Ang Dagat Na Nalulunod
directed by Khavn De La Cruz, 1973-; produced by Khavn De La Cruz, 1973-; performed by Mei Bastes, fl. 2009-2012 (Philippines: Privately Published), 6 mins
I am the drowning sea. Waxing, waning, vanishing, surrendering, yearning, drunk, helpless against your indifference, with no way out. You are the shore that never saves. I will wait for you to turn into a wave. And we will waltz. Drown together.

Literature is a surreal narrative poem that revolves around a revolver, a forlorn man, heavy traffic, and a book. It surveys the elements of a short story as seen through the eyes of a semi-omniscient speaker, who observes but not moralizes, who talks about possibilities but not the truths, who relishes in both the reportage and the investigation.

'Philippine Bliss' tells the tale of six modern-day Filipinos living in a single neighborhood, a housing project called B.L.I.S.S., started by the former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos during the Martial Law era. These people, whose names allude to familiar characters from Jose Rizal's novels, narrate their private yet vivid stories of loss, longing, and Third World despair, all intersecting in a public arena that is their packed community. Theirs are lives seen with an oftentimes comic eye, unabashedly bound by a wild and brimming sense of Filipino hope.
