It's been a month since we were told that we're gonna watch this particular play. A play about Rizal. About his teenage years and lifestyle. We watched this play at the Assumpta Theater. The stage play was entitled "Batang Rizal".
Pepe and Pepito, the main characters, did a very good job in acting and presenting the young life of Rizal. Pepe was the name of the batang Rizal in the play. And Pepito was a typical student in his school. They have this culminating activity which is the Buwan ng Wika that's why they mostly talked about Jose Rizal. It was when Pepito broke the statue that was supposed to be given by the Mayor to their school, that the real play had started.
Pepito was hiding, trying to figure out a way how to fix the mess he made. Then, there was this book, a magical one. I think it was "Ang Mahiwagang Aklat". It made Pepito go back to Pepe's time. He was like, "Nasan ako?", "Paano ako nakarating dito?", "Sino sila?", "Bakit ganyan ang suot nila?". Something like that. You'll see how amazed and shocked he was at that time. Then, he met Pepe's family. Pepe's sisters called him Pepito and he thought that they know him. Her sisters were shocked because Pepe doesn't like to be called 'Pepito' but Pepito insist. He made a lot of blahs here and there. He even taught them the word 'WEH' and such. Even sang of the so-called 'Weh Song'. That was a funny part back then. When the real Pepe (batang Rizal) came back with their mother, they told their mother immediately about what happened. They also called him Pepito that made him irritated hecause he really really don't want that nickname. Pepe was shocked to know that for he was with their mother the whole time. And when Pepe 1 and Pepe 2 met, a war came. Kidding! Shocked to see each other but Pepito was rather amazed for he met the batang Rizal. They talked about a lot of stuff and eventually, they became friends.
Pepito also talked a lot. About his studies and hobbies. After some time of talking, they came to the point of talking the present. Of course Pepito would love to tell a lot of stories only if Pepe's wiling to listen. That's when Pepito started to narrate the present time until to his problem. He asked Pepe if he could help him and he answered he would love to. They didn't know how to go back to the present if only the book did not do this 'ilaw-ilaw' thingy. "The book can help us!", said the both of them. And they were right. The book helped them to go back in the present. When the door in the present opened, one of the funny scenes was the "tsinelaaaaass kooooooo!" shout of Pepe because the other pair of his slippers was left. Now, they're in Pepito's school. And the statue was still a big mess. They don't know how to fix it. And there was this 3 kids who bullies Pepito, a lot. They asked who's the boy next to him and it started a funny introduction. (The conversation will be in Filipino.)
Pepito: Siya nga pala ang kaibigan kong si Pepe.
Pepe: Kamusta kayo? Ako nga pala si Pepe, ang batang Rizal.
3 bata tumawa. Hahahaha.
Bata1: Ikaw? Batang Rizal? Hahaha. Ako si Boni, ang batang Bonifacio.
Bata2: Ako naman si Ella, ang batang Tandang Sora.
Bata3: Ako naman si .. *Hulk Mode* Aargh! Aargh! Wala lang.
That was the most funny scene and I laughed hard back then. Then things went by not so smoothly because the Mayor told them that if the statue won't be seen, he will close the school. And because of that, teamwoooorkk!! Before that happened, Pepito accidentally told Pepe that he was going to die at the Luneta Park when he become older.
It was like 'tampong bata' because Pepe walked out. He never imagined that he'd die later on in his life. But then he realized that it was okay even if he'll die in the future because it is for the sake of others. He told the other students that they should study hard, dream big and aim for their goals in life because even if they'll die, atleast they became happy. And also to treasure evey moment in their lives with their family and friends. A funny play yet, a learning one. A must watch play.
