"Close behind with 12 nominations is Tanghalang Pilipino’s 'Der Kaufmann,' Rody Vera’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” based on the late National Artist for Theater and Literature Rolando Tinio’s Filipino translation. 'Der Kaufmann' was directed by Vera and Tuxqs Rutaquio."

"Hands down, this is also the ensemble performance of the year. Although the leads deliver excellently, from Marco Viana's pained Antonio to de Vera's deviously manipulative Portia and Jonathan Tadioan's affecting Shylock, "Der Kaufmann" demands to be seen as a whole and not just for its parts."
