The 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption which devastated numerous provinces in the Philippines highly influenced Bonifacio's craft. Through the University of the Philippines College of Medicine's advice, the Teatrong Mulat showed Pinatubo's traumatized children their plays to help the children in coping up with the horrors caused by the second most powerful volcanic eruption in the 20th century. In the next few years, the theater company performed in 30 refugee or relocation sites in Pampanga and Zambales. Each site would have approximately 100 children.
