The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) proudly announces the newest—and wildest—addition to the iconic Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank universe.
After two blockbuster films and one hit series, the franchise is finally leaping from screen to stage with its live theatrical installment, entitled Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4. The show will run from June 19 to August 16, 2026, at the PETA Theater Center.

Bringing the beloved satire to an entirely new medium, PETA’s Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4 promises a chaotic, sharp-witted, and laugh-out-loud look at the world of Philippine theater-making. In true Septic Tank fashion, the show takes audiences behind the curtain—then tears it down—exposing the ego, ambition, absurdity, and beautiful mess that fuels the industry today.
The show’s official synopsis reads:
PETA unveils its newest satire, a theatrical adaptation of “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank,” as a chaotic, hilarious meta-comedy about ego, art, and the messy reality of making Philippine theater today. From macro to micro, from venue problems to ticket prices, from what the subject matter is to what’s on Broadway, from what we love to what we hate about theater, from the past, present, and future of our beloved art.
Returning to the role only she can play is the incomparable Eugene Domingo as herself, joined by everybody else in the theater world as themselves.
Serving as the franchise’s boldest evolution, this stage adaptation embraces PETA’s signature approach: entertainment paired with razor-sharp cultural commentary. Expect a riotous experience that reflects the chaos of real-life theater-making while preserving the company’s teeth—its commitment to socially relevant, politically aware, and artistically daring storytelling.

As the home of smash-hit originals like Rak of Aegis, Walang Aray, and the musical adaptation of One More Chance, PETA is poised to deliver a production that’s as groundbreaking as the films that inspired it. With the franchise’s original creators, Marlon Rivera and Chris Martinez, and directed by Maribel Legarda, this installment is said to be as iconic as its predecessors, only bigger, bolder, and even more meta.
