Not Just Super Powers

those in need. More than a battle of good vs. evil, Kapitan Sino examines Rogelio’sresponse to heroism at the expense of
his happiness and family,the consequence of people's overdependence on a hero,
andtheir inherent nature of being abusive and selfish.

the socially relevant contemporary play’s visual delight and core lessons on
pseudo heroes, sacrifices, and change-seeking people. Omampo is also excited

Teatro Tomasino.
When asked about what keeps the production
together, “Innate talent from each one of us who share the same vision for the
play, and who share the same passion for our arts, ‘yun ‘yung nagpapagalaw sa amin (those are the things that move us)”, Omampo shared.
