Teatro Tomasino Proudly Presents Bonifacio P. Ilagan's "Hindi Na Muli”

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Teatro Tomasino, the official university-wide theater guild of the University of Santo Tomas, celebrates its 39th year with a commemoration to Philippine culture and its past which takes form as a thought-provoking portrayal of Bonifacio P. Ilagan's "Hindi Na Muli” this coming December 1 and 2 at the University of Santo Tomas, Tan Yan Kee AVR, under the direction of the organization’s alumni, J.H. Garcia. With the theme, Let thy art illuminate, a theatrical show will be presented to shed light on the events that transpired a few significant years back.

In their anniversary production, Teatro Tomasino emphasizes the need to reveal how our country’s grim past was buried underneath the claims and “unproven” accusations. Witness as Lolo Veni and his family attest to the era that imposed laws that stripped the people off their rights, and had actively rejected common human decency.

The production exposes the brutality of the Martial Law through the story of a family who were mauled and raped by the regime. As they were also the activists who screamed their throats hoarse against the Marcoses, they contest the willingness of the Marcos supporters who turn a blind eye as propagation of false notion about their legacy continues.

Through a theater experience that will confront beliefs and challenge morals, Teatro Tomasino presents the current social issues of the Philippines from extrajudicial killings to the probable de novo Martial Law: will you turn a blind eye or will you make a stand? Would you let it happen again or never again?

Hindi na Muli will run on the following dates: December 1-2 at 10AM, 1PM, 4PM, and 7PM, at the Tan Yan Kee Auditorium, University of Santo Tomas.

Energy Ministers, Experts Discuss LNG Development Prospects in Japan

Wazzup Pilipinas!

To promote fuel diversification for energy stability and affordability, Philippine Department of Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi presented the liquefied natural gas (LNG) roadmap of the country on Thursday (24 November) during the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference 2016 in Japan.

“As an emerging LNG market in Asia, my country, the Philippines can take advantage of the current period of oversupply and the relatively low prices of LNG,” said Cusi in his Keynote Address for the third Session of the said forum.

The Energy Secretary said that currently the Philippines had only Malampaya Gas Field, where 98% of its total production is used for power generation supplying fuel to five natural gas plants in Batangas, namely Ilijan, Sta. Rita, San Lorenzo, San Gabriel and Avion with a total installed capacity of 3,211 megawatts (MW) providing the electricity requirement of Luzon and even the Visayas.

As the country prepares for the depletion of Malampaya’s supply by mid-2020s, Cusi also provided the natural gas project prospects in the country for the Japanese and other international investors to develop which includes –LNG importation, off-grid or missionary islands conversion to natgas power plants and even non-power applications, such as in transportation.
