Interesting, but sad and a bit unfair, is Tanghalang Pilipino’s portrayal of Kapitana Teneng, mother of Emilio Aguinaldo, in Nick Joaquin’s El Camino Real. This strong woman was portrayed as the villain – the higante – in Aguinaldo’s life who reduces him to a sniveling coward. Even more tragic, in my opinion, is this portrayal as viewed in contrast with that of Capt.

Did our heroes give up their lives a hundred years ago for the present Erap trial, corruption in the government, kidnapings by the Abu Sayyaf and the peso inflation rate? They must be turning in their graves.
