5 Ang Tatay mong Kalbo

As the long time adviser of Teatre Phileo in APC, I required my EEP students to watch the play, Ang Tatay mong Kalbo by Isagani R. Cruz, PhD. It is an adaptation of the French play, The Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco.

This latest staging of the play was held last October 9 and 10 at MPH1 of APC. I invited the playwright Isagani R. Cruz (photo below shows him with the ERC faculty during his seminar at APC, READ or DIE) but unfortunately, he was in the US and could not watch the play.


It is always a pleasure to collaborate with esteemed writer and educator Dr. Isagani R. Cruz. Thank you for letting Teatro Phileo stage your play/adaptation of Ang Tatay mong Kalbo.

  1. Love the humor. But this somehow piss me off because it didn't gave me a perfect score in my worlit quiz because of it's confusing and nonsense concept but i still love it.

  3. It was absolutely awesomely insane. The point was not to read into the lines of the characters but to enjoy it as face value. The humour was on point and I found myself laughing throughout the whole program. Great job, Teatro Phileo!;)

  4. The play was really well done and the humor was really relatable and good. The actors were also really amazing as regards to their craftsmanship.

  7. The long hours of waiting outside of MPH1 was worth it. The play was amazing. It was funny, hilarious even.
    Even though at the start of the play, I got so confused as to what they are doing but maybe that's how the play works. Especially because it is an absurd play.
    Hope to watch more plays like this in APC because it really inspired a lot of people to join the "Teatro Phileo", they're just waiting for the next screening.
