Produced and presented by Kwento, “Ate Lovia” is a theatre play currently in development which is set to launch on 14 October 2021 to 6 November 2021 in Old Fitz Theatre, NSW, Australia.

In partnership with Redline Productions, “Ate Lovia” is directed by Kennet Moraleda and written by Jordan Shea. This drama revolves around the Ejercito family in suburban Sydney. Old Fitz Artistic Directors Cat, Con and Alex describe the story as “an adoring look at 90s nostalgia, amateur musical theatre, the resilience of family, and an incisive examination of our country’s deep-rooted racism amongst the rise of John Howard and Pauline Hanson.”

On 6 July, Kwento announced on their Facebook page the complete cast of the said stage play which includes Filipino and Australian theatre actors. Chaya Ocampo will play Lovia, the main character; Fellino Dolloso as Jovi, Lovia’s father; Joseph Raboy as Vergel, Lovia’s brother; and Anna Lee as Wendy, a former showgirl and a close ally of Lovia and Vergel.
