Land & Edifice: FEATURES

Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 4: Oh S*t! Itโ€™s Live sa Cheter!* is a sharp theatrical satire produced by the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA). Running from June 19 to August 16, 2026, at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City, it shifts the hit satirical franchise from film to the live stage.

Follows a fictionalized, ego-driven Eugene Domingo as she attempts to stay culturally relevant by staging a chaotic, modern adaptation of Aurelio Tolentinoโ€™s 1903 anti-colonialist play Kahapon, Ngayon at Bukas on a boat in the middle of the West Philippine Sea.

Written by Chris Martinez and directed by Maribel Legarda. The cast includes Eugene Domingo alongside Marlon Rivera, JC Santos, Stella Caรฑete-Mendoza, Meann Espinosa, Joshua Lim So, and an ensemble cast.

While previous installments targeted indie films, mainstream cinema, and historical revisionism, this fourth entry turns its lens on the pretensions, egos, and chaotic reality of making theater in the Philippines.

Things you will only find in Bonifacio Hight Street, BGC, Taguig City.

The Portal

Asia's first global Portal sculpture is located on 5th Avenue at Bonifacio High Street in BGC (right outside Central Square Mall). It features a 24/7 unfiltered livestream that lets you wave and interact in real-time with people standing in front of identical portals in cities like Dublin, Philadelphia, and Vilnius.

The screen rotates the live feed every few minutes to connect with different international cities. There is no audio to encourage non-verbal communication like waving, dancing, or holding up signs. You can potentially connect with people in Lithuania, Poland, Ireland, the US, and the UK.

3D Billboard

The Philippines' first naked-eye 3D LED Billboard is located at One Bonifacio High Street along 5th Avenue in BGC. Spanning 400 square meters, this massive L-shaped screen uses anamorphic illusion technology to make hyper-realistic digital ads look like they are breaking out of the screen without the need for 3D glasses.

Due to its success, a second 3D screen was added right across the street at the Central Square building, turning this intersection into a major visual spectacle.
