NO.5 "ANG TATAY MONG KALBO"




Last Saturday, my classmates and I watched the theater play "ANG TATAY MONG KALBO". It was one of
the requirements in our EEP subject. It was my first time to watch a theater play, that's why I didn't know
 what to expect. "Ang tatay mong kalbo" was written by Isagani Cruz and directed by Levvie Congson and 
Cled Fransis Laranang.



The characters are Mr.and Mrs.Santos they are sweet husband and wife but they argued sometimes 
because of the nonsense they are talking about. Other characters are Mr.and Mrs. Reyes they are husband 
and wife but when they first meet they don't remember each other after, until  later on they realised that 
they are husband and wife. Other characters are Maria, who is a maid of Mr.and Mrs. Santos. She's really 
fat but funny. Hepe is a friend of Mr.and Mrs. Santos. When he visited Mr.and Mrs. Santos' house he was
 telling lots of story and suddenly Maria appeared and they recognised each other. They are lovers. Mr.and
 Mrs. Santos told Hepe that Maria is just a maid but Hepe still accepted Maria because he loves her.
When I was watching the play at first I was really confused. I didn't understand what they were talking about,
and the fact that they kept repeating their lines confused me even more.


The duration of the play is about 2 hours. I tired to understand and get what is their point. I didn't get why
they have to express their thoughts to the audience. But later on i realised that the play could somehow be
reflecting real life. Sometimes there are things that we do not understand and sometimes the repetitiveness
of our daily life bores us. But this only teaches us to be patient and to try and understand things as best we
 can because sometimes we might thinks what's happening is all nonsense but later on we'll find out that
it has a meaning or a lesson to be learned. 

 The confusion becomes a  challenge, boredom becomes excitement and nonsense becomes entertainment.
When you looked back in our life maybe we'll smile and tell ourselves that i've learned from my mistakes and
now you will be matured enough to choose what you want in you life..
That is life, sometimes we feel confused,we don't understand everything, we get bored but despite all of
that life is really full of joy, colourful, and entertainment.
