There were no dry eyes when the lights opened at the auditorium of Bantayog ng mga Bayani last Saturday evening- the last show of “Mrs B”, a theater presentation about Edith Burgos’ search for her son, Jonas.
As we all know , Edith Burgos, widow of Jose Burgos, Jr. founder of Malaya and considered a press freedom icon, has been in search of her son since April 28, 2007 when he was abducted by unidentified men and a woman while having lunch at the Hapag Kainan restaurant in Ever Gotesco Mall in Quezon City.
Last Saturday’s performance had Bibeth Orteza as Edith ( Gina Alajar was the other Edith). It’s a moving 45-minute monologue.
