00:00 The Synaculo is an important tradition in the Philippines

00:03 that is usually performed during the Holy Week.

00:06 It is a theater that shows the events from the last days of Jesus,

00:11 particularly his suffering, death, and resurrection.

00:16 If that is the case, it was given by a non-profit organization

00:21 Mandalenyo Ang Sinaculo in Barangka 2024.

00:25 And to share with us the details about that, we will have with us

00:29 the President of Teatro Mandalenyo, Ms. April Grace Mesa,

00:33 Vice President, Mr. Alvin John Mina,

00:36 and of course, the Director of Teatro Mandalenyo, Ms. Pearl Angeline Manabat.

00:40 And we will also have with us this morning their members,

00:43 Maynard Bascon and Chinky Elmedolan.

00:48 Good morning, welcome to the show.

00:51 Let's start with the President.

00:53 How was the concept of the Synaculo in Barangka formed?

00:56 And what is its main goal?

00:58 The Synaculo is a tradition in our area that started a few days ago.

01:06 The Synaculo is a way of showing the life of Christ.

01:13 The concept of this is to remind all people

01:21 about the suffering and hardship of Christ during his time.

01:26 In different churches in the Philippines, there are different versions of the Synaculo.

01:31 There are people who go to each station.

01:33 There is a theater play that Catholics go to

01:37 to perform their Synaculo.

01:40 And that's really a tradition.

01:42 Correct. Well, for Sir Alvin, the Vice President,

01:45 how did you see the contribution of Teatro Mandalenyo

01:48 to the culture and tradition of the Mandaluyong

01:50 through the establishment of this Synaculo?

01:53 To be honest, we consider ourselves as modern-day apostles

01:59 in a way that we are able to convey the message of the works and miracles of Jesus Christ

02:10 through theater acts of singing, dancing, and just the play itself.

02:18 We are also able to help the youth, especially our new members,

02:23 to improve themselves, to have self-esteem and confidence through theater acting.

02:29 Theater acting is really different.

02:31 It's very holistic. It helps people.

02:34 And it seems like you have a modern approach to your theater.

02:37 Well, speaking of that, Direct Pearl,

02:39 what are the preparations that you are doing for your Synaculo in Barangka 2024?

02:45 Actually, we started preparing as early as December.

02:50 We're starting to do brainstorming, planning.

02:53 Because since our Synaculo is a traditional approach,

02:56 we want to innovate every scene.

02:59 Because apart from innovating, we are also preparing our members

03:05 on how they can act, how they will express their emotions.

03:09 This is especially difficult because we have to show the love and sacrifice of Christ.

03:16 So, our ensayo starts from January.

03:20 It's every Friday until Sunday.

03:23 Then, we also help with the props to prepare until the entablado is built.

03:32 Our entablado is also very traditional because we use bamboo.

03:37 Okay, that's nice.

03:38 For the members who are here, Maynard and Chinky,

03:41 what is your participation here?

03:43 I'm the one who will act as Christ.

03:50 Actually, this is my first year.

03:52 At first, it's a bit of a pressure.

03:55 But with the help of our members and prayers, we are able to do it well.

04:01 How about you, Chinky?

04:03 For me, this is my first time playing the role of Claudia, Pilato's wife.

04:09 I didn't know that you have a wife.

04:12 I played the role of Alfonso Pilato.

04:15 I played the role of Alfonso Pilato.

04:20 So, you can be a couple.

04:22 Stop it. I'm too early.

04:24 Not in real life. Maybe in a play.

04:27 But Miss April, we want to know what the public can expect from the barangay's synagogue this year.

04:35 We have prepared this well.

04:37 So, you can expect more exciting scenes,

04:42 which are inspired by the miracles of Jesus Christ,

04:46 so that we can let the youth know the importance of love and forgiveness.

04:53 It's beautiful. If you watch it, you will be able to relive the life of Jesus.

04:58 But if you are the character, I'm sure you will feel it.

05:01 This role is very transformative for you.

05:05 But for all of you, anyone can answer,

05:07 when and where will this take place?

05:10 And maybe you can invite our RRSP members to watch this.

05:14 We invite you to support our group, Teatro Mandalenyo.

05:21 To watch the barangay's synagogue in 2024.

05:25 This starts at 8 p.m. on the upcoming Easter.

05:33 This starts from March 25 to 30.

05:38 How many places are there every day?

05:40 We only have one place, which is the Plaza of the Barangay in Lungsod, Mandaluyong.

05:48 If I can't go on this day, I can go on other days.

05:51 How many times?

05:52 So, one time you can go on one day, one whole week.

05:56 8 p.m. to 12 p.m.

05:58 That's four hours.

06:00 On that note, of course, thank you very much for giving us the details about your synagogue in Barangay 2024.

06:08 We will be able to watch the miracles of Teatro Mandalenyo,

06:12 which are Ms. April Grace Meza, Mr. Alvin John Mina, Pearl Angeline Manaba, Maynard Bascon, and Chinky Elmedolan.

06:20 Thank you so much and stay safe.

06:21 Thank you.

06:22 Thank you for inviting us.
