After a vibrant flurry of activities throughout February, the Provincial Government of Bohol through the CCAD (Center for Culture and Arts Development) under the leadership of Madam Enriqueta Butalid in cooperation with the BACH Council (Bohol Arts and Cultural Heritage Council) is headed to a fervent climax of cultural extravaganzas extolling Bohol’s creative genius. Set in the historic watchtower of Punta Cruz in Maribojoc , the culminating activity is designed as a Dinner For A Cause to assist in the ecological-cultural development of the area in collaboration with the Local Government of Maribojoc, the Punta Cruz Environment Organization, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and BANGON or Bohol Alliance of Non-Government Organizations.
Billed as ANI NG SINIG 2009, the show is scheduled for this coming Friday February 27 at 7:00 pm and will feature the following performers: the Loboc Children’s Choir under the baton of Alma Taldo, the Tubigon Lungsuranon Performing Arts Ensemble (LUPAE) from Holy Cross Academy under the direction of Dennis Walton Balbero, and the newly-launched Punta Cruz Cultural Collective which will perform the main event of the evening: the premier of TAWAG SA BANTAYAN , a collaborative project of the collective with Loon writer Reigh Monreal and Teatro Bol-anon Artistic Director Gardy Labad.
TAWAG SA BANTAYAN is a devised contemporary theater piece portraying the historical events leading to the construction of the historic watchtower perched on a promontory by Maribojoc Bay. The community drama highlights dramatic monologues interwoven and essayed through the classical dance form from the South called the Pangalay. Pangalay Choreography is by Ligaya Amilbangsa and Nanette Matilac, modern dance interpretation by Alfonso Corbeta, production design by Francis Sarmiento, video montage by Teddy Ramasola, lights design by Jerameel Decasa. Emmanuel Boc and Toto Cuhit provided acting training to the group.
The Punta Cruz Cultural Collective was established to provide a dynamic and interactive component in the envisioned Punta Cruz eco-cultural tours under the banner program called BLESSED MARIBOJOC which was envisioned to help uplift livelihoods in the area through eco-cultural initiatives. The project also aims to establish the Castillo de San Vicente Punta Cruz Watchtower as a national historical landmark establishing the significance of historic monuments in the province. Both Governor Erico Aumentado and Maribojoc Mayor Leoncio Evasco Jr. have pledged sustaining support towards this direction.
Tickets for this culmination are at P300 which includes dinner by the scenic watchtower and the cultural shows and can be bought through the BANGON Office (Tel. Nos. 4113431 and 5019516), or CCAD (Tel. Nos. 5019287 and 4113946), or through the Maribojoc LGU.
