Sobrang saya at walang aberyang nangyari sa radio guesting na nangyari kahapon ng gabi, - sa DZMM's MISMO radio show nina Jobert Sucaldito at Ahwel Paz- ng major cast ng dulang KANSER ng Gantimpala Theater Foundation.


Present nu'ng gabing iyon sina Carlo Manalac (as Crisostomo Ibarra), KL Dizon (as Maria Clara), Francis Matheu (as Elias), Jansen Aguilar (as Padre Salvi), at siyempre, si direk Frannie Zamora na siyang direktor ng nasabing dula.
Uupo rin sana sa guest panel sina Norman Penaflorinda (as Padre Damaso) at Jovito Bonita (as Kapitan Tiyago) pero hindi na kasya sa microphone space at mga upuan. Kaya nanood na lang sila ng live inside the radio booth of Jobert, kasama ang blogger na si Jobert Sucaldito.



Enjoy na enjoy ang baguhang si Jansen Aguilar habang nakipag-selfie siya kina Jobert at Ahwel (look at the photos na lang taken by blogger Robert), at sina Carlo at KL, tunay na pinahanga sina Jobert at Ahwel nu'ng kumanta sila ng live - ang "Awit Ng Pamamaalam" nina Maria Clara at Ibarra. Pinatunayan nina Carlo at KL sa buong madla na "tunay at de-kalidad" silang mga alagad ng teatro!

"Iba talaga ang mga tunay at totoo!", tili pa ni Ahwel Paz habang off-air ang programa dahil tunay siyang na-mesmerized sa galing ng pag-awit nina Carlo at KL.

"Agree ako diyan, Ahwel", tili din ni Jobert. "Mga Gantimpala artists 'yan. Hindi basta-basta na tulad ng iba diyan!"

Panay lang ang ngiti ni direk Frannie Zamora sa mga remarks nina Jobert at Ahwel. Si Francis Matheu naman, tahimik lang palagi pero hindi rin nakatiis na nakipag-selfie kina Jobert at Ahwel.

"Mataas ang respeto ko kay direk Frannie", naibulong pa ng isa sa closest friends ni blogger Robert na si Jobert Sucaldito. "Kaya I feel so honored na narito kayong lahat tonight sa radio show ko. Mga tunay kasi kayong ARTISTS".

Nangako pa si Jobert kay blogger Robert na manonood siyang muli ng KANSER sa media premiere nito sa darating na September 9 sa Star Theater near CCP Complex. Last year kasi ay ang alaga niyang si Michael Pangilinan ang gumanap na Crisostomo Ibarra sa dulang ito.

"I am so happy with all the outcome of our rehearsals, castings and promotions", huling sambit naman ni direk Frannie kay blogger Robert. "I've made the right choices- mula sa pagpili ng mga gaganap sa cast, sa schedules ng rehearsals and production team namin na very efficient, at pati na rin sa magandang suporta ng blogger na si Robert Silverio. Sabi niya, very curious na raw ang mga media people na dadalo sa media premiere namin sa September 9. I guarantee them na it's gonna be worth their time and efforts'.

Hindi mananalo si direk sa last Aliw Awards ng Best Director for a Musical para sa dulang ito kung hindi talagang de-kalibre ang kanyang paggawa. More power, direk!

MICHAEL PANGILINAN, ANG PAKIKIPAGLABAN NG ISANG BATANG AMA!

Nakakalungkot naman ang nangyayari ngayon sa personal na buhay ni Michael Pangilinan. Nakakaiyak kung tutuusin. Kung ikaw ay isang AMA, damang-dama mo. May pinaghuhugutan. Totoo ka.

We can feel for Michael. Sino ba namang AMA ang hindi masasaktan ngayon sa ginagawa sa kanya ng ina nu'ng mismong anak niya? Na tila ipinagmamaramot na 'yung bata, at hindi sumusunod sa mga napag-usapan na nilang visitation rights para doon sa bata?

Kaya hayan, idinaan na ngayon ni Michael ang lahat sa 'legal' na pamamaraan. Kinuha na ni Michael ang serbisyo ni Atty. Ferdie Topacio para mapag-usapan na ng maige ang "visitation rights" na hinihingi ni Michael para sa kanyang anak.

