Synopsis and Write Ups Synopsis and Write Ups SET A KUDETA! KUDETA! A coma patient and a disgruntled fallen angel join forces in a plot to remove Lucifer from power. It’s good versus evil and all the grays in between. About the playwright Jimmy Flores is a freelance graphic designer who dabbles in filmmaking. He has written scripts for indie productions such as Auraeus Solito’s Tuli and Boy, Lawrence Fajardo’s Raket ni Nanay and X-Deal, and just recently, Supremo and Mariposa Sa Hawla ng Gabi for Richard Somes. Kudeta! Kudeta! is his first foray into stage plays. About the director Ariel’s (ARIEL S.R. YONZON) love for the theatre grew through a chiaroscuro of different arts in the palette of his life – good literature, appreciation of fine music of the masters, excellent grasp of language, among others, that all blended beautifully together in his journey, first at the MET (Manila Metropolitan Theater) in the early 80’s and, later, on to campus theatre at the University of the Philippines, through the U.P. Anak-Tibawan, as actor and stage manager. But, his reverence for the arts was bound to bring him to the country’s Cultural Center of the Philippines, where some of the world’s best artists perform. As one who has had the privilege of climbing up the ranks, first as Theatre Usher (as he was then a working student), then, as Project Coordinator (for the CCP Musical and Dramatic Arts Divisions), and, finally, as Head of the CCP Theatre Operations Department, he brings a unique understanding of theatre production work, grasping fully what every facet of theatre entails and giving both artists and stage personnel all that is necessary to give the audiences stellar productions. As a Director, his exposure of 27+ years to CCP performances has given him the expertise to brave innovative ways of presenting abstract artistic concepts to discriminating audiences, in a meandering manner, here and abroad. Among his outstanding works include various advocacies, ranging from environmental impact mitigation (Earth Day Events), to cultural diplomacy/foreign relations (Arts Across Borders), cultural showcases for State Visitors, cultural attaches and the DFA-ASEAN Affairs, international conference galas (Breathe! for Pulmonary Medical Practitioners; Asian Development Bank Governors’ Meeting, Baro: A Cultural Review and Earthen Harvest for the DOF and the World Expositions (Two Rivers, One Heart in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China in 2010; and, Connected Diversities in Yeosu, Republic of South Korea last year) for the DOT as well as various awards conferments (Orden ng Pambansang Alagad ng Sining/National Artists Awards, Gawad CCP, Cinemalaya and the Civil Service Commission Honor Awards). He is currently the Associate Artistic Director of the CCP Production and Exhibition Department and is also a member of the Philippine Association of Theater Designers and Technicians (PATDAT). 1 KAPIT In a bedroom, an older woman berates a younger man much like a mother reminding her son of his future. In the course of the conversation, their relationship becomes more than what it seems revealing how the ties that bind them together is being unfettered. Kapit is a story of the attachments people make, what makes them hold on to the things that they ought to let go. About the playwright George is a playwright, director and actor working as a corporate events writer and director. For the Virgin Labfest, Kapit is his second play and Ang Unang Regla ni John is the fifth play he has directed and the first that has been revisited making him a revisited virgin. IMBISIBOL The play is set in 1992 on an ordinary Sunday in Tokyo. Two Filipino friends, Benjie and Manuel, both illegal workers in Japan, gather at the house of their Filipina friend, Manang Linda, to collect the letters their families send to fictional names they created to hide their true identities. At the middle of the happy lunch, Rodel, another young Filipino illegal worker, barges in declaring he had just killed a man who threatened to report him to the police. His friends suggest that he moves deeper underground by moving to another prefecture, finding a new day job, cutting ties with his family and friends, keeping a low profile, changing his name, and staying hidden for good. Would Rodel choose to stay invisible not only to the police but also to his family and friends to keep his freedom and continue working for his family’s sake? Herlyn Alegre is a Filipino playwright and fictionist who writes in both English and Filipino. She graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing at the University of the Philippines-Diliman. She was a fellow of the 1st Palihang Rogelio Sikatfor the one-act play category. She is now finishing her MA in Asian Studies (major in Japanese Studies) at the University of the Philippines-Diliman and will be pursuing further studies at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan as a research student this coming fall semester under the Japanese Government Scholarship. At present, she is employed as a writer and researcher in a government institution. SET B ISANG DAAN (A HUNDRED, OR A ROAD) Ting has a Katipunero hero for an ancestor. In fact, a street is named after him. He wants his Fil-am daughter to feel that Pinoy pride by showing her that. The bad news is that the street will soon give way to a highway which is being built through a mayor's initiative. Ting's Fil-am daughter Bituin couldn't care less, but Ting wants to preserve the legacy of his great-grandfather. An informal settler and an NGO worker also seem to have reasons to stop the mayor from building this highway. What's in this street anyway that they have to fight for it? Perhaps a quest for immortality, survival or something else? About the playwright Liza Magtoto is a freelance scriptwriter for the theater, television, radio, film and video and occasionally a feature writer, editor and artist-teacher.

