It&#x27;s a very powerful play,&quot; he added.</p><p>Salonga and De Leon will alternately play the sole character in &quot;Request sa Radyo,&quot; which Ramos said has been transposed into the Filipino context.</p><p>&quot;So Dolly and Lea will be playing Filipina caregivers who are working abroad, and we&#x27;re looking at what that life is,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;Request sa Radyo&quot; will have 20 performances -- 10 each for Salonga and De Leon -- at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Circuit Makati starting October 10.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2024/8/2/dolly-de-leon-excited-to-work-with-lea-salonga-in-upcoming-play-1902">Dolly de Leon excited to work with Lea Salonga in upcoming play</a></div><div><br/></div>
