Tatlong Tabing, A Tony Perez Trilogy

Tweet

Tony Perez, who has spent over two decades eloquently dissecting the Filipino Psyche, is an important playwright in contemporary Philippine drama. A prolific playwright with several volumes of published works, his plays deal with adult themes such as intense love, betrayal, separation, compassion, poverty, hunger, marriage, birth, and death. This trilogy traces his artistic development as a playwright. Sierra Lakes is a tension-filled play that explores issues among four people caught in a complicated web of love and desire. Bombita is a black comedy which questions the blind obedience and subservience behaviour of young rookies in the military. Funny, but almost in a pathetic way, it reveals the emotional and intellectual short-comings of our men in uniform. A psychological drama, Nobyembre, Noong Akala Ko’y Mahal Kita is the second play in the multi-awarded playwright’s thought-provoking trilogy about love, friendship and companionship, and their consequences in our lives.

His Wonderful Ways

Tweet

This morning sun shines with its golden rays

Let your heart rejoice in wonderful ways

Belong to the Lord, continue to pray

Nothing will harm you the rest of your days

The Lord, He protects His children, that's so

His band of angels with trumpets they blow

They fly around us and therefore we know

That He is with us wherever we go

With Jesus inside, there is nothing to fear

No need to be scared or to cry a tear

My spirit rejoices for He is near

Accept His comfort, His voice you will hear

He says, "Don't be scared and loud we must sing."

As the angels make all of heaven ring

Their voices so pretty like birds in spring

Mighty our Father all hail to the King.

Rome Film Festival to honor Richard Gere

Tweet

ROME -   Richard Gere will collect an honorary acting award at the Rome Film Festival opening next month.

Festival organizers on Wednesday cited the Hollywood actor's work with such great directors as Robert Altman, Akira Kurosawa and Sidney Lumet, as well as his humanitarian work.

During the festival, the actor of "American Gigolo" and "Pretty Woman" will hold a meeting with movie buffs to discuss his decades-long career. The festival will also screen a restored version of "Days of Heaven," a movie directed by Terrence Malick in 1978 that starred a young Gere.

The Rome event, a recent addition to the international festival circuit, runs from Oct. 27 through Nov. 4.

Make A Stand : CBCP Year of the Youth Official Theme Song

Tweet

Make A Stand is the official theme song for the double celebration for the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Year of the Youth and the Episcopal Commision on Youth (ECY)'s 25th Anniversary December 16, 2010 - December 16, 2011.

MAKE A STAND

How long must we sit and wait for a hero?

And how long must we waste today for tomorrow?

To our people that’s lost in the dark

We can be guiding hand, shining star

If we only could see that the hero is here

In our hearts, young as we are…

We can stand and make a stand

Heart to heart and hand in hand

Let that voice out inside

That we can’t keep on hiding

Gotta work to make things work

Gotta change to change the world

‘Cause we cannot deny, we gotta give it a try

We are never too young to come as one

And to make a stand.

Stand firm, be a guiding light to the nation

Stand proud, let's unite in one celebration

With the Power of God from above

We can tell all the world of His love

Standing firm in the faith

Doing all of our work from the heart

We've got to start to make a stand

We can stand and make a stand

Heart to heart and hand in hand

Let that voice out inside

That we can’t keep on hiding

Gotta work to make things work

Gotta change to change the world

‘Cause we cannot deny, we gotta give it a try

We are never too young to come as one

And to make a stand.

For together, we’re strong

Now it won’t be for long

Till we heal this broken land

If we live what we’ve learned

Take this time to take our turn

To make a stand!

Let that voice out inside

That we can’t keep on hiding

Gotta work to make things work

Gotta change to change the world

‘Cause we cannot deny, we gotta give it a try

We are never too young to come as one

And to make a stand.

We can stand and make a stand

Heart to heart and hand in hand

Let that voice out inside

That we can’t keep on hiding

Gotta work to make things work

Gotta change to change the world

‘Cause we cannot deny, we gotta give it a try

We are never too young to come as one

We can make a stand.
