THE FILIPINO SPIRIT by CLAUDIA LIWANAG
The five levels of the high school department is actively involved with their yearly grand oral presentation for Filipino. The 8th grade had their Awitan, Tulaan, Sayawan. The Freshmen and Juniors have their Sabayang Pagbigkas. The Seniors have their Sayaw Pilipinas, while the Sophomores have their Tele Dula. The Awitan, Tulaan and Sayawan is a showcase of the combination of a song, poetry and a dance within 5-8 minutes. The Sabayang Pagbigkas is the artistic or creative and simultaneous oration of a poem by an entire class. The Sayaw Pilipinas is a manifestation of patterning a dance after a certain Filipino festival. The Tele Dula which are teleserye or drama films of 5-7 minutes are produced from groups in each class of the Sophomore year, but one teleserye is only chosen to be presented for each class so each student in the section will vote the best teleserye they have which will represent them in the batch contest.
This as the first term Filipino project of all the students, were introduced to them in the beginning of the term. They were given enough time in preparation to be able to provide or put up a presentable and extremely good show for amongst each other. The 8th grade's Awitan, Tulaan, Sayawan manifests the struggles of being poor. The Freshmen's Sabayang Pagbigkas was entitled "Ako'y Wika" by Kiko Manalo, while the Juniors' was "Kultura" by Pat V Villafuerte. The theme of the Sophomore's Tele Dula was Asian Culture and each group per class was assigned to showcase the culture of Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan or Korea.
These exciting events of performances all took place in the Central of Performing Arts or the Sylvia P. Lina Theatre. Last Wednesday, September 4, 2013 was the Freshmen and Sophomores. Section A won as first place in the Freshmen batch, while section F won in the Sophomores batch with their interesting film entitled, "Mahulog Ka Man". Last Thursday, September 5, 2013 was the 8th grade and Seniors. Section A won in the grade 8 batch and section F won in the Senior's batch.
August 29, Thursday was the Juniors batch and section E won. These were all truly amazing to watch and all of it were such enjoying productions that represents the love for our culture. One of the things we look forward to every school year.
