“A story of love, fame and resilience, “Rak of Aegis” is set in a subdivision frequently marred with flood. The story revolves around Aileen, a young promodizer caught in the web of finding love and seeking fame to support her family. A story inspired by Filipino’s resilience, the play showcases the capacity of Filipinos to overcome the greatest peril. “Rak of Aegis” will be a box filled with musical and visual spectacles showcasing Pinoy’s innate love for music.”

I am a secret closet fan of the Aegis… gusto mo yun, secret na closet pa. I really didn’t want it leaked out but I sing Aegis in the shower. It was the perfect place to belt out (without getting knocked out in the head with a beer bottle) the song and submit myself to every word, especially the soaking wet part.
“Heto ako ngayon, nag-iisa
Naglalakbay sa gitna ng dilim
Lagi na lang akong nadarapa
Ngunit heto, bumabangon pa rin
Heto ako, basang-basa sa ulan
Walang masisilungan, walang malalapitan
Sana’y may luha pa, akong mailuluha
At ng mabawasan ang aking kalungkutan”
Alongside my bucket list of wanting to watch Michael Jackson, Coldplay, U2, Madonna, and Bon Jovi concerts, it has always been my fervent wish to catch an Aegis concert. So imagine my excitement when I heard about Rak of Aegis. I didn’t mind having the Aegis sing and act in the play, even with absolutely zero theater experience… even if there’s no stage, and they only sing on top of a huge rock. They are an iconic rock band and truly pure Pinoy talents at a class of their own. Original Pinoy Music.
