Ryan Cayabyab’s "St. Michael Mass"

<sup>It sends us to a journey of Philippine history up to the present times and gives us a true message of hope, love, and trust in God!
- Ed Nepomuceno, Former member, San Miguel Master Chorale and the Philippine Madrigal Singers</sup>

<sup>Nabuhayan ako sa pag-asa na sa kabila ng mga karahasan, may mga taong handang tumindig at mag alay ng isang dula na nag pupugay sa mga biktima. 
Nainspire ako na magkwento rin, gamit ang teatro at pag awit, na feel na feel. Nawa’y maraming kabataan ang mamulat sa pag mamahal sa sining at sa bayan.
- Lecxy Cumpa, Don Bosco, Tondo</sup>

<sup>The entire experience felt like a rollercoaster ride... it effortlessly calmed down my spirit in a fusion of reflective prayer and nationalistic pride. For a show that runs for over an hour, the soulful mass hymns served as levers in integrating everything into a cohesive and compelling must-watch theatrical ride.
- Owen Tolarba, HR Head and Professional Coach</sup>
