Heroes, whether fictional, mythical, or historical, have a hold and magic, elicit awe and wonder, stir emotions, and fuel and ignite hope and inspiration.

Cinema, literature, and theater are the platforms that gave us Darna, Avengers, Justice League, Guardians of the Galaxy, John Wick, Fernando Poe Jr., and many more. Modern-day heroes, such as overseas Filipino workers, teachers, medical practitioners, soldiers, and the many ordinary men and women with extraordinary feats, are staples as well in traditional and online news, and other forms of mass communication mediums.

All these questions are answered head-on by Monumento 1896, a play by FLP Productions, written and directed by Rodel Mercado, adapted from the play written by Jenny Simon. What makes Monumento 1896 work big time is the weaving of its narrative, easy to comprehend, clever dialogue with attributions to people, events, places, and lingo of the present.

Another plus factor of the play are the actors who became heroes. Standouts are Rey Correjado as Andres Bonifacio, he had the gravitas of the Supremo, and his costume as the Gat was historically accurate. Asean Gabat as Lapu-Lapu had a stellar stage presence, brawn, and body. And the Diwata, Dyn Atiche was a hit, especially her beauty and lightness, the dropping of punchlines on point, and she delivers the most important messages to the captive and elated student audiences.
