informed me of personal matters. I exercised discretion as a CEO. Hindi ko na pinapansin
dahil alam kong kaya niyang tapusin ang trabaho niya.
Sarah: (firmly)
This favoritism has demoralized the team. When I was absent due to an emergency, I was
scolded and threatened with suspension. That’s not just unethical—it’s discriminatory.
Dean: (nervous)
Uh... I was under the impression na okay na kay Sir Prince.
Bella:
Prince, as CEO, you should be a model for compliance. Favoring one employee over another is
a form of unfair labor practice, which is covered under Section 5 of the Labor Code. It could also
expose the company to legal risks.
Recela: (sternly)
This meeting is to remind everyone that all employees, regardless of position or personal
relationships, are subject to the same rules. We will proceed to discuss consequences for these
violations.
---
[The atmosphere is formal. Recela and Bella summarize their investigation and announce the
decisions.]
Recela:
After conducting a thorough investigation, we have concluded that there has been a clear
violation of company policies and labor laws. Favoritism, as well as neglect of duty, were
evident. Here are our decisions:
Bella:
1. To Dean: Starting immediately, you are required to submit formal leave requests for all
absences. Further unauthorized absences will lead to disciplinary action, as stipulated in the
company handbook.
2. To Prince: As CEO, you hold a higher responsibility to uphold fairness and compliance. You
will undergo mandatory training on leadership and labor law compliance to prevent future
incidents. Any further breach will be escalated to the board for review.
3. To the Organization: We will introduce stricter policies on attendance monitoring and
grievance handling. HR will conduct quarterly audits to ensure compliance with labor laws.
Sarah: (relieved)
Thank you, HR. I hope this serves as a lesson for everyone.
[The employees nod in agreement. The tension in the room eases as the meeting concludes.
HR begins drafting a memo to distribute the new policies to the entire team.]
