Wurtzbach will read the story of ‘Maria Makiling’, which is about a nymph named Maria who teaches two men a lesson.

Rubio, the writer and director of Pixar’s ‘Float’, will lend his voice to ‘The Centaur and the Elves’, which is about a boy who gets lost on his way home and meets a centaur and an elf.
