The musical phenomenon, “Rak of Aegis” is back on its seventh season and will run from July 5 to September 29, 2019, at the PETA Theater in Quezon City. The story follows the life of Aileen—a simple girl living in a flood-prone area called Barangay Venizia—who dreams of fame and fortune.
The success of the hit musical is supported and co-presented by the Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM), the PhilPop MusicFest Foundation (PhilPop), and the Philippine Educational Theatre Association. Bringing in a timely story about Filipino spirit and resilience, the Pinoy musical also introduces its new cast members along with OPM artists.

Cabangon plays the role of Aileen’s father named “Kiel”, who works as a shoemaker. He believes that the cause of flooding comes from their neighboring subdivision, Villa Arkadia.
