Teatro Kolehiyo ng Miriam Stages First Musical Production Billed As "Sinagtala"


Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Teatro Kolehiyo ng Miriam (TKM), the official theatre organization of Miriam College, showcases its first-ever musical production billed Sinagtala. The original musical, penned by Soc Delos Reyes and set into music by Krina Cayabyab, traverses the worlds of reality and fantasy tackling parallel issues that pervade the two domains. Sinagtala, the second production of the group for the school year, will be staged on May 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 at the Mini Forest area within the school campus at 6:30 p.m. 

Delos Reyes made his playwriting debut at the 2016 Virgin Labfest, a venue for “untried and untested” theatrical pieces at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), with his work Dahan-Dahan ang Paglubog ng Araw. Cayabyab, singer, songwriter and music teacher, composed the music for the full-length musical, Ang Huling Lagda ni Apolinario Mabini, staged at the University of the Philippines - Diliman in 2014.       

The three themes running through the good versus evil set-up of Sinagtala include familial relationships focusing on the sacrifices made by family members in expressing their love for one another, the alarming rate of environmental destruction and its adverse effects, and the consequences brought on by an oppressive regime.
       
Sinagtala is directed and choreographed by Ricardo Magno with the overall production supervised by Opaline Santos. Magno – who was with the Actor’s Company of Tanghalang Pilipino, the CCP’s resident theatre arm – is also a dance artist. He essayed the role of Aguinaldo in the restaging of Ballet Philippines’ La Revolucion Filipina. Santos, an actor and a cultural worker, is the moderator of TKM since 2014. She is also a lecturer at Miriam College. Magno and Santos were the Philippine delegates to the Asian Performing Arts Forum in Tokyo, Japan in November 2016 where they collaborated with other artists from participating countries and collectively produced seed pieces.    

The other members who compose the artistic team are lighting designers Tagay Galit and Geri Regondola with consultant for technical direction and lights D Cortezano; sound designer Monica Mendoza; video designers Mendoza and Kristine De Leon; set and shadow puppetry designer Patricia Resuta with consultant Sig Pecho; propmakers Cha Roque and Jolina Capadocia; costumer Marga Tulaylay with consultant Trency Caga-anan; and makeup artists Cho Fernando and Chi Wasan.

TKM alumnae Peachy Policarpio and Jovic Cadungog respectively helmed the marketing and publicity efforts of the musical.

The main cast members for Sinagtala include TKM alumnae Annika Gamo as Tala, Mindy OrdoƱez as Danggoy, Monique Laurel as Agila, and Maan Dela Paz as Aswang. Guest actors invited to the production are Gino Ramirez as Edgar and Daluyong, Hazel Maranan as Corazon, Ren Medina as Alejandro, and Noel Blanco as Lakay. Student-actors in the musical are Thene De Guzman as Lualhati, Jascha Sarmiento as Hukluban, and AC Vergara as Alitaptap.

The Launch of the Lamudi Affordable Housing Fair


Wazzup Pilipinas!

To further assist Filipinos on their path to homeownership, leading real estate website Lamudi will gather property developers across the country in a big property fair exclusive for the affordable housing segment.

Scheduled to happen on July 15 and 16, 2017, at the Glorietta 3 Activity Center in Makati, the largest gathering of affordable properties aims to reach as many Filipinos. Lamudi is setting the event to be an avenue to find the right property that best fits the budget or the perfect place to finally jumpstart the house hunt.

“We acknowledge that home-ownership is one common aspiration shared by all Filipinos, but due to the continuous growth of real estate prices, this dream is becoming more and more elusive to some Filipinos, especially to those who do not know where to search. For this reason, we are organizing a housing fair specific to the affordable market,” said Bhavna Suresh Chathambeth, CEO of the Lamudi Group (Lamudi Philippines and MyProperty.ph).

Gathering all value-for-money and easy-on-the-pocket housing on one venue will not only help homebuyers. We also envision that the targeted approach of the Lamudi Housing Fair’s second installment will greatly help exhibitors to meet the exact audience that they are looking for,” Ms. Suresh added.

More than bringing together affordable developments, Lamudi is preparing more exciting schemes such as property discounts, games, raffles, prizes, and freebies for the attendees. Informative agenda such as real estate investment forums will also be available to complete the package.

The event is expected to welcome not only homebuyers but also property investors, real estate professionals, brokers and visitors who wish to learn more about the industry. Likewise, exhibitors are not limited to property developers; other related industries such as property managers, hotels and resorts, brokerage firms, furniture companies, banks, insurance, and other financial institutions are also encouraged to participate and highlight their products and offerings.

The first Lamudi Housing Fair was a three-day-event successfully held in November 2016 and was attended by more than 5,000 visitors.

RunRio Trilogy Series 2017: Dingdong Dantes Joins the Most Premiere Running Series in the Country


Wazzup Pilipinas!

What's new with RunRio Trilogy series? 

Well, joining Coach Rio Dela Cruz and Andrew Neri is GMA-7 Kapuso talent Dingdong Dantes of the DongYan popularity. His better half, my favorite and crush ever since she started her acting career Marian Rivera, is not there but since they are husband and wife, what's his' is hers and I'm sure she will totally support him with this latest endeavor. Dingdong is also the founder of the Yes Foundation which also forms a partnership with RunRio.

Though Dingdong admits he is not a runner, and he may or may not join the any or all of the three runs since his schedule as a celebrity may not allow it, and we also have top be extra careful in running since there has been deaths reported probably due to excessive physical exertion. 

Honestly, you are not advised to run, especially the longer routes, if you have no sleep or have been very physically drained from other activities. Life of a celebrity would most of the time require actors to be on the set for several hours and even more than 24 hours a day due to shooting demands limited by the availability of the actors.

With the presence of Dingdong, I'm sure it will be extra star-studded as he would surely invite his colleagues from showbiz to join the runs. Coach Rio already has a huge fanbase especially runners who idolize him since his roots are very inspiring as he aims to motivate runners in the proper way to achieve their athletic and fitness goals.
