Google+MANILA, Philippines – Teen St. Pedro, the Musical is a stage play on the young life of St. Pedro Calungsod of Cebu, the second Filipino saint to be canonized on Oct. 21 at the Vatican City.
Calungsod’s life is an example of what faith in the Lord can do, of how one life can move others and of how the glory of God can be honored. He was a young migrant, student, catechist, missionary, faithful friend and martyr rolled into one. He was killed on April 2, 1672 by two unfaithful Chamorro natives in the island of Guam, formerly Marianas.
The two-acts inspiration-filled musical play will have its public performance on Oct. 17, Wednesday, 7 p.m., at the Meralco Theater.
The play features young TV actor Makisig Morales as teen St. Pedro, with Bubi Camus as Padre Diego, Emer Greengon as Choco, Dayloe Ranario as Upe, Panyong Umaguing as Matapang and the 29 AD Musicionaries. Music and lyrics by Bob Serrano and Nonong Sampang, and most of the songs are from the musical Scenes From a Martyrdom by Msgr. Rudy Villanueva.
TSP musical is commissioned by the National Commission on the Canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod. A video of the musical will be shared in Rome during the canonization of Calungsod. The mission is to share the musical with theater groups of schools, organizations and parishes.

Through Calungsod and San Vitores' missionary efforts, many native Chamorros converted to Roman Catholicism.
