Probably every cliche you can find in our local teenage fiction is portrayed in this spoof of Sassa titled “Sun and Moon.” As the female lead, it stars Princess chancing an encounter with a guy that is way out of her league.

As the “bida” in a television drama
Sassa wouldn’t dare miss poverty as an overused theme in highlighting the growth of a leading figure in every Filipino teleseryes. Hence, her parody of a province girl exploring the city for new opportunities could not be more hilarious than it is. Moreover, a rich leading man whose parents oppose a poor girl as their daughter-in-law completes the spice of this plot.
