HONORATA ATANG DE LA RAMA
During the American occupation of the Philippines,
Atang de la Rama fought for the dominance of
the kundiman, an important Philippine folk song, and
the sarsuela, which is a musical play that focused on
contemporary Filipino issues such
as usury, cockfighting, and colonial mentality.
ALICE REYES

As a dancer, choreographer, teacher and director, she

has made a lasting impact on the development and
promotion of contemporary dance in the Philippines. ...
Perhaps the biggest contribution of Alice Reyes to
Philippine dance is the development of a distinctly Filipino
modern dance idiom.
 She is best known for "Bungkos Suite", "Carmen",
"Carmina Burana", "Romeo and Juliet", "Rama Hari",
"Cinderella"—all nuanced with Filipino culture, gesture and
grace.
FRANCISCA REYES AQUINO

Francisca Reyes Aquino is acknowledged as the

Folk DancePioneer. ... In the 1940s, she served as
supervisor of physical education at the Bureau of
Education that distributed her work and adapted the
teaching of folk dancing as a medium of making young
Filipinos aware of their cultural heritage.
Among Reyes-Aquino's most noted works is her research
on folk dances and songs as a student assistant at
the University of the Philippines (UP). Pursuing her
graduate studies, she started her work in the 1921
traveling to remote barrios in Central and Northern
Luzon.
 AMELIA LAPEÑA BONIFACIO
Originally a playwright for adult audiences, she has since then written
and directed many other plays for children, most of them based on Asian
folktales. In 1977, Lapeña-Bonifacio was invited by the University of
the Philippines Department of Speech and Drama to present one of her
plays.

Pioneering Works
In 1976, Lapeña-Bonifacio published Anim na Dulang Pilipino Para Sa
Mga Bata, with six-year-old daughter supplying illustrations and also
influenced by traditional Asian theater techniques. Originally a
playwright for adult audiences, she has since then written and directed
many other plays for children, most of them based on Asian folktales.

In 1977, Lapeña-Bonifacio was invited by the University of the

Philippines Department of Speech and Drama to present one of her
plays. She wrote and directed Abadeja: Ang Ating Sinderela, a puppet
play based on a Visayan folktale about the Cinderella-like Abadeja.
With December shows at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater, Abadeja
was performed in cooperation with Dulaang UP and UP Repertory
Company.

Her first puppet play, “Abadeja: Ang Ating Sinderella,” with music by
Felipe M. de Leon Jr. and puppets by Rafael del Casals, was favorably
reviewed in the press. With the enthusiasm of the cast's continued visits
to her office and her long-standing dream of forming a children's theater
group, Lapeña-Bonifacio founded in 1977 the children's theater troupe
"Teatrong Mulat ng Pilipinas" (Aware Theatre of the Philippines), the
official theater company and puppetry troupe of the University of the
Philippines.

RAMON VALERA

A new exhibit showcases the national artist's elegant vision of a

traditional Filipino dress
MANILA, Philippines – I was having dinner with some of the country’s
established designers and one of the many topics we touched on were young
designers; the younger breed is fortunate to have access to modern
technology that eases designing and creating clothes. Unfortunately, a
number of the newer set is so headstrong in moving their ideas forward that
they do not take time to learn and understand local fashion history.
