Love stories are one of the country’s most iconic expressions of art. Whether it’s the love yearned for between Crisóstomo Ibarra and Maria Clara, or the love stories on the silver screen, to be Filipino is to talk about love. Walang Aray, a love story between two people on the surface that expands to look at the love everyone else around them fights for, is one of those works that announces itself as one of the definitive Philippine love stories staged in modern-day.
