Teen St. Pedro the musical travels to UAE | ABS-CBN News

Dec. 28, 2013 is our year-end tour in Tacloban, Leyte, but due to the Haiyan/ Yolanda super storm (twice stronger than Katrina last Nov. 8, so we have to cancel.
But in HIS time we will be back, for we believe our Faith is stronger than the Storm.
For our good Lord is stronger than Yolanda !


The musical was inspired by the call of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila to empower young Filipinos to follow the saint’s great love for God and courage in the midst of adversity.
Philippine Ambassador to the UAE Grace Princesa watched the play and told the audience to ponder on how they too can be used by God while working and living in the Middle East.

“It is a Christmas gift which is truly appreciated and the lessons we learned from the life of our second saint will guide us as we live out our calling,” Garcia added.
Joyce Diano from Dubai had fun watching the show. “I think it is one way for us to get closer to God and be encouraged that even in our small ways we can help motivate and bring people to Him like St. Pedro Calungsod. It did inspire me to be a missionary,” she explained.
Amiel Batusin, a YFC leader from Dubai, added: “The story of Pedro Calungsod inspires a lot of youth and how to say yes to God and give it all. Everyone should be considering being a missionary like St. Pedro.”

Makisig was overwhelmed by the feedback. “Sobrang happy po kami kung napapasaya namin ang tao at napo-portray namin ng maganda ang buhay ni St. Pedro Calungsod.”
He added: “I hope you will continue to be kind and obedient to your parents. Do pray always as this will bring you more blessings.”

The staging of the musical play is the 25th show of the 29 AD Musicionaries. They have a standing invitation in Guam, Brisbane and New Zealand.   “We recently performed in Sydney and Melbourne plus many cities in the Philippines like Iligan, Bohol, Legaspi, Ormoc, Cebu and Bacoor as well as Laguna,” Aileen Serrano, one of the core members of the group, said.
