Sining-lahi Polyrepertory, the resident student theater group of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, will be staging Yoji Sakate's "A Contemporary Noh Play: Three Sisters" on September 1-2, 2 and 5 PM, at the PUP Theater, COC Bldg. Anonas St., Sta. Mesa Manila.

 Translated by Rody Vera, Directed by Rommel Iquin and Produced by Mary Ann Fate Erni, this will serve as the group's laboratory production "DULARALAN", on their 35th season of staging quality plays throughout the PUP Community. Unlike any other productions, DULARALAN, is the group's training grounds for beginners especially to the new members of the organization. It has a question and answer portion at the end of the play that will give the audience a chance to ask the director and the staff anything about the said production.

A story about war, love and passion, Yoji Sakate's "Three Sisters" is about the encounter of actors and soldiers at the unexpected situation. During war, retreating soldiers who were looking for camp site barge in to a ruins of a theatre thinking that it's the perfect place for them to stay. Later on they notice the presence of actors and started to converse with them. Few conversations leads to another which makes them discover that the actos we're actually holding a memorial service honoring the souls of the dead lying on the theatre. This is a Free Admission play for PUP Community and guests.

Musikaramay: Music for a Cause

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Music is very powerful tool that can touch people's lives. Last August 10, STI Caloocan was introduced to a non-profit organization, MUSIKARAMAY : MUSIKA (Music) + KARAMAY (EMPATHIZE ) which aims to BUIILD A LEAGUE OF REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES THRU STREET MUSIC. This advocacy was founded by the band CLIMAX, which basically plays in the streets around Metro Manila (namamalimos) to raise funds for different charitable institutions.

They've raised funds for the Bohol earthquake victims, typhoon Rubi and typhoon Yolanda survivors, Aeta communities in Tarlac and Subic, kids with cancer at PCMC and NCH and currently has 10 scholars at Blessed Ville Special School in Cavite. Partnering with Musikaramay, AOC Monitors, Philips LED TV, Philips Monitors, Globe, Jollibee, Chowking and Yoshinoya, STI CALOOCAN'S mission was to touch the hearts of the students, through Music, and participate in raising money for our less fortunate brothers and sisters living at Sangandaan-Tugatog cemetery.

With powerful renditions of popular songs from Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, etc.., STIers began gathering at the covered court area, started dancing and singing. Some even jammed and sang with them on stage. The whole experience made everyone ecstatic. But the most important thing is it made the students aware that the act of giving can make a difference our the society. One by one the students started giving from their hearts and shared their blessings. Before the event ended, the box where the donations were kept was already full. BeSTI at it’s finest. REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES indeed!!

It’s an Adventure this September on Discovery Channel!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Discovery Channel brings back two of its long-running series and adds two new shows to its roster this September. The first of the -BER months brings a new kind of adventure to Discovery viewers, from homemade science videos to King Crabs and, yes, treasure hunting!

All across the planet, curious adventurers are doing scientific things that nobody else has tried before. These self-appointed heroes of home-made science do not only perform bizarre experiments and crazy stunts. They’re filming themselves in action, too, and uploading them on the internet for the world to see - and appearing to get away with defying the laws of science!

In an attempt to demystify the mysterious, Ean Nasrun scours the internet across the globe for the best of the weirdest, wackiest and downright insane examples of un-sung internet science heroes. Then, it's over to our top team of Malaysian and global science geeks to analyse how they do it, why they do it, and who deserves to be chosen as the very best of the best.

Be prepared to be stunned, awe-struck and enlightened! It’s science, but not as you know it!

Explore the geeky side of the internet in YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED with Ean Nasrun premiering this September 9, airing Wednesdays at 10PM.
