"Puso 3" is a digital trilogy: "Lost and Found", "Siklo" and "Kulam". "Lost and Found," is an off-beat, out-of-the-ordinary story about a unique journey and surreal realizations.

"Siklo," on the other hand, is an inspiring tale of optimism. It tackles domestic violence, with the victim joining a support group whose leader the victim becomes close to, sharing her heartaches and desires with her. A striking twist will make the victim realize that her life need not end in despair, knowing that after each love lost, life goes on. "Kulam," is a mystic and intriguing story about love and black magic.
