Building on the success of last year’s play The Legend of Tibiao River, the Grade 10 students, with the supervision of their English teacher, Dayanara Acosta Empuerto, presented their new offering of Tala: A Hero’s Quest last February 14 – 15, 2019 at the school audio-visual room.

While last year’s play was a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this year’s production focused on mythology but with a Filipino twist. It starred Leinard Zafe as Tala, as 16-year old girl who discovers that she is a demigod, and a daughter of Zeus, the Greek sky god. She was taken by Athena, and trained with Psyros, son of Psyche and Eros. In the end, she must face Hera, queen of the gods, who was furious because of Zeus’ infidelity.

Almost all students from Grades 7-12 watched the play production at assigned times. Grade 7 students were the first audience who viewed the play on February 14 at 2:30 pm.

February 15 was the main show date, as it played host to three shows: Grade 10 and 12 students entered the AVR at 7:00 am followed by the Grade 8 and 11 at 10:00 am. The last and final show was witnessed by Grade 9 students.

All teachers were invited to the show, which garnered positive and negative feedback. The negative feedback centered on the comparison to The Legend of Tibiao River.

Dr. Renato B. Mesada, PSDS and OIC-Principal of Pasay City North - Main, joined Mr. Roger Escarilla, Assistant Principal, and the SHS TVE writers to lead and to give moral support to the school’s participants. There were about 65 TVE participants from different schools  including  Mr. Librado F.
