BALAG AT ANGUD - Layeta Bucoy

Is a musical based on the life of protest installation artist JUNYEE by playwright LayetaBucoy.

Believing in the power of the arts to influence and transform people, seventeen years old Junyee sets up his original artwork at the lobby of the Palace Hotel which his father tasked him to manage. Referred to as garbage by their clients, Luis tries to get rid of the artwork. Junyee protests as the artwork is his way of enlightening people on the need of caring for the mountains of Agusan. Their argument leads to Junyee leaving home in pursuit of his art.

Without his father's support, Junyee makes use of his artistry in order to fend for himself. He lands a job as a makeup artist in a funeral parlor. While working for the funeral parlor, Junyee receives news of his father's death. Junyee goes home and applies makeup on his father's corpse. Junyee then studies Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines. He becomes one of Prof. Abueva's apprentices, enjoying free board and lodging plus a regular allowance from the respected artist. While studying sculpture under Prof. Abueva's wing. Junyee tries to incorporate protest materials against the Marcos dictatorship in one of the sculptures that they are crafting. This prompts Prof. Abueva to give Junyee his freedom as he feels that Junyee should already be able to grow as an artist on his own. Junyee's vision of creating a sculpture incorporated with materials coming from protesters finally sees the light when he creates Balag. Still with no regular job and living in the slums while creating artworks which he cannot sell, on his thirtieth birthday, Junyee is visited by the ghost of Luis reminding him that like his artworks, his life has not amounted to anything but garbage.

After several years, with the onslaught of typhoons Milenyo and Reming, Junyee is given the opportunity to create an artwork at the front lawn of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. He gathers the felled trees around CCP complex, intending to plant them upside down. Unfortunately, while in the middle of creating his art work, people looted the trees for firewood. Junyee sets out to replace them with ten thousand angud - " skulls " or what's left of trees victimized by small time logging. During the launch of Angud: A Forest Once, Junyee falls off the stage. On the brink of death, the ghost of Luis fetches him. Junyee refuses to go with Luis for he realizes that his art work lacks one more angud. Luis insists on taking him to his death for what's the point of living to create art which is only deemed as firewood and garbage?

PRRC, NCCA and PETA launched “Taga-Alog 2018: Unang Alon” to develop Pasig River

The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), Philippine Educational Theatre Association (PETA), national government agencies, local government units (LGUs) and private organizations join forces for the development of the Pasig River through a creative campaign entitled “Taga-Alog, River Pasig: Balik Tanaw, Balik Sigla!" launched today, June 28, 2018.

The PRRC, NCCA, and PETA together with Department of Tourism (DOT), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), local governments of Pasig, Makati, Manila, Mandaluyong, San Juan and Marikina and the British Council convened to promote the development of Pasig River as a source of Filipino identity.

The Taga-Alog is a project paying homage to the Pasig River as medium and space for collective memory and cultural identity and to show concern for the community through the artistic creations and research initiatives that can be used by the community as a basis for crafting development initiatives

According to PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio E. Goitia “we welcome the various art forms that will be used to promote the value and significance of the Pasig River as a source of Filipino cultural identity and PRRC will do its best to support and help in the realization of these advocacy projects.”

To strengthen the cooperation between agencies, a memorandum of understanding has been signed by the officials of the aforementioned agencies for the implementation of the campaign.

Under the agreement, the group will conduct series of researches for the formulation of creative strategies and site development of Pasig River and the communities alongside it. The campaign will be experienced through visual arts, films/ photography, literature, music, dance, theatre which will be shared in multimedia platforms.

Goitia emphasized the importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors for the success of the project. "This project will foster the enrichment of a Filipino national culture. In this way, more people would eventually give importance and appreciation for the Pasig River," Goitia concluded.

PRRC, LIAC relocates Talayan Fire Victims

The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) and the Local Inter-Agency Committee (LIAC) of Quezon City relocated 111 illegal occupants at San Francisco River, Barangay Talayan on July 25, 2018.
The said families were victims of a major fire that occurred last August 11, 2017, and were immediately offered relocation assistance but they did not cooperate.
Various relocation sites have been offered since 2013 which include San Jose Del Monte, Norzagaray, Pandi and Balagtas in Bulacan and Morong in Rizal for off-road relocation as well as in Tala and Camarin Residences in Caloocan City for near city relocation and Holy Spirit Relocation Site in Quezon City for in-city relocation.
After several times Pre-Demolition Conferences, the PRRC and LIAC eventually won the cooperation of some ISFs but the majority still refused to voluntarily demolish their houses and to be relocated.
The ISFs refusing relocation were claiming that the land was awarded to them.
According to PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio E. Goitia, from the 160 ISFs in Barangay Talayan, a total of 49 families relocated by the PRRC in collaboration with the NHA (National Housing Authority) and the LIAC in Morong, Rizal.
Of the 49 families, 39 ISFs were relocated in September 2017, eight ISFs on July 27, 2017 and two ISFs on May 29, 2018.
The presence of the remaining ISFs had delayed the San Francisco River development projects of the PRRC such as the widening of the river, bank improvement, dredging and linear park development.
The scope of the project would directly benefit Barangays Damayan, Mariblo and Talayan in Quezon City.
During the meeting, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) released the subdivision plan / cadastral map based on the 26.4 + 3 meter legal easement of the San Francisco River project supplemental to the Supreme Court mandamus on waterways.
The local government of Quezon City likewise dismantled the informal settlements to ensure that the relocatees would not come back.
“I am sad that we have reached this point. It is important that we expedite and complete the rehabilitation and development of the San Francisco River because it is a major tributary of the San Juan River, which drains to the Pasig River,” Executive Director Goitia explained.
