OPERA IN THE PHILIPPINES

Opera is an art and music form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text
(called a libretto) and a musical score, usually in an elaborate theatrical setting. It incorporates many of the
elements of spoken theater, such as acting, scenery, costumes, and sometimes includes dance.
The performance is typically given in an opera house, cultural center, theater, or auditorium. It is
accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble. The dialogue is entirely sung and not spoken.
Opera is part of the Western classical music form and tradition. It started in Italy at the end of the 16th
century and soon spread through the rest of Europe. Local Theaters and Early Philippine Operas Local
theaters, including the Zorilla, Principe Alfonso, Variedades, Quiapo and Tondo Theaters, were the choice
venues for the mainly Italian operas that came to the country, such as Lucia di Lammermoor, La Boheme, La
Traviata, and Aida. Later, other opera venues were established, led by the Manila Grand Opera House and the
Metropolitan Theater (Met).
The first Filipino opera is said to be to Sandugong Panaginip by Pedro Paterno, a poet, novelist,
musician, and government official. This was first presented at the Zorilla Theater on August 2, 1902. It was
later translated by the Englishman M.W. Loving with the title The Dreamed Alliance. Subsequent Filipino
operas followed sporadically, such as Lakangbini by Patricio Mariano that was staged at the Metropolitan
Theater on December 19, 1933.The establishment of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) by then First
Lady Imelda Romualdez-Marcos in 1969 paved the way for other Filipino operas to be staged at a legitimate
venue of international standard. NOLI ME TANGERE and EL FILIBUSTERISMO Operas based on Rizal’s two
novels. Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo were composed by National Artist Felipe Padilla de Leon. These
were presented at the CCP Main Theater in 1970 and 1975, respectively. Noli Me Tangere and El
Filibusterismo were later restaged also at CCP as musical plays with new music composed by Ryan Cayabyab
and new creative team.
I. LA LOBA NEGRA
La Loba Negra (The Black She-Wolf) is a three-act Filipino opera. Acts I and II are based on history. Act
III is based on a legend attributed to Fr. Jose Burgos. He was one of the three martyred priests, Gomez, Burgos,
and Zamora who were executed in Bagumbayan (now Luneta) in 1872. The music was composed by National
Artist Francisco Feliciano, with libretto by soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio. La Loba Negra was presented by
the Cultural Center of the Philippines in cooperation with the Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music at the CCP
Main Theater from August 16 to 25, 1984 and the 2nd season in 1985. Ms. Asensio alternated with Eleanor
Calbes as Dona Luisa/La Loba. Background of the Opera The story of La Loba Negra takes place during the 17th
century of Spanish rule in the Philippines. It revolves around the tragic assassination of Spanish Governor-
General Bustamante. It also focused on the bitter reaction and planned vendetta (revenge) by his wife Doña
Luisa (La Loba Negra) on the religious perpetrators.
II. NOLI ME TANGERE, THE OPERA
The three-act opera Noli Me Tangere was composed by National Artist Felipe Padilla de Leon, with
libretto by National Artist Guillermo Tolentino. It premiered in 1957 at the FEU Auditorium. The cast included
Juanita Javier Torres as Maria Clara, Don David as Ibarra, Fides Cuyugan-Asensio as Sisa, Milo Cristobal as
Padre (Father/priest) Damaso, and Morli Daram as the director.

Asensio as Paulita, Constancio Bernardo as Simoun, and Irma Potenciano as Juli. It was staged at the Cultural
Center of the Philippines.

