Plot: New Yorker in Tondo is a play about a girl named Kikay who has fallen in love with the concrete jungle, New York, and has forgotten about her native land, the Philippines. New Yorker in Tondo is a very comical play but also evokes a deep and serious message. In the story, the protagonist neglects her motherland and changes her ways, even her name, and adopts the lavish lifestyle of a New Yorker. She willingly leaves friends and vows, and her lover. As fate brings her back to her roots, she encounters different conflicts with the characters and in the end is found struggling to gain her lover back. A reconciliation awakens her to the reality.
Character: Kikay- a Tondo girl who has just returned from New York.
Mrs. M- Kikay’s mother
Tony- Kikay’s childhood friend in Tondo, engaged to Kikay before she left New York.
Totoy- childhood friend
Nena-childhood friend
Setting: In Tondo, at Kikay’s house
Theme: The message of the playwright is that love and love for the country wins. One should never forget to look back at where he came from. Love for one’s cherished traditions will always go beyond the love for worldly things and the lavish lifestyle. As for Kikay, she learns that “there really is no place like home.”
