The problem calls a community-based performing arts center, a hub
where the members of the community can use it as a venue to showcase their
talents by performing different performances/presentations and participating in
other note-worthy endeavors of the community in the preservation of their arts
and culture. The community desires to take part in further enriching this by
having a landmark that will enhance and promote an architecture that they can
truly claim as a “pride of its place”.

MABALACAT CITY, Pampanga — Strong currents caused by Typhoon Egay (international name: Doksuri) and heavy monsoon rains damaged a portion of
Camiling River’s slope protection in Tarlac on Friday (July 28), the Department of Public Works and Highways Regional Office 3 (DPWH RO3) reported Saturday (July 29).
In a social media post on Friday night, DPWH RO3 said District Engineer Neil Farala initiated a sandbagging operation along the river at Cacamilingan village in Camiling
town “to mitigate the impact of the flooding.”

Concept Akda

Arts Theatre
The main concept of the project is a book or an author's
literary piece which translates in filipino means "akda".
Jose Rizal, which is the national hero in the Philippines
and his famous novel in 1887 "Noli me Tangere" became
the inspiration of the project building. In the novel, the
town of San Diego is actually the municipality of Camiling.
The novel was inspired by real-life events, including
Leonor Rivera and the former Saint Michael the
Archangel Parish Church of Camiling.
