I love way how Rizal looks in this picture! ♥ handsome! ♥.♥ |
After our school held the student council elections, all the students and teachers went to the assumption theater just to witness the play entitled "Batang Rizal" which was created by PETA. We just went there by the jeepneys provided by our two fellow classmates since our school is just a few kilometers away from the theater so we don't need a bus to rode for us to get there. Upon reaching the venue, we just sat down at the side of the road and waited for our turn to get in the main theater. And as we are still waiting under the hot afternoon sunlight striking on us, an accident happened involving a senior student of our school who was hitted by the back of a jeepney. Fortunately, he was not badly hurt. I think we waited for about an hour at the outside of the theater and that was not a boring one. Me and few of my classmates had fun just by making ourselves busy by playing some childish games that made us laugh.
And then, after waiting for almost an hour under the heat of the sun, finally we are now entering the theater. The line for the boys and girls are separated. As I entered the theater I was somehow not that overwhelmed by since it was not my first time that I saw it just unlike my other classmates who was amazed by the theater. The play started so alive that everyone focused on it. It was a musical-comedy play. The conflict started when the main boy Pepito was accused that he is the one who is responsible for the loss of the statue that was donated by the mayor of their town. The play features the different attitudes of the modern students and that made the play more interesting for us to watch. And then, the play features time traveling that brought Pepito back to the time when Jose Rizal or "Pepe" as they call is still alive. The person who acted as Pepe portrayed his character well. The old background musics that were used in the play could make you feel like you're in there, acting too. I loved the parts where there is a scene that the characters exchanged dialogues that were so funny and made the play more interesting. The play also included the popular gesture here in the Philippines, the "weh" which can give off a meaning that he/she doesn't believe what you are saying. Good job for the playwrights of the play because the made the "weh song" which made the audience not to be bored during the part where Pepe was talking with her sisters. From the beginning until the end, the play is good.
It lasted for about an hour and thirty minutes. Until we got back to school, all you can hear around is all about some scenes of the play that we have just watched. Thumbs up for the whole cast and crew of the play for making it that beautiful because the play made such a huge impact on us, the audience. And truly, the play made us remember who Jose Rizal, our national hero is.
