Scene 1: Introduction – Two Friends, Two Paths
[Narrator steps forward]
N:
Do you believe in the saying, “you are what you eat? Well, for me, if I eat ice cream, I don’t get sloppy, I get
happier and sweeter. Now, meet these polar opposite friends. One that is active, healthy, and full of energy. The
other… not so much.
*sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows by Lesley Gore.
[HP is jogging, stretching. Angel floats nearby.]
A (cheering, coaching HP):
Push it, HP! Remember, every jump rope, every push-up… it’s one step closer to a healthy life!
HP (smiling, panting):
Thanks, Angel! I’ll keep going!
*Oggy and the Cockroaches - Intro (Slowed + Reverb) by Macro Beats
[UP is sitting on couch, surrounded by chips, soda, and junk food. Devil whispers in his ear.]
D (sly, whispering):
Another slice of cake… a soda… come on, you know you want it!
UP (laughing):
Hehe… yes! Life is too short to eat salad!
N:
As you can see, our friends represents the paths in living our lives, choosing to walk on the road to living healthy
or unhealthy. I know most of you will choose the healthy path but what if you are blindfolded in choosing a path?
and accidentally, coincidentally, or purposefully chose the unhealthy path?
Scene 2: Consequences of Bad Habits
[UP lying in bed, looking weak. Mother enters angrily.]
M (Bisaya, scolding):
Oy! Ngano man ka ing-ani? ga sige nalang ka ga-kaon og junk food, sigarilyo, ug alcohol! Pag-ayo imong lawas oi!
UP (weakly):
Ma… I feel so sick… I can’t even get up…
M (Bisaya, scolding): AH pag hilom dira Euan ga dako lang na imong tiyan
[UP calls HP on the phone.]
UP:
Friend… I… I need help… I feel so weak…
HP (determined):
Don’t worry. I’m coming! Angel, let’s go help him!
[HP and Angel arrive. They notice a dark aura around UP—the Devil.]
HP:
Whoa… that aura is… bad. Angel, can you deal with this devil?
A (serious):
Leave it to me. It’s time to take action…
Scene 3: The Angel vs Devil Fight – Boxing Match Intro
[Referee steps forward, holding microphone, dramatic spotlight on the “ring”]
R (excited, announcer voice):
Ladies and gentlemen… welcome to the ultimate battle for your health!
In the right corner, standing 6 feet tall, glowing with light, representing strength, vitality, and GOOD HABITS…
give it up for… the Angel!
[Angel raises fists, waves to audience, dramatic halo glow effect]
R (pauses for effect):
And in the left corner, lurking in darkness, 6 feet of pure temptation and bad habits… the master of sugar, junk
food, and laziness… make some noise for… the Devil!
[Devil flexes, smirks, waves trash food, dramatic smoke effect if possible]
R (serious, raising hand for fight):

You think you can defeat me? I live in their bad habits—sugar, laziness, junk food!

People deserve health… and I will fight for it!
[They exchange slow-motion punches, dodges. Each punch has dramatic pauses and lines.]

I’m unbeatable! Everyone loves me!
A:
Not if it hurts your health!
[Angel raises fist for the final move.]

SDG 3 UPPERCUT!!!
[Devil dramatically falls. Negative aura disappears.]
R:
And that’s the end of the battle!
Scene 4: Recovery and Advice

Friend… all those bad habits were harming you. But it’s not too late. Drink water, eat fruits and veggies, exercise,
and rest well.
UP (nodding, motivated):
You’re right. I want to change.
[Time skip: UP is now healthy, lifting weights, eating salad, laughing with HP.]
