MANILA -- "Mabining Mandirigma" returns to the Cultural Center of the Philippines in this fourth staging of the multi-awarded musical to kick off Tanghalang Pilipino’s 33rd theater season.
We see many sides of the hero: the intellectualism as Mabini advises Aguinaldo as part of his closest advisers; the stubbornness as he tries to rein in the new Congress dangerously playing with newfound powers and freedom; his frustration as he and Aguinaldo disagree over what to do with the new congress and the Americans; the affectionate side as he eventually sees his loyal aide-de-camp, Pepe, as an adopted son; the world weariness as all his efforts and discussion with the Americans come to...
Pepe, Mabini’s assistant, is given much levity by Paw Castillo. Always on the sidelines and behind Mabini’s wheelchair, Pepe transitions from a mere assistant, to a mentee, and to a sort of adopted son. Castillo gets to let loose in an all-new rap sequence in this run as Mabini and Pepe make fun of the ilustrados' snobbery and elitism in one of the funnier sequences of the musical.
Another sequence revolved around Mabini’s delirious dream as he was imprisoned by the Americans, a musical within the musical lit only by flashlights on stage, giving it an eerie and surreal effect.
