Background

The Manila Metropolitan Theater was once the core of cultural life in Manila before it was ruined by the World War II. It stood full of pride despite being roofless after all the assaults of the war beautiful on its own but less taken care of. It was “a building that rises on the wings of a song”.1 Way back 1920 our country despite being on the Far East already had a metropolitan capital yet it had no theater that is at level to it being a metropolis. Filipinos then at that time had heightened cultural awareness. The lack of a theater to the metropolis was ceased by Manila’s Mayor Earnshaw as he forms a committee to prepare the groundwork for the project on September 1928. On the 27th of December 1927 stocks for the theater were made available in order to raise funds for the construction. The construction pushed on the first quarter of 1930, on the 10th of December 1931, the theater was opened. The very modern

    Orinda Theater

    At the beginning of last year, my friend asked me to accompany him to see the historic Orinda Theatre. History has that the theatre was opened in 1941 having been built by Donald Rheen in the previous century. Being the first time not only in Orinda, but California, what astonished me most is that despite its age, the theatre is pristine as others build in the past few years or even better than many of them (Welsh-Huggins, 2015).…

    As American theatre continues to thrive, an American National Theatre would be a large profit for America and would be a great experience for many people. If several theaters were spread throughout the country, many people near each location would come to see well-known American plays and musicals. Not only would the American National Theatre excite those that love American theatre, but the new flourish of people would also benefit the country financially. The increase in tourism would also benefit the specific parts of the country that would have the flow of people coming to see the popular American shows. The American National Theatre’s motto will be, “We please America with our own loved art.”…

You are also familiar with the Angono petroglyphs, the Laguna copperplate inscriptions,. In this module, you will understand how Philippine sculpture evolved from its simplest form as manifested in clay potteries of Maitum, the Manunggul jar, the bul-ol, and the pre-historic Angono cave art to the highlyChristianized period of Chinese artisans in Manila and the Paete woodcarvers in Laguna and the westerninspired, modern era of sculptors Napoleon Abueva, Guillermo Tolentino, Ed Castrillo, and Jun Yee among others.

    To the early conquistadores she was a new Tyre and Sidon; to the early missionaries she was a new Rome. Within these walls was gathered the wealth of the Orient-silk from China; spices from Java; gold and ivory and precious stones from India. And within these walls the Champions of Christ assembled to conquer the Orient of the Cross. Through these old streets once crowded a marvellous multitude-viceroys and archbishops; mystics and merchants; pagan sorcerers and Christian martyrs; nuns and harlots and elegant marquesas; English pirates, Chinese mandarins, Portuguese traitors, Dutch spies, Moro sultans, and Yankee clipper captains. For three centuries these medieval town was a Babylon in commerce and a New Jerusalem in its faith……

    In the first museum, there were 11 galleries all in all including the old House of Representatives session hall that showed 2 big paintings, one being Juan Luna’s famous Spolarium. The 1st gallery featured the Philippines religious art from the 17th to 19th century. It contained various paintings, carvings and images of saints or santos. Some displays were damaged but it naturally came from its old age and is not a problem in viewing. The 2nd gallery featured the historical political events that included the Basi Revolt. The 3rd gallery is said to be the Philippine art of the academic and romantic period, in this gallery it featured mostly the great works of Juan Luna. It was nice seeing all the various works of Juan Luna and how abundant this museum is with his works. It’s nice how they also displayed the sculpture of the artist himself because of all the work he’s done. The 4th gallery is made up of works of 19th century Filipino sculptors notably Isabelo Tampinco y Lacandola and his successors. This was one of my favourite galleries because these sculptures are like what I see only on the television or internet, I was glad that I had the chance to see something like this in person. Gallery V is the tribute to our national hero himself, Dr. Jose Rizal. The gallery included not only paintings and images of Rizal, but also his own work including 4 sculptures and one fine drawing. The display that caught our attention was Rizal’s fine drawing of a structure, it was literally a fine drawing because of the details of it and it made me appreciate how talented Rizal really is not only in writing but also in art. Gallery VI contains the work of late contemporaries and artistic successors of the generation of Luna and Hidalgo including Amorsolo. One display here featured Fernando Amorsolo’s unfinished painting of a lady which included a chair and a table that had tools used for painting that is said to be his. The next gallery is contained the work of great…

    Before the playwright wrote the play, “Taong-Grasa” there was no word in the Philippines that best referred to the “fools” loitering around the city areas. This is because before the raid of economic crisis, there were only decent wanderers that were still part of the society. But when the economy crisis of the Philippines began in early 1980s, the country endured adversities due to unable to pay its billion dollars international debt (Solon & Floro, 1993). The government was unwilling and was incapable to take necessary actions to deal with economic difficulties on its own even after disposing the country’s dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Although after the crisis, i.e. Martial Law, the nation was still ascending…

    I suddenly found myself in awe even during the first couple of minutes of the play. The adaptation made by Teresa Lorena Jopson was never to be expected by anyone, especially those who read it, which created a sense of enigmatic presence to the audiences’ portals. It was as if the short story was strategically and artistically redesigned to suit a bunch of spectators which one can really relate on to. The play’s versatility reflected a side or a hint of some Filipino culture and outlook like the individualities of every woman character in the drama – the gorgeous and cunning youngest lady in the group, Laura (Ang Haliparot),…
