Three plays of Set A of the 21st Virgin Lab Fest were grouped under this title: βPassword 123, Pilipinas 321β by Anthony Kim Vergara, βHuman Rights Story of the Yearβ by Elijah Felice Rosales, and βPatayin Ang Mga Surotβ by Floyd Scott Tiogangco.
Password123, Pilipinas321 centers on Blackteam, a shady underground cyberspace operation disguised as a technical support center that actually functions as a massive disinformation machine. They were visited by a powerful government client seeking illegal cyber capabilities. A tech-thriller that pulls back the curtain on the βtroll farmβ phenomenon.
Human Rights Story of the Year revolves around a reporter who is about to receive an international award on her coverage of extra judicial killings (EJK).

Patayin Ang Mga Surot occurs on the last night of Rodrigo Duterteβs presidency. While an Oplan Tokhang operation unfolds, tension builds as a couple conducts their own extermination of bedbugs.
