Reviews

“Best play (full-length/original Filipino material or adaptation) 'Alpha Kappa Omega' (Mike de Leon’s film 'Batch ’81,' adapted and directed by Guelan Luarca).”

— Vincen Gregory Yu, Philippine Daily Inquirer

“It was not only a story about the young men, but also about the community around them who motivated and enabled them to behave the way they do.”

— Fred Hawson, Fred Said/ ABS-CBN News

“The play revolutionized and dissected a lot of socio-political issues through its metaphors.”

— JC Salud, Star Powerhouse
