The Hero of All Times



      Last January 18, 2013, was our schedule for watching a play named "Batang Rizal". I enjoyed watching plays. So when our adviser told us about it, I'm so excited since this will be about my favorite hero of all times.The play will held at the Assumpta Theater in Antipolo at the time of 2:00 in the afternoon. Our adviser recommend us to go to school at ordinary time and that is 7:00 am. In the morning, was the election of the new officers of SAC. One of our teacher and also a SAC adviser chose committees in our section, and I'm one of them.Me and my friend Kate, was assigned in the room of St. Peter. As a committees we are the ones who will give the rules in the voting process.When the election was done and we ate our lunches already, I feel so excited. Because finally, we will watch Batang Rizal. Our adviser told us to fall in line outside to wait for the jeep that will take us to the theater. The boys and the girls in our section are separated, the girls have a different jeep.The jeep of the boys was the first to arrived, so they are the first one to leave. When our jeep finally arrived, we rushed inside then take our seats and when everyone got inside, the jeep left and i'm so happy that time.Inside the jeep everybody sang as the music played exception to me. I didn't know the song so I just remained silent and I also feel sleepy.We traveled almost 20 minutes and I'm amazed when we arrived at the school where the theater was built. I thought when we arrived, that we're going to watch already since it's already 1:30 in the afternoon.But I was wrong. We waited for almost half an hour before we finally watched the play. When we got inside the theater I was amazed to see how big it was. There's so many seats inside and it's like a curve I think.When everyone got inside and the guests have finally arrived, the lights dimmed and then, we sang the National Anthem and there were two persons who were giving us rules while the play is ongoing.
After that, the story finally began

     The story began when students appeared and they're celebrating their "Linggo ng Wika". Their teacher told them that they have a visitor and that is the mayor of the town.The mayor gladly introduced to them the new monument of Rizal for the school. But when they took off the curtain, they were surprised that it's not Rizal, it's Pepito. He is one of the students in the school. Pepito just smiled at them and he's shaking. Their teacher scold at him and the mayor got angry for what he did. His classmates just laughed at him.
Pepito didn't know what to do because he accidentally broke the monument of Rizal. When all of them went back to their classrooms, their taecher told them that they will have a long quiz about the life of Dr. Jose Rizal. After that, Pepito went to the library to get a book about Rizal's life. He found one. But when he opened it, he suddenly went back in the past. In the time where Rizal was young.
Therefore, Pepito met Rizal and Rizal also met him.Way back to Rizal's time, Pepito knew a lot of things about Rizal's younger years. He even told Rizal that he will die for the country and he will become the National Hero of the Philippines. When the two became friends,
Pepito states a few things about the future so Rizal got interested to go to the future where as he said, he's a hero. Rizal convinced Pepito to go to the future. With the help of the book Pepito had found, they traveled from the past, to the future. Rizal realized many things when he went o the furure, he even helped Pepito with his problem about the monument. When Rizal will finally go back to the past, all of the student gave him a gift. He appreciates it so much. I can't remember how the play ends.
The lesson they want to tell us I think is to be honest.

 I really enjoyed watching it. At first, I think it's just all about Rizal. But I was wrong, because they made the play funnier than ever and mixed it with our modern world. I'm not bored while watching it, I just keep my eyes on the stage hoping not to miss any part of it. As we're on our way home, we're so quiet inside the jeep.
I think everyone was so tired but they all looked happy just like me. I even knew a lot of things about Rizal just like Pepito. Pepito is my favorite of all. He's so naughty and a jolly student. As well as the other students they made me laugh too. Everytime I remember this play, It makes me smile. This play taught a lot to me and that day means so much to me. For me that day was a historical day, remembering the younger days of our national hero is great.
I wished I could go back to the past and meet him just like what Pepito had experienced.
