10 Reasons to Watch Mabining Mandirigma

Mabining Mandirigma About:



It is a steampunk musical foregrounding the intellectual heroism of Apolinario Mabini, who in the second phase of Philippine revolution, displayed an uncommon vision, a warrior’s spirit, and a principled character, as he struggled against all odds to enjoin his countrymen to go beyond considerations of class, clan, economic gain and personal ambition, so they could think and act as citizens of one nation. In partnership with National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCAA) to close the year-long celebration of the 150th birthday of Apolinario Mabini.

 Spoiler Alert!!!

10 reasons why watching Mabining Mandirigma should be in your to-do list for July:

1) It's directed by Chris Millado. Enuf said.


2) The music and songs are so cool even those who do 'flip
top' can relate. No, I am not joking.

3) I never thought President Aguinaldo could be so good in singing. Oo na, i never thought President Aguinaldo could be oh sooooo hot. Juice colored, gusto kong magpaturo kumanta kahit tone deaf ako.

4) Price : pasok sa banga kung student ka. Mind you, CCP Little Theater lang naman ang venue. Dun pa lang jackpot
ka na.

5) Babae ang gumanap na Apolinario Mabini. BAKIT?! yun ang dahilan bakit dapat panuorin (am soo impressed and bigay na bigay pa rin si ate kahit sabi nung friend ko na si Axl Guinto mukhang may sakit. Yan ang professional.)


6) You don't need to have 'uno' in Philippine History to appreciate it.

7) Who would have thought Pedro Paterno and the Ilustrados could be oh-so-funky?

8) Ang 3 macho na all around back up sa major major scenes. Impossibleng hindi ka mapatingin sa kanilang synchronized swimming ,este moves, at tila kulang sa tela
na outfit (eh bagay naman kasi fit na fit sina koya) kapag pumasok na sa stage.

9) Yung 'imaginary character' na si Pepe na hanggang sa lumabas ako ng CCP Little Theater ay napapaisip ako kung talagang imaginary character lang o hindi.

10) Ang set design na astig na sinabayan pa ng magandang lighting. Fave ko yung part na may led flashlight (hindi dahil naka skimpy all white si Pres. Aguinaldo ah!)

Sabi ko 10 lang,pero last na. At ito sa tingin ko ang pinakamabigat na dahilan bakit: Pupukawin ng dulang ito ang iyong pagkapilipino sa paraang pagpapakita ng pagkakatulad ng nangyari nuon sa mga nangyayari sa ngayon. Magaan panuorin,matatawa ka,mamangha,pero sa bandang huli,malalaman mo na oo nga, may magagawa pa tayong mga Pilipino para maging tunay na malaya.

MABINING MANDIRIGMA start from July 4, 2015, and will run until July 19, 2015.

For tickets and other information, please call 8321125, ask for CCP Box office or Tanghalang Pilipino.

Maria Ozawa wants Pinoys in next porn film

MANILA, Philippines - Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa wants Filipinos as her screen (and bed) partners in her next movie. Ozawa said in her Facebook page on Wednesday that an audition will be held for Filipino men in January. "Mabuhay! Philippines!" Ozawa said. "I bought Globe sim!....audition for the bukkake will be in January," she added. She did not say if she is already in Manila but rumors of her visit to the country made rounds on Internet forums and adult blogs just before Christmas. "Hello guys! Who wants bukkake? Audition will be on January 2012," she repeated in her Facebook page, which is linked to her official blog. The post has received more than 10,000 "likes," 535 "shares" and more than 2,400 replies. However, no one has yet to take up her offer as of posting time. Ozawa has made several dozen adult videos and non-porn movies. Her last adult video was released in April 2010. The same year, Ozawa had t

I understand now why Filipinos are always craving for that big change in our country. It’s because the history keeps on repeating and we are so tired of dealing with the same corrupted government. Yes, corruption and the greediness over the power and authority has been the country’s biggest dilemma even before the very first Philippine government was established! Flying voters?  Bribery?  Treason?
