Corazon Remigio; Uuwi Na ang Nanay Kong si Darna by Job Pagsibigan, based on Edgar Samar’s short story for children; Jose’s Dong-Ao, a sequel of sort to his novel Mass; Si Maria Isabella at ang Guryon ng mga Tala by Eljay Castro Deldoc, was inspired by Kite of Stars by Dean Francis Alfar; and Lumbay ng Dila by Genevieve L.
