When the Manila Metropolitan Theater (abbreviated as MET) was formally opened on December 10, 1931, it was considered the country’s first national theater. In 1973, it was inscribed as a National Historic Landmark. The National Museum of the Philippines declared it a National Culture Treasure in 2010 because it’s a unique, well-preserved Art Deco building of an outstanding size in Asia.
It hasn't been always been in the limelight since its opening. Before it re-acquired its stature as the "Grand Dame of Manila," the building has suffered. The MET was damaged during the 1945 Battle of Manila and was used for various purposes in the following years—as a boxing gym, a seedy motel, a gay bar, a basketball court, a garage, and a warehouse. It was restored under the auspices of Imelda Marcos in 1978 and then shuttered again in 1996 due to conflicts of ownership between the City of Manila and the government insurance company that sponsored its restoration.
A government arm, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) bought the theater from the the government insurance company in 2015 and started restoration work in February 2017. After its most extensive public restoration efforts, the MET reopened on December 10, 2021—90 years after its inauguration
The building was designed by a Filipino architect Juan M. Arrelano, who had to undertake additional studies in the United States to learn theater design, as he had previously specialized in Neoclassical buildings. His earlier works include the nearby National Museum of Fine Arts, Manila Post Office, and Jones Bridge.
The MET is known for its Art Deco design, but Arrelano made sure that Filipino decorative elements were incorporated throughout the building: batik patterns of the southern Mindanaon regions, capiz lamps, and banana leaf pillars. It gets better when you look up at the ceiling of the main theater, which is embellished with mangoes, bananas, and tropical leaves.

Frederico Caballero, culture bearer and chanter of Panay Bukidnon epics, has died. These above photos have been shared by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts of the Philippines with the following statement:
The Panay Bukidnon community in Garangan, Iloilo, held traditional funerary rituals to honor Manlilikha ng Bayan Federico Caballero.
The rituals commenced yesterday morning with the Daray and Haya, which provided an opportunity for the members of the Panay Bukidnon community to gather and grieve at the wake of MB Federico Caballero. During this time, the preparation of Pangasi, a local rice wine, began for later ceremonial use.
In the afternoon, a traditional eulogy known as Paghanduraw was presented by a community leader, highlighting MB Caballero's significant contributions as a master epic chanter and as a leader and mediator within the community. This eulogy was succeeded by the Pamalasan, where community elders contemplated the lessons and inspiration derived from the life and legacy of MB Caballero.
As night fell, the previously prepared Pangasi was distributed among community members, serving as the principal drink throughout the ongoing rituals. The Pangasi was also offered to the spirits of the deceased and various classes of spirits, in accordance with the beliefs of the Panay Bukidnon.
The funerary ceremonies for MB Federico Caballero included a series of Binanog performances, honoring the departed. The rituals reached their peak with an extended epic chanting that continued until the break of dawn today.
Many thanks to the Caballero family for keeping Panay Bukidnon culture - and therefore, parts of Visayan and Philippine cultures - alive against all odds. May his chants live on in the generation that come after him.

POST EDSA REVOLUTION CONTRIBUTION IN THE PHILIPPINE LITERATURE
The fall of the Marcos dictatorship in 1986 marked a turning point in contemporary Philippine literature, as writers gained greater freedom to express themselves. Writing during the Martial Law regime was characterized by militancy and belligerence, derived from the political culture of the underground national democratic movement. After the regime fell, the literary scene became disoriented, resulting in a proliferation of concerns taken up by individual writers and groups. However, the emergence of creative writing centers and writers' organizations, as well as the creation of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts in 1992, helped to provide support for writers and foster a "national literature." Non-governmental organizations also played a role in recognizing writers from specific sectors of society. Campus publications provided another outlet for non-traditional, experimental writing. Post-EDSA literature is characterized by an emerging critical orientation, adventurousness in publishing, and a focus on the retrieval and recuperation of writing in Philippine languages. Contemporary literature uses English and Filipino as major media, and explores themes ranging from socio-political discussions to personal thoughts and feelings. Literature is a venue for the search for identity, as well as the exploration of issues like human rights violations, the experiences of overseas Filipino workers and migrants, and the effects of poverty and power dynamics. The post-EDSA revolution contributed significantly to the development of Philippine literature, creating an environment where writers could tackle a wide range of subjects reflecting the socio-political realities of the country. Overall, the post-EDSA literary scene is marked by an adventurous and critical spirit, with an emphasis on exploring a wide range of issues and using literature as a tool for self-expression and social commentary.

What is Wushu Sanda???
Wushu sanda is the official Chinese boxing full-contact combat sport.[2] Sanda is a fighting system which was originally developed by the Chinese military based upon the study and practices of traditional Chinese martial arts and modern combat fighting techniques; it combines boxing and full-contact kickboxing, which includes close range and rapid successive punches and kicks, with wrestling, takedowns, throws, sweeps, kick catches, and in some competitions, even elbow and knee strikes.[3][4]

]Wushu is practiced both through forms, called taolu, and as a full-contact combat sport, known as sanda.[2][3] It has a long history of Chinese martial arts and was developed in 1949 to standardize the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts,[4] though attempts to structure the various decentralized martial arts traditions date back earlier when the Central Guoshu Institute was established at Nanjing in 1928.

