♣♣♣♣/♣♣♣♣♣
Ateneo
wins over Mapua and La Salle defeats San Beda, which simply means an ADMU-DLSU showdown
at the NCAA finals. Tommy (Jeremy Aguado) is the star player of the Green
Archers while his cousin Paco (OJ Mariano) is the star player of the Blue
Eagles, which gives them enough reason to loathe each other. However, this
rivalry really goes way back. Their fathers’ loyalty to blue and green turns
every family reunion into an extension of the court side drama, something their
wives do not comprehend because according to them, it is just a game after all.
Quito (Felix Rivera), Paco’s younger brother, shares the same sentiment and serves
as the buffer between his kuya and his cousin. There is only one other person
he is crazy about aside from Don Quijote: Reena (Ashley Immler), the girl from
Maryknoll. Set in 1968, Rivalry Ateneo-La Salle the Musical takes the
competition from the basketball courts onto the stage. With lively song and
dance numbers and funny dialogues, they give you their rather hilarious take on
how all of this started, and on how the drama never stays just within the walls
of Araneta.
