Juan Tamad is alive again and we have to thank Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) for this. Si Juan Tamad, Ang Diyablo at ang Limang Milyong Boto will be staged every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., until March 14 at the PETA Theater Center, 5 Eymard Drive, New Manila, Quezon City.
Si Juan Tamad, Ang Diyablo at ang Limang Milyong Boto is directed by Phil M. Noble.
For inquiries and reservations, call the PETA Marketing & Public Relations Office at 725-6244, 410-0822, SMS 0917-8044428 or e-mail petampro@yahoo.com.
Interesting enough, I found this Project Gutenberg entry for Juan Tamad: Buhay na Pinagdaanan ni Juan Tamad na anac ni Fabio at ni Sofia. Take note of the use of c instead of k for the word anak. I could still remember when I first encountered the Spanish spelling when I was in grade 1. My aunt showed my mom a Will from her departed father. And in it calligraphy was used ala-speed ball text. Old English calligraphy at it's best.
Juan Tamad may not be a very good addition to Filipino Icons List but then again, we cannot erase his name and character in the books printed as the years passed by. Remember, the works of our forefathers will always have lasting effects on the succeeding generations, good and bad.