History of Wushu Sanda
https://boec.com/history-of-wushu/
In 1958, the government established the All-China Wushu Association as an umbrella organization to regulate martial arts training. The Chinese State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports took the lead in creating standardized forms for most of the major arts. During this period, a national Wushu system that included standard forms, teaching curriculum, and instructor grading was established. Wushu was introduced at both the high school and university level. This new system seeks to incorporate common elements from all styles and forms as well as the general ideas associated with Chinese martial arts. Stylistic concepts such as hard, soft, internal, external, as well as classifications based on schools such as Shaolin, Taiji, Wudang and others were all integrated into one system. Wushu became the government sponsored standard for the training in martial arts in China. The push for standardization continued leading to widespread adaptation. In 1979, the State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports created a special task force to teaching and practice of Wushu. In 1986, the Chinese National Research Institute of Wushu was established as the central authority for the research and administration of Wushu activities in China.
Changing government policies and attitudes towards sports in general lead to the closing of the State Sports Commission (the central sports authority) in 1998. This closure is viewed as an attempt to partially de-politicize organized sports and move Chinese sport policies towards a more market-driven approach. As a result of these changing sociological factors within China, both traditional styles and modern Wushu approaches are being promoted by the International Wushu Federation.

MEGAWORLD BUILDS A ‘WORLD MUSEUM’ IN CEBU
The P1.2-billion Mactan World Museum will feature curated pieces and cultural artifacts highlighting centuries of friendship between the Philippines and Spain
Pioneering township developer Megaworld is building a modern museum inside its 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu as an ode to the island’s cultural pride and historical significance.
The P1.2-billion Mactan World Museum will rise along Newtown Boulevard just in front of Megaworld’s 8 Newtown Boulevard residential condominium. It will feature an extensive collection of historic pieces, curated by Dannie Alvarez, president, Alliance of Greater Manila Museums, Inc. (AGMMI) and former head of Committee on Museums of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). This collection highlights the friendship and rich cultural exchange between the Philippines and Spain during the past centuries.
The museum will lend a visual retelling of the travel and arrival of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his crew in Mactan, his defeat against fearless tribal leader Lapu-Lapu, and the Hispanic heritage of the Manila Galleon trade. The museum will feature five main exhibit galleries on the second-floor showcasing collections, artifacts, replica mementos, and interactive virtual displays related to various influences and historical events between the Philippines and Spain. These subjects include Spain’s quest for spices, the Kingdom of Sugbu, Magellan’s early expeditions, and the Battle of Mactan, among others.
The museum will also have two performance halls–a Flamenco Studio and a Multimedia Room–which can be combined into one main hall and accommodate about 270 people. Here, visitors can enjoy watching traditional Spanish dance performances and short play productions. An immersive hall also provides guests with an audio-visual experience of historical events during the Spanish regime in the country.
“It has always been part of our townships’ mission and identity to celebrate the arts, culture, and heritage of every location where we are present. We are excited to bring our plans to fruition for the Mactan World Museum here in Lapu-Lapu City, a destination that plays a big historical significance as far as the Philippines-Spanish heritage is concerned. Being at the center of The Mactan Newtown, this museum will provide locals and tourists with a creative avenue to connect, share interests as a community, expand knowledge, and form a deeper appreciation not only for Mactan but also for our nation’s history,” says Graham M. Coates, head, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.
To add to the grandeur of the majestic building, three life size monuments will be featured prominently around the structure. Statues of Lapu-Lapu and King Philip II will be both situated along the path leading to the museum’s entrance. Beside the main fountain is the Spanish king atop his horse frozen mid-gallop while Lapu-Lapu’s statue, on the other side of the fountain, will be captured with his arms raised as he copies the wings of the Philippine Eagle perched on his arm. Another life size monument of Ferdinand Magellan will also be found at the museum’s back garden along Newtown Boulevard, with the explorer depicted holding up a globe on his right hand.
Apart from its collection of historical items and art, the museum will also host several other activities rooted in Filipino-Spanish traditions and culture, such as a seasonal bazaar showcasing Cebu’s main delicacies, a guitar-making and retail area, and a self-operated Filipino-themed photo studio.
The Mactan World Museum will be the latest development rising inside The Mactan Newtown. Soon, the township will also feature the Mactan Expo Center, a two-level standalone convention center.
Currently, the township serves as home to topnotch residential condominium developments, office towers, the 547-room Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown, the 550-room Belmont Hotel Mactan–both managed and operated by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts–and the Mactan Newtown Beach. Also inside the township are schools led by the Newtown School of Excellence, retail shops, service outlets, and restaurants, including a diverse selection of local cuisines at the Mactan Alfresco.
The Mactan World Museum is the fourth museum property Megaworld is building inside its townships after the Chinatown Museum in Lucky Chinatown, and the Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art (ILOMOCA) and the Brandy Museum in Iloilo Business Park. The World Museum is targeted to open within the next three years.

He was born in Palasinan, Cabiao, Nueva Ecija. He spent most of his time with poet friends like Virgilio S.
