00:00We have a special guest with us today, a talented musical artist and the director of a legendary musical that won an award at the 14th Gawad Buhay Awards.

00:11They are the people behind the musical Sanducenang Sapatos, a story about the importance of love and understanding to our loved ones, especially those who have special needs.

00:25Let's not waste any more time, let's meet Winses Gemiana, who plays the role of Susie, and Director Jonathan Tadiwan.

00:35Hello, Director. Good morning. Welcome to RISING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

00:39Thank you for being with us this morning. Tell us more about Sanducenang Sapatos, the musical. How was it conceptualized? What was the inspiration behind this musical?

00:50Sanducenang Sapatos was originally a short story book written by Dr. Luis Gatmaitan, adapted by Dr. Layeta Bukoy for Entablado by Noel Cabangon and Jed Balsamo.

01:05The concept of this musical started when we were looking for a theater for young audiences.

01:15We thought, why don't we make a short story and adapt it to Entablado for young audiences?

01:25That's when the concept of Sanducenang Sapatos started.

01:28Actually, this was first made in 2013. I was the original father.

01:34Then, last year, in 2023, we thought, this is the 10th year, so why don't we do it again?

01:43But this time, I was the one who directed Sanducenang Sapatos.

01:48Okay, Winses, tell us about your character in Sanducenang Sapatos. Who is Susie?

01:56Susie is a girl with a dream. She is a disabled child, born without feet, who dreams of becoming a ballerina to fulfill her father's dream of having a ballerina for a daughter.

02:17What is your biggest challenge in playing Susie?

02:23Actually, I have three challenges.

02:26The first one is the schedule.

02:28Because, of course, in rehearsals and in school, I am still a student.

02:36So, given that I am already 14 years old in grade 9, the schoolwork and responsibilities have increased.

02:43So, that is one of the challenges.

02:46But she was able to jive. What are the other two challenges?

02:48The other two challenges are the singing.

02:52Because, since Susie has no feet, most of the time, she is sitting down.

02:59So, it is difficult for her to sing while sitting down.

03:02All the while, right? From the beginning to the end. How long does this play last?

03:06The play runs for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

03:10It is a musical song, so it means that it is sung continuously without a break or intermission.

03:17Yes, there is a musical called that.

03:19It's a sung-through musical.

03:21A sung-through musical. I learned that from Mr. Ryder Kamania.

03:25What are your other challenges?

03:29My last challenge is embodying a character who is disabled.

03:36Because it is a very new role for me.

03:38I am used to roles with feet.

03:43In this play, Susie has no feet, so I can't grasp the feeling.

03:50So, that is one of my challenges.

03:54It's inspiring for Audrey to watch it.

03:56That's why you don't think of anything else.

03:58But this is for Direk.

04:00In the production, how did you choose the cast, the music you will use, overall?

04:08For the artistic team, the music, the sound, the design of the stage,

04:14I personally chose all of them so that they will be our team.

04:20When it comes to the actors, even Winces, they all went through the audition process.

04:26Even the shoes, they all went through the audition process.

04:32There are only two characters that I chose to be the pre-cast.

04:36The mother, Tex Ordonez de Leon, and the father, Floyd Tenia, last year.

04:40So now, we have new members, new shoes, and a new father this year.

04:48So, all of them went through the audition process.

04:52After the initial audition, there was a final audition.

04:57How many auditions did you go through?

04:59I think they went through 8 or 9 auditions.

05:03So, I only chose two for the role of Susie.

05:05The first one was for Felicity, and the second one was for Winces.

05:13Because the role of Susie is so challenging,

05:17because it's a song through musical,

05:19you can't do it alone.

05:21It has to be repeated.

05:23How many times does it have to be repeated?

05:26On Fridays, we have one show.

05:28On Saturdays, we have two shows.

05:30And on Sundays, we have one show.

05:32But because it's a rerun,

05:34there are a lot of people who want to watch it.

05:36So now, it's almost two shows a day.

05:38Ah, it's increasing.

05:40At least, you still have a lot of support in the Filipino theater.

05:42Yes, that's true.

05:44Do you have a favorite scene?

05:46I'll go with Winces.

05:48Let's continue with the production.

05:50It's one that you can't forget.

05:52You want to be that.

05:54The scene of the writing.

05:56Okay.

05:58In this scene,

06:00Susie already expressed

06:02what she felt inside.

06:04Because she doesn't have a foot.

06:06So frustration and anger

06:08came out here.

06:10And since she doesn't have a foot,

06:12it's also one of the challenging scenes.

06:14And I like challenging.

06:16I like to express

06:18what I feel

06:20and what I feel

06:23in this scene.

06:25Because

06:27this is the most

06:29emotional for Susie.

06:31And

06:33the anger came out.

06:35And everything.

06:37That's why.

06:39It's hard to portray.

06:41Musical, shoes, title,

06:43and the main character doesn't have a foot.

06:45Why Sanducena?

06:47Because in Susie's dream,

06:49she has

06:51a desire

06:53to have a foot.

06:55She's crossing the dream.

06:57So in the dream,

06:59spoiler, sorry.

07:01In the dream, she's playing with the shoes.

07:03The creations of her father.

07:05In the dream.

07:07Because she feels that

07:09love is not enough.

07:11But at the end of the story,

07:13we'll know what the answer is.

07:15Because originally,

07:17in Doc Luis' storybook,

07:20it's the perspective of the sister.

07:22She's telling what her brother feels.

07:24She sees

07:26her brother.

07:28But this time, in Ms. Layeta Bukoy's version,

07:30she took

07:32Susie's perspective.

07:34What's really happening to her.

07:36What's Susie's experience.

07:38And what's the experience

07:40of people with disabilities.

07:42How can we understand them?

07:44How can we help them?

07:46Sometimes, material things

07:48are needed.

07:50Sometimes, understanding and loving is enough.

07:52Support.

07:54That's what people need.

07:56So what you're saying is,

07:58it's highly emotional.

08:00No, it's funny.

08:02It's funny.

08:04Yes, it's highly emotional.

08:06But we also need to know

08:08after the story of the sister,

08:10what did we learn?

08:12How can we help

08:14people with disabilities?

08:17For people like Susie,

08:19what do they need

08:21to know and feel

08:23that the love we're giving them

08:25is enough?

08:27I hope many people watch

08:29to see this kind of situation

08:31of our fellow Filipinos

08:33that we should know how to support them.

08:35Not sensationalizing them,

08:37but treat them as human beings.
