Kapeng Barako Club: Samahan ng mga Bitter

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Being bitter never tasted this good! After almost a year, one of the country’s top plays is back. Arts and Culture Asia Philippines (ACASIA) proudly presents Kapeng Barako Club (KBC): Samahan ng mga Bitter.

Staged in well-known coffee shops around the metro, KBC is set to please kape lovers once more on September 6, 2014. The first show will happen at the Third Cup Cafe, one of the premier go-to coffee shops in Rosa Alvero Street, Katipunan Avenue Quezon City.

This Palanca Award-winning play is written and directed by Lourd De Veyra's co playwright, Juan Ekis, who is previously known for his other Palanca winning play "Twenty Questions" which went viral in the internet.

The playwright shares with us that he “...just wanted to stage a play with the title Kapeng Barako Club: Samahan ng mga Bitter. I didn’t know yet what it was going to be about. But I just knew I wanted to write about types of people and the types of coffee they love and how their personalities are reflected in their drinks."

Regina RICA: A Place of Prayer, Pilgrimage and Peace at Tanay, Rizal

Wazzup Pilipinas!

You will feel the divine embrace as you tread on the holy ground trail on your way up to a hill composed of 308 steps of paved stairs leading to where you can find a towering statue of the blessed virgin Mary with the young Jesus in one of her arms. It is known as our Lady, Regina Rosarii - a 71-foot high image of our Lady, Queen of the Holy Rosary designed by artist-sculptor Jose Barcena Jr.

The construction of the statue started in October 7, 2009 and the blessing took place on March 19, 2010. It was inspired by the Dominican tradition of Our Lady's protective mantle that shelters her devoted children. Below the statue is a canopy of clouds where the faces of 17 angels or cherubims can be seen.  You may also see this cheap travel destinations options.
