ANOTHER OLDER CAST OF "EL FILIBUSTERISMO" PLAY

IT'S DR. JOSE RIZAL'S SECOND AND LAST NOVEL THAT REVEALED EVERYTHING, AND JUSTIFIED ALL THE MEANS.

THE CONTINUING JOURNEY OF ONE MAN'S QUEST (CREATED UPON THE CHARACTER OF ONE SIMOUN, WHO WAS REALLY CRISOSTOMO IBARRA, AND WHOM MANY HISTORIANS ASSUMED TO DR. JOSE RIZAL HIMSELF) FOR FREEDOM AGAINS THE SPANISH RULERS IN THE PHILIPPINES, SET IN 18TH CENTURY PERIOD.

A NOVEL WHICH WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME, AND TRANSFORMED INTO A STAGEPLAY BY WRITER JOEMAR FLERAS.

AND BECAME GANTIMPALA THEATER FOUNDATION'S MOST LOW-KEY THEATER PRODUCTION, INCLUDED IN ITS LINE-UP OF CLASSICS PERFORMED YEARLY AND PRESENTED TO SELECTED SCHOOLS BY GTF (GANTIMPALA THEATER FOUNDATION).

EXECUTED AND MAGICALLY PRESENTED BY DIRECTOR JOSE JEFFREY CAMANAG (WHOM WE ADMIRED SO MUCH AFTER WATCHING HIS "DAAN NG KRUS" SENAKULO--RMS*) - "EL FILIBUSTERISMO", THE PLAY, REACHED NEW HORIZONS- DEEPER AS IT WAS, AND CHALLENGED THE MINDS OF THE YOUNG.

WITH A CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED PERFORMANCE OF ACTOR ROEDER CAMANAG AS SIMOUN, A RARE KIND OF AN ACTING PERFORMANCE OFFERED SO MUCH GOOD IMPRESSIONS.

AND LASTLY, WE DO FEEL, THIS PLAY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE "KANSER" PLAY. AND WHY? BECAUSE IN THIS PLAY, THERE'S REDEMPTION, THERE'S HOPE, THERE'S A BETTER LIGHT TO FOLLOW...

IN A NATION'S QUEST FOR ITS TRUE IDENTITY...

AND A MAN'S UNDYING LOVE

FOR THE SAKE OF FILIPINOS

AND HUMANITY....



FOREVER.
