She is a bit innocent, as a dispatsadora (or staffer) of <strong><u>House of Pasion</u></strong>, her dream as a fashion designer propels her desire to join the <strong><u>Coco Banana</u></strong> circle, and her absence of authenticity initially hinders acceptance.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">One of the Philippines’ fastest-ascending multi-hyphenate talents, <strong><u>Muhlach</u></strong> has rapidly differentiated herself as an actress, host, and performer. Her expanding body of work crosses over television, streaming, and live entertainment, earning her recognition as one of the most promising young stars of her age and generation. Her fans have seen her excel in projects such as <strong><u>Da Pers Family</u></strong> and <strong><u>Bad Genius: The Series</u></strong>.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Getting the nod for <strong><u>Bongga Ka, ‘Day!: The Annie Batungbakal Musical</u></strong> marks a full circle milestone for <strong><u>Atasha</u></strong>, whose theater journey began on the very same stage a decade and a half ago. In 2011, <strong><u>Muhlach</u></strong> made her theater debut at the tender age of nine at the <strong>Newport Performing Arts Theater</strong> as the sharp-witted <strong><u>Brigitta von Trapp</u></strong> in <strong>Newport World Resorts</strong>’ critically-acclaimed staging of <strong><u>The Sound of Music</u></strong>. The role served as her intro to live performance and offered early glimpses of her talent that would later thrive across multiple entertainment mediums. Now, she goes back to her roots stepping front and center as the lead star of one of the most anticipated Filipino musicals of 2026.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">The leading men of the musical is an all-star lineup of today&#x27;s most sought-after theater heartthrobs - <strong><u>Sam Concepcion</u></strong>, <strong><u>KD Estrada</u></strong>, <strong><u>Jeff Moses</u></strong>, and <strong><u>Anthony Rosaldo.</u></strong></p><div><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>Concepcion</u></strong> takes on the role of Romer, a 27 year-old cosmopolitan, flirty, and self-assured man who knows he’s handsome and worldly. He is a flight attendant who dabbles in photography. Coming from a well-off family, he is the only son of the owner of <strong>House of Pasion</strong>.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u></u></strong><strong><u>Estrada</u></strong> steps into the character of <strong><u>Burn</u></strong>, a down-to-earth folk-rock singer in his mid 20s. Burn is known for performing cover songs but dreams of making a name for himself through his own original music. Determined to get his big break, he sets out on a journey to achieve his dreams while balancing stability and his passion.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>Sam Concepcion</u></strong> is one of Philippine entertainment&#x27;s most accomplished triple threats. Equally at home on the concert stage, television screen, and theater stage, Concepcion has built a remarkable career spanning over two decades. Theater audiences most recently saw him as the wealthy aristocrat <strong><u>Daniel Beauxhomme</u></strong> in <strong><u>9 Works Theatrical</u></strong>&#x27;s staging of <strong><u>Once on This Island</u></strong>, following his widely-praised performance as <strong><u>Popoy</u></strong> in <strong><u>PETA</u></strong>&#x27;s blockbuster hit <strong><u>One More Chance: The Musical</u></strong>.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>KD Estrada</u></strong>, whose growing theater career continues to excite audiences. <strong><u>Estrada</u></strong> comes fresh off a highly celebrated run of<strong><u> Bagets: The Musical</u></strong>, where he starred as the well-off, conyo high schooler <strong><u>Arnel</u></strong>. He made his musical theater debut in 2023 in <strong><u>PETA</u></strong>’s award-winning zarzuela-comedy <strong><u>Walang Aray</u></strong>. </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>Jeff Moses</u></strong> continues to build momentum as one of the most promising young performers transitioning from television to theater. Best known to many viewers through his appearances in hit television dramas, <strong><u>Moses</u></strong> successfully made his stage debut in <strong><u>Bagets: The Musical</u></strong>, where he portrayed the martial arts-loving <strong><u>Topee</u></strong>. His natural charm and strong vocals quickly endeared him to audiences, making him a welcome addition to the world of <strong><u>Bongga Ka, ’Day!: The Annie Batungbakal Musical</u></strong>.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>Anthony Rosaldo</u></strong>, a powerhouse vocalist and former <strong><u>The Clash</u></strong> finalist, has become a familiar face in musical theater through a string of standout performances. In 2024, he starred as <strong><u>Roger Davis</u></strong> in the Manila revival of <strong><u>Jonathan Larson</u></strong>&#x27;s <strong><u>Rent</u></strong>. Before that, he made his theatrical debut as <strong><u>Young Hector</u></strong> in the long-running hit musical <strong><u>Ang Huling El Bimbo</u></strong> in 2023.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Together, these five performers bring a wealth of experience, charisma, and musicality to the production.
