THE PEOPLE’S RATING The two-hour play was filled with audiences having diverse yet positive feedbacks. Brother Butch Alcudia, one of the audiences who were seated in the front row during the third showing, praised how the drama was so intense that he got carried away in most of the scenes. “I salute the actors and actresses. It was really great, and for me, it was the best play I’ve seen so far in my life,” the USLS brother resident said. Theatre Professor, Dionzon proudly claimed that the class’ high interest in the craft of theatre made the whole thing a huge success.The class was sincerely attracted to it that the discipline of theatre was easily absorbed. As for Kevin Manalo who watched in three consecutive days, ‘the play has become better as the days go by.’ For university students, April Tabefranca and Melchor Alova who almost lost hope if they can still watch the play due to a long line they said that, ‘the waiting is worth it.’ REASON REVELATION REACTION Tago emphasizes the preservation of Razon’s treasure. It’s not just about the golds or properties that they have but for their heir and youngest member, Manny. It was witnessed on how the girls did their best in protecting Manny despite the sadness and struggles they felt. They might have died but their love for Manny never gets to an end even if Manny had become old and had grandchildren. The story emphasizes the value of family despite the difficulties as it also inculcates the history on how well our ancestors become tough to protect their land and loved ones. Success only comes to those who experienced the worst of the worst. This was experienced both by the Razon family and the ABCO3 Productions. For the Razon family, they had succeeded in protecting and preserving their treasure, Manny. As for the ABCO3 team, the sleepless nights and the terrible paranormal fear of the Gallaga Theatre each practice in the wee hours and the strenuous tasks that exhausted everyone during the pre-production were what exactly made the play victorious. xxxxx HUBIN MAGAZINE 12