REYES The Komiks and Retelling the Lore of the Folk Komiks (comics), which emerged in the 1920s, have captured the Filipinos’ imagination, subsequently becoming materials for major motion pictures, yet marginalized in cultural studies. This article offers a diachronic analysis of the komiks between the 1930s and the 1970s to reveal the relationship between selected komiks characters and the folk tradition embodied in epics and legends. It also explains the komiks writers’ fascination with the remote past and their construction of heroes and heroines. In illuminating the worldview of writers and readers and the meanings generated when texts and readers interact, this article problematizes the supposition that popular culture is unalloyed escapism.

All rights reserved. 2 PE Plus: Retooling Physical Education for Inclusion, Development and Competition INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SPORT PEDAGOGY, HEALTH AND WELLNESS UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES QUEZON CITY OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT MESSAGE I am privileged to welcome all the guests and participants of the 1st International Conference on Sport Pedagogy, Health and Wellness (ICSPHW). No less than the world's top experts in health, human movement, and pedagogy are gathered here today to discuss important physical education and sports science-related topics over the next three days. While UP's commitment to academic excellence has always been the cornerstone of our success, this has at times been incorrectly conflated with a pursuit of purely intellectual brilliance. This misconception, no doubt fed by the false dichotomy of mind and body, has led to the misconstrued notion attributing UP's contributions to society to purely mental feats. This is of course far from the truth, and does not bespeak of the kind of liberal education that UP has historically espoused. We are lucky and grateful that the UP College of Human Kinetics (UP CHK) has been fully committed to bucking the stereotype and has been showing how well-rounded the Filipino youth can be. Since assuming its name in 1989, the UP CHK has been the base of operations and primary nurturer of UP's student athletes and athletic organizations.

    The New Manila Sound: Music and Mass Culture, 1990s and Beyond A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music James Gabrillo Peterhouse, University of Cambridge November 2018 This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other quali- fication at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. It does not exceed the word limit prescribed by the Degree Committee. "2 of 293" The New Manila Sound: Music and Mass Culture, 1990s and Beyond James Gabrillo Abstract This dissertation provides the first detailed account of the mass musical culture of the Philippines that originated in the 1990s and continues to be the most popular style of musical entertainment in the country — a scene I dub the New Manila Sound. Through a combination of archival research, musical analysis, and ethnographic fieldwork, my ex- amination focuses on its two major pioneers: the musical television programme Eat Bula- ga! (Lunchtime Surprise) and the pop-rock band Aegis. I document the scene’s rise and development as it attracted mostly consumers from the lower classes and influenced oth- er programmes and musicians to adapt its content and aesthetics. The scene’s trademark kitsch qualities of parody, humour, and exaggeration served as forms of diversion to au- diences recovering from the turbulent dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos from 1965 to 1986, when musical works primarily comprised of state-commissioned nationalist an- thems, Western art music, and protest songs.