Tila yata kasi ayaw na nu'ng 'stepdad' nu'ng bata na makapiling pa nito si Michael. Kaya hayan, makikipaglaban na ng tuluyan ang batang ama - makapiling lamang ang kanyang anak!

Hanga kami kay Michael pagdating sa bagay na ito. Ipinaglalaban lamang niya ang kanyang karapatan bilang tunay na ama nung bata. Kaya sana ay pagbigyan naman siya.

“Hindi puwedeng ang stepdad niya ang magde-decide para sa baby ko. Maayos ang naging usapan namin ni Erin noon pero ni minsan ay hindi siya tumupad. Gusto niya ay dadalhin niya ang bata sa bahay pero iuuwi rin niya agad. Hindi ganoon ang naging usapan namin. Bakit pinahihirapan nila ako sa anak ko?” sambit pa ni Michael nu'ng minsang makaharap nito ang mga kaibigan sa press media.

Isa lang ang naging reaksyon ng manager ni Michael na si Jobert Sucaldito sa mga pangyayaring ito: "HAY, BUHAY.", were the very words that Michael's manager said on his Facebook account.

Oo nga naman.

CARLO, KL & FRANCIS: SUPERB CHEMISTRY OF THREE LEAD PERFORMERS IN THE PLAY “KANSER” (a theater rehearsal impressions...)

CARLO

FRANCIS

KL

FRANNIE

In-between breaks, you would see them joking around, laughing and playing like kids. But once director Frannie Zamora called their attention for the rehearsal, they automatically turned into who they really were- professional theater performers with angst and feelings.

Suddenly, their respective ‘auras’ would shine and glow, and intense emotions could be seen on their faces. Powerful, magnetic.

In the ACT 2 of the play’s rehearsal notes, a scene wherein both Elias and Crisostomo Ibarra were talking in a boat as they both paddled the river, actors Francis G. Matheu (as Elias) and Carlo S. Mañalac (as Crisostomo Ibarra) transformed into becoming the characters they were rehearsing that afternoon of August 23 at rehearsal venue of the AFP theater compound. It was so good to look at, what a perfect blend of chemistry between two theater actors. They mixed-in well and the varying personalities they showed were very theatrical. Wonderful.

Director Ariel Francisco (Frannie Zamora) didn’t have a hard time rehearsing that scene. Only technical errors and little adjustments on blocking and timing were needed.

Another scene showed Carlo S. Mañalac again as Ibarra in a dramatic scene with KL Dizon as Maria Clara. “Hugot na hugot ang dalawa!”, a blogger said to himself. “Parang relate na relate!”

Only to realize later on, from their co-actor in the play, that both Carlo and KL had suffered from lost loves in their personal lives, painful experiences on love at that. And they both could relate in that dramatic scene wherein Ibarra was bidding goodbye to Maria Clara.

KL Dizon’s eyes were so illuminating on that scene. She could use her eyes alone just to express a certain emotion. Perfect.

We noticed, too, the good team-up and rapport of both director Frannie and his assistant director Gean Allain de Leon in motivating their actors. They didn’t spoon-fed their actors on what to do or what NOT to do. But they both only gave inner messages and ‘captivations’ that could fully enhance an actor’s performance.

In the crowd scenes’ rehearsals, Norman Penaflorinda (who’s portraying the role of Padre Damaso in this play) stood out. His movements were wide, compelling and overwhelming- very theatrical, indeed, but pleasant to look at. Amidst the little fine dances on this play with music, Norman was like a swing that could zest-up a watcher’s melodic rhythms.

New theater actor Jansen Aguilar ( Paul Jansen Ong) easily caught our attention with his good and appealing stage presence. He’s portraying the role of Padre Salvi in this longest-running play by Gantimpala Theater Foundation.

More to come soon as we had promised our self to continue writing about this play which will have its opening day on September 2 at the AFP Theater. Kindly read below Kanser’s schedule of performances:

AFP THEATER: Sept. 2, 9am, 12nn/ Sept. 3, 9am, 12nn, 3pm
