Co-founder of Dalanghita Productions and playwright of Isanlibong Taon, Pertee Briñas said this when asked about the general message of the festival:

“Kaya mahugot iyung mga tao kasi everyone has a lot of pain. Everyone becomes jaded. Everyone tries to protect their feelings. Kailangan nilang maalala at makita nila iyung mga sarili nila ‘nung nagmahal sila. At bakit ka ba nagmamahal? Nagmamahal ka ba in return? Nagmamahal ka ba dahil uso? Bakit ka ba nagmamahal?”

“Bakit ka ba nagsimulang magmahal in the first place? Baka naman matanggal iyung mga hugot mo. Baka iyung pain na matagal mo ng dinadala ay maiayos mo. We urge people to think about the aspect itself, of falling in love, of unconditional love.”
