The New One Minute Manager

You are entering an alternate world, where the Philippines didn't achieve its independence but remained a US colony. You will meet four people living in Neo Manila, where the government is repressive, prohibited drugs are legal, and crime is rampant. Undesirables are abducted and imprisoned in the Valley, which is a hidden prison island. A secret society called the Sons of Lapu-Lapu is working to undermine the government and has spies within the Valley and the governmental ranks. A young man and a woman are victims of circumstance and caught between two sides. She initially betrays him but made amends later and became lovers. The government leader (and main villain) have thought of a bold plan to use witchcraft in creating a perfect Utopian society for him and the one-percenters in the colony: the New Gods. The remaining unworthy would not be included and thus eliminated. The soul of Neo Manila and the whole colony is at stake. Will the Sons of Lapu-Lapu or the New Gods prevail in the end? Who will you pledge your allegiance to?

You go back to begging for scraps, but we both know you won’t, because you want someone to own you, Ethan. You just don’t know it yet.” I signed the papers. …………………. I never thought my life will turn out like this, twenty-five, broke, and desperate. With my sister’s hospital bills climbing, and no one left to turn to, I was willing to sell my pride for survival.

The mere existence of a certain power could stir up fear, awe, hatred and envy depending on who percieved it and how they do.
