We were asked by our professor to watch the play called "Tatay Mong Kalbo", well I wanted to use the English title because it sounds better than the actual tagalog title. Moving on, Tatay mong kalbo, in my opinion, is a completely ridiculous play, what others may call absurd but I prefer ridiculous because it actually is ridiculous in the sense that the main characters are completely absent minded with what is happening, they kept repeating the same words over and over again and yes they fought over things which dont make any sense at al, in other words, its nonsense which makes the story hilarious and a bit interesting. They exaggerate on things that aren't even worth exaggerating, which is kind of stupid but entertaining all at the same time. The story is basically about Mr.and Mrs, Santos who often argued about something at one point in their conversation. Maria, their housekeeper or what we call maid, feels really comfortable around Mr. and Mrs. Santos, who eventually told them that Mr. and Mrs. Reyes would come over. Later on, they all were conversing and they were funny until a local fireman named General Hepe, who Maria said was her love, randomly asked if there was a fire at their place. They answered "NO" which lead him to talk about something about firemen and fires. when General Hepe was about to leave, he asked "Nasaan ang tatay mong Kalbo?" and the play ended.
I love how they expressed their feelings, or roles rather, and stood in front of us with confidence, There are flaws, which is okay because no one's perfect, but they executed the play really well for us to understand the humor of the play. A job well done to the people who acted in the play, we really enjoyed the performance.
I would recommend this to everyone because not only is it foolish, but it would brighten up your day in an instant.
