Trip to Tagaytay is a short story in comics form set in a future Philippines replete with flying cars and multimedia wrist-devices.
In this vision of the future, popular actor Aga Muhlach is the aging President, the Eraserheads are on a Reunion Tour that spans the stars and Philippine Spacelines is offering a 50% discount on Moon Travel. We follow the musings of a young man as he journeys through the city, headed for the Grand Liwayway Station, where he plans to take the cheapest train out, since they just opened the Tagaytay Ocean Tunnel connecting to Cebu.
All the while, he is composing a missive addressed to his love, who is living on a faraway Orbital Space Station.
