Performance Task
Directions: Paste a picture of a celebrity or a personality in any field that you think best fits
the image of the three Monzons. Explain your answer.

Chitong- Khalil Ramos

Chitong is a devout and caring young man who is deeply affected by his
grandfather's suffering. He also tries to comfort his grandfather and ultimately takes the
initiative to seek out the young woman who can provide solace to the ailing old man.
Knowing Khalil and based on his image I’m sure he can convey emotional depth that will
make him best fit for Chitoing’s Character.

Celo Monzon-John Arcilla

John Arcilla has the acting skills and experience to potentially excel in a role like Celo
Monso. That is why I could say that he would be able to bring all of these different aspects of
Celo's father's character to life. He has the range to play a character who is both intelligent
and vulnerable, both resentful and loving. Additionally, based on his movies, I could say that
he has the capability to be a conflicted and emotionally distant character, since Celo Monzon
struggles with his emotions and past trauma throughout the story.

The old man, Celo’s Father-Tommy Abuel

The character of Celo's father is an ailing and elderly man who is emotionally
distressed and based on the past movies and even the recent projects of Tommy Abuel I
could guarantee that he is suitable for this character.
