AGot is by far my favorite Filipino musical since I have only watched barely enough to say a few. I love how art can trigger all types of feelings out of me. How this art did that and how much I can relate to it is indescribable. It gave the perfect amount of humor while keeping the societal issues dignified.
I am one who likes to see all sides of the story and give a little bit of reasoning on why things had happened. I also do that to properly give my personal judgement on to something. I also like putting myself on other people’s shoes just to try to understand why they do what they do. I tried to make an attempt to put myself in Ferdinand Marcos’ shoes and those who abuse their powers. My mind blew. It hurt like hell. I dug into the deepest depths of my thinking capacity in order to justify what they did. Nothing came out as if I had been kept in a dark cave without a torch in hand. But I knew my difficulty to think of possible justifications for their actions is what kept me human. What happened during the martial law gave me more proofs and reasons on why I sometimes hate my own kind, and how disgusting and evil a person can get.
As a youth and a student in the society, my role is to ensure that I keep myself educated and that I STAY WOKE. And by going to plays like AGot, I did just as that.
