The Katipunan: Mga Anak ng Bayan experience

MANILA, Philippines - Dagupan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Laguna and Bulacan were the five provincial destinations of Gantimpala Theater’s Katipunan: Mga Anak ng Bayan. More than 100,000 audiences have experienced the Joel Lamangan and Jun Pablo directed musical with Sandino Martin as Andres Bonifacio, Anna Fegi and Rita de Guzman as Gregoria de Jesus and RJ Jimenez as Emilio Jacinto.

Thrilled were the people who watched the musical described as “Andres Bonifacio in steroids,” by blogger Michael King Urieta.
