It's that time of year when the most popular bird in Philippine mythology and literature takes flight again to punish wrongdoers and reward the deserving.

The playwright has added new lines of poetic dialogue, and introduces new characters, the most important of which are a minstrel-narrator (who also plays the traditional role of the Ermitanyo) and a chorus of townspeople (Taumbayan) who comment on the foibles and frailties of Royalty.
Tony Espejo, artistic director of Gantimpala Theater Foundation, wrote in his remarks for the inaugural performance in 2010:
“What is interesting and exciting about Ed Maranan’s script is that it captures the whole essence of the original corrido. The audiences can expect new characters, kingdoms, and adventures by Don Juan. Also, director Roobak Valle makes it more visually and aurally appealing. He adds the music and dances of the Maranao. These original choreographies are creations of National Artist for Dance, the late Ramon Obusan.”
