Here's Another Run of "TABING ILOG: The Musical" This 2024

We celebrate good things, including this new run of "Tabing Ilog the Musical" run which starts November 8 up until December 1 this 2024. 

PETA's Melvin Lee says "Who would have thought the pandemic would become a surprise fruitful partnership between a very seasoned theater group and Star Magic. Even now, some of them have already done several productions. Now we have them and more Star Magic artists in another run of Tabing Ilog the Musical."

Tabing Ilog is something that I have religiously watched in ABSCBN to follow the lives of Eds and Rovic, Corrine and Badong, Fonzy and George, James and the rest of the friends who made life interesting in the early 2000's. They made it into a musical a couple years ago (during the pandemic). This year, the reprisal warrants a few changes in the story, the music and the cast. Although most of them have been in it, cast changes was seen something essential to tie in a lot of relationships in the story line, even if it means a couple veteran "Marites" would play the part.

I remember them teasing this back in the Star Magic Hot Summer event. During the mediacon, we saw Andi Abaya, Kiara Takahashi, Vino Mabalot, Jordan Andrews, Kobe Brown, Miah Canton, Anji Salvacion, BGYO Akira, Benedix Ramos, Sheena Belarmino, and Vivoree. Although BINI Jhoanna Robles wasn't there, she is going to be part of the cast, she just had prior commitments (we all know how busy they've been if you watch the BINI documentary). Adrian Lindayag was also there, something I was so happy about since he's done a LOT of good roles in movies I've covered.

Vivoree came in first, and obliged us with a few details about doing the iconic role of Eds in the musical.

Meanwhile, here's the mediacon proper with the rest of the cast. I could feel how excited they were and how much has changed since their initial outing.

A revamped cast that's full of confidence really would spell success, now that they're doing another installment, expect that they're going to do it a little different, with bigger and better music, plus really great acting improvements for most of them. If you're planning to watch it again, or just new to the scene, you can now get tickets at Ticketworld. There will be around 2 shows a day, and again, will run from November 8 to December 1st. Come reminisce with the cast and have fun at PETA Theater. Your Star Magic stars will be there, including remarkable PETA theater regulars to make sure you're going to enjoy every minute of it.

Popular Internet celebrity, YouTube Star, Businessman and Philanthropist Wilbert Tolentino aka "KaFreshness Sir Wil" just had a huge proclamation event at the Pateros indoor gym together with the whole AHON MAHIRAP slate. They represent the marginalized communities and aim to alleviate the lives of the poor through projects that promote social justice and equal opportunities for all.

This was also a way to introduce them to the public, get to know who they are and what they could contribute and push for their initiatives.

Here it is on video, by the way... several celebrities came in to entertain them. We've seen world class singer Hannah Precillas, host and comedian Pepita Smith, Sugar Mercado, comic Jason Gainza, and the country's eccentric online seller Madam Inutz.

If you believe in social justice, financial literacy and economic empowerment, AHON MAHIRAP is pushing for this cause. They plan to put in social safety nets for the vulnerable ones in society, including the youth, LGBT and the marginalized ones. They also want to equip individuals with needed knowledge through financial education, and training. They are also keen in supporting SME's, have grants and a full blown mentorship program. This entails job creation and green projects. Though they admit, this wouldn't be successful without your help, but they believe that every Filipino have the capacity to succeed and live with dignity.

If you think they represent you, give them a chance to do so. Visit their official website ahonmahirap.co to know more about it.