BALLET IN THE PHILIPPINES

The medium of dance and ballet to interpret novels, folktales, and stories provides visual excitement as
the characters come alive not in spoken dialogue but in body movements. Much of the communication is
relayed in pantomime. It is a performance in which a story is told without words by using body movements
and facial expressions. The lack of spoken words or sung lyrics is more than made up for by the creative steps
and arm gestures of the dancers. Their facial expressions and body movements add more meaning to the story
being revealed. The performance is further enhanced by colorful costumes, elaborates sets, visually suggestive
music, and synchronized choreography. Together, the dance or ballet production makes for a complete drama
by itself without a single word being spoken. Filipino ballets vividly present folktales based on local fables for
example, Lola Basyang as well as epics from neighboring regions, such as India’s Ramayana. Highly
communicative movements and steps dramatize the actions in the respective stories.
I. TATLONG KUWENTO NI LOLA BASYANG
Lola Basyang is a ballet adaptation of Severino Reyes’ folktales MgaKuwentoni Lola Basyang. It was
meant to instill and rekindle the interest of the Filipino youth in the beauty, richness, and heritage of
Philippine literature. The typical storytelling scene shows the grandmother (Lola Basyang, the pen name of the
author) on a rocking chair with her grandchildren listening to her fascinating tales. Two episodes of such
stories were presented by Ballet Manila, with Lisa Macuja-Elizalde as the company’s Executive Director and
prima ballerina. Tatlong Kuwento ni Lola Basyang featured the following stories:
1. Ang Kapatid ng Tatlong Marya -This is a fantasy story set to neo-ethnic music in a contemporary
style. It is about a hero’s fantastic journey to different kingdoms in pursuit of his bewitched sisters.
2. Ang Mahiwagang Biyulin -This is a local version of the Pied Piper tale where the main character
mesmerizes his followers through the music of his violin. The story instills in them the moral lesson that “good
triumphs over evil.”
3. Ang Prinsipe ng MgaIbon -This is a love story where a princess falls in love with a bird. The second
episode,
Tatlo Pang Kuwento ni Lola Basyang, included the following stories:
1. Ang Palasyo ng Mga Dwende -This is a romantic adventure wherein the heroine Yani is being
maltreated by her envious stepmother and stepsisters. The cursed bird is changed back into a prince with the
help of Yani. It depicts Mindanao and the ancient Pintados through its neo-ethnic movements.
2. Labindalawang Masasayang Prinsesa -This is a romantic fantasy of the twelve daughters of the king.
The twelve daughters secretly leave their bedroom at night to travel to an enchanted land and dance with the
princes.
3. Anting-Anting -This is a horror-comedy wherein the cowardly hero Huan tries to overcome his fears
to win his love. The slapstick comedy is enhanced by exaggerated movements as Huan is later haunted by
ghosts that add to his fears for which he looks for an anting-anting (lucky charm) to ward them off.

