With its continuous pursuit to revive key events in Philippine History, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar commemorates History Month through launching its newest interactive theatrical show titled, “HistoryLand.”
Las Casas breathes life to five of history’s key moments through unique staging and reenactments strategically stationed in five key areas of the sprawling 400-hectare heritage hotel and destination.
A labor of love of both Manila and Bataan actors, HistoryLand aims to transport these milestones and celebrate the successes of our forefathers.
Furthermore, the restored Spanish-Filipino casas serve as a scenic backdrop to a line-up of stellar performances.
HISTORYLAND highlights the following events:
BATTLE OF MACTAN. With his undeniable love for his community, Mactan Island’s chieftain Lapu-Lapu fought and won a bloody war. Watch how the native Filipinos used their might to fight against the powerful Spaniards and expect to see the death of Ferdinand Magellan.
EXECUTION OF JOSE RIZAL. Jose Rizal lived his entire life to ignite change and inspire his countrymen. Realize the impact of Rizal’s contribution to the society while reviving the last scenes of his life.
CRY OF PUGAD LAWIN. The tearing of cedulas is, more often than not, overlooked as far as our history is concerned. Know the significance of this action, from what encouraged Filipinos to finally fight for their country and the future battles that occurred.
MAKING OF PHILIPPINE FLAG. Learning the depth of every symbolism in our flag requires thorough understanding. Each color represents a Filipino trait, creating a momentous design, which greatly speaks the collective stories of our ancestors. In fact, the Philippine flag we have today underwent a lot of revisions and HistoryLand will give us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the making of this authentic Filipino symbol.
FIGHT FOR PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE. A long and arduous battle, our forefathers’ fight for the country’s ultimate independence is a part of history we are all very eager to unravel. Experience this live and in flesh at the first-ever history amusement park.
AMBIANCE ACTORS. Take pictures with the famed El Katipuneros, Sisa, General Luna, Maria Clara and Friars, and learn a thing or two from these iconic characters.
Guests can enjoy and marvel with these performances for the whole month of August 2019.
