Johnrey Rivas: Against all odds
Manila Bulletin
|September 21, 2025
At just 12 years old on March 24, 2011, Johnrey Rivas first saw a stage play at Tondo High School—his first brush with theater.
-
A young boy from a public school in Tondo, Manila, filled with dreams of song and stage, he watched in awe as Vance Larena delivered a stirring performance in 'Ako Si Ninoy', playing its namesake role. “Nung nakita ko si Vance Larena, sabi ko sa sarili ko, gusto ko maging katulad niya. Gusto ko maging ako-siya. One day, maging ako siya. Magiging katulad niya ako. (When I saw Vance Larena, I said to myself, I want to be like him. I want to be him. One day, I will be him. I will be like him.)” Johnrey would remember, his voice shimmering with aspiration. Johnrey would remember, his voice shimmering with aspiration.