II. RAMA HARI

Rama Hari, translated as King Rama, is the Philippine adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana set to
music, dance, and drama. Originally presented on February 8 to 17, 1980, the creative team consisted of Ryan
Cayabyab (Music), National Artist Alice Reyes (Choreography), National Artist Bienvenido Lumbera (Literature),
2|4th Quarter – MAPEH 10
and National Artist Salvador Bernal (Theater Design), with the CCP Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by
Cayabyab. The major roles were performed by Basil Valdez (Rama), Kuh Ledesma (Sita), and Leo Valdez
(Ravana).
The Indian Epic Behind the Musical Production The Ramayana is one of the two great Indian epics that
talk about Indian life around 1000 BC and how dharma was practiced. Later, it became a model of behavior for
the whole Hindu population. Dharma is a type of behavior said to be in accordance with the order that makes
life and the universe possible. According to its meaning, it explains the expectations in fulfilling duties,
respecting rights, observing proper conduct, practicing virtues, and maintaining a rightful way of living. The
story revolves around Prince Rama, the eldest son of Dasaratha, King of Ayodha, who had three wives and four
sons – Rama, Bharata, and the twins Lakshmana and Satrughna. Rama considered the incarnation of the Hindu
god Vishnu. He was in line to the throne after his father decided to retire. But the intercession from his
stepmother prevented this succession. She relied on the king’s promise to her that he would grant any two
wishes she desired. She opted to have Rama banished to the forest for 14 years. She wanted to have her own
son and Rama’s younger stepbrother, Bharata, to ascend the throne despite the king’s pleadings.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
READING:
BODY MASS INDEX AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Weight management is a struggle for many Filipinos but controlling body weight has many benefits.
Filipinos, nowadays, have adopted the Western culture of excessive intake of unhealthy, high-calorie food
coupled with physical inactivity which often results in a society called “obesogenic” (a tendency to have a fat
citizenry). This transformation towards over fatness does not occur overnight. The number of overweight and
obese Filipinos has already grown, according to the National Nutrition and Health Survey by the FNRI (Food
and Nutrition Research In statute) and DOST (Department of Science and Technology) and it will most likely
contribute to the development of related diseases.
BMI is commonly used because it is very easy to measure, and it also correlates strongly with the
percentage of body fats. Excess levels of body fat contribute to several health concerns including heart
disease, hypertension, diabetes, and some cancers. Typically, body fat levels are higher as BMI increases. A
BMI between 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2 is considered normal, with a healthy body weight. This is because BMI within
this range is associated with the lowest risk of developing a chronic disease or dying. People classified as
overweight have an increased risk of disease and death, and those who are obese have the highest risk of
developing several diseases.
Waist Circumference People have different patterns of body fat distribution, and these patterns
correspond to different risk levels for disease. The location of body fat accumulation influences a person’s
health risk. The risk is lower for those who have fat distributed more around the hips and thighs (called gynoid
obesity and commonly referred to as a pear-shaped physique) than for those who carry fat on the trunk or
abdominal area (called android obesity, commonly called an apple-shaped physique). Because of the concern
with abdominal obesity, waist circumference alone can help identify whether you are at risk of health
concerns. Physical Activity and Exercise Defined Physical activity refers to bodily movement produced by
skeletal muscles. It requires energy expenditure and produces progressive health benefits. Physical activity
typically requires only low to moderate intensity effort.
Exercise is a type of physical activity that requires planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement
to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness. Intensity of Exercise When trying to
develop the CR (cardio-respiratory) system, many people ignore intensity of exercise. For muscles to develop,
they must be overloaded to a given point. The training stimulus to the biceps muscle, for example, can be
accomplished with arm curl exercises using increasing weights. Likewise, CR is stimulated by making the heart
pump faster for a specified period. Health and CR fitness benefits result when a person is working between 30
to 85 percent of heart rate reserve (HRR) combined with an appropriate duration and frequency of training.
Health benefits are achieved when training at a lower exercise intensity, that is, between 30 to 60 percent of
the person’s HRR. Even greater health and cardio protective benefits, and higher and faster improvements in
CR fitness

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ACTIVE RECREATION

Recreation may be classified into two, active and passive. Passive recreational activities are those
which you spend your leisure without exerting much of your physical prowess such as playing board and card
games, listening to music, reading, watching TV, and surfing the internet or playing computer games. Active
recreational activities, on the other hand, are those that require deliberate physical efforts which may range
from light to vigorous intensities. These include walking, jogging, taking the stairs, gardening, doing household
chores, playing sports, swimming, dancing, and even hiking or mountaineering.
Common Injuries Involved in Recreation
1. Sprains- A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament, the band of connective tissues that joins the end of one
bone with another. Sprains are caused by trauma such as a fall or a blow to the body that knocks a joint out of
position and, in the worst case, ruptures the supporting ligaments.

9|4th Quarter – MAPEH 10

2. Strains-. A strain is a twist, pull or tear of a muscle or tendon - a cord of tissue connecting muscle to bone. It
is an acute, noncontact injury that results from overstretching or over-contraction. Symptoms of a strain
include pain, muscle spasm and loss of strength. On the other hand, it is hard to tell the difference between
mild and moderate strains, severe strains not treated professionally can lead to permanent damage and loss
of function. 3. Knee Injuries. Knee injuries can result from a blow to or twist to the knee, from improper
landing after a jump or from running too hard, too much or without proper warm up. Other common sports
injuries suffered by athletes are shin splints, Achilles’ tendon injuries, patella dislocation and hamstring,
quadriceps, and calf injuries. Fractures A fracture is a break in the bone that can occur from either a quick,
one-time injury to the bone (acute fracture) or from repeated stress to the bone over time (stress fracture).
Dislocations When two bones that come together to form a joint become separated, the joint is dislocated.
Contact sports such as football, basketball, and lacrosse, as well as high impact sports that can result in
excessive stretching or falling, cause most dislocations. A dislocated joint is an emergency that requires
medical treatments.
