Feature: Sa Likod ng mga Eksena: Sa Punong ‘To x Ang Korona

12/19/2018 07:55:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

Bahagya na lamang ang nakikitang sinag ng araw.

Pasado na sa oras ng ensayo at wala nang maibubuga pa ang mga tao dahil sa maghapong pagkahapo. Paos na ang mga boses at nasaid na ang lahat ng mga luha. Wala pang kadahon-dahon ang mga puno, hamak na tubo pa lamang ang espada, payong lamang ang baril, at simpleng plastik na laruan ang hinirang na korona.

Lilipas ang ilang linggo at uulit ang ganitong eksena. Pero unti-unting magkakadahon ang mga puno, magiging tunay ang espada, baril na ang baril, at may kapangyarihan na ang korona.

Hanggang sa isang araw ay nasaksihan na ito ng madla.

Ang produksyong pinamagatang “Sa Punong ‘To” at “Ang Korona” na ipinalabas noong Disyembre 5 at 6 ay proyekto ng klaseng Filipino Drama (FD), isang interest course sa Grado 12. Naglalayon itong ipakita ang kanilang mga kakayahan at natutunan sa isang semestreng workshop ng pag-arte.

Kaiba sa mga nagdaang taon na nagsadula ang mga klase sa FD ng mga nailathala nang dula ng mga manunulat na Pilipino, ang iskrip ngayong taon ay gawa ng mga mismong mag-aaral ng UPIS. Sumulat ng orihinal na dula para sa FD ang mga mag-aaral sa Grado 10 na nasa Social Sciences and Humanities track bilang proyekto sa kanilang cluster course na Malikhaing Pagsulat (MP).

Isinulat ng grupo nina Yel Brusola, Therese Aragon, Jelena Evangelista, Franz Joves, Miggy Castro, Ronnel Fernando, at Gabby Arevalo, ang “Sa Punong ‘To” ay tumatalakay sa iba’t ibang uri ng pag-ibig sa magkakaibang panahon. Nabuo ang produksyong ito sa direksyon nina Wenona Catubig at Roan Ticman. Pinagbidahan ito nina Samuel Silvestre, Max Salvador, Geraldine Tingco, Fred Samonte, Yanna Reblando, at Yumi Dela Torre.

“Nagulat kami sa materyal na ibinigay sa amin dahil hindi namin inakala na mga Grado 10 ang nagsulat nito. Natuwa kami sa 'premise' ng napunta sa aming kuwento, lalo na ang mga actors. Bagaman may ilan kaming mga binagong linya, para lang naman ito maging mas maikli ang buong produksyon dahil mayroon kaming time limit,” ayon sa direktor ng “Sa Punong ‘To” na si Catubig.

Ang “Ang Korona” naman ay akda ng grupo nina Liane Bachini, Eloisa Dufourt, Kathleen Cortez, Alyssa Avila, Christine Caparas, Rochelle Gandeza, at Kyla Francia. Tungkol ito sa apat na pinuno na nais lamang matulungan ang kani-kanilang sektor sa pamamagitan ng pakikipagdiyalogo sa hari at sa reyna. Ngunit dahil sa mga hindi maaasahang kamahalan, umabot sa punto na sila na mismo ang nag-agawan sa kapangyarihan. Nabuo ang produksyon sa direksyon nina Alexandra Arugay at Francis Eloriaga. Pinagbidahan ito nina JN Fajutagana, Marlyn Go, Josh Santos, Alex Yangco, Craig Aquino, at Cheska Estabillo.

“Natuwa ako sa dula na sinulat ng MP dahil nakita ko ang potensyal nila. Hindi man ito perpekto, ipinakita nila ang kakayahan nilang magsulat ng hindi tula o karaniwang kuwento. At kung ito ang unang dula na naisulat nila, mahusay na ito para sa kanilang edad,” sabi naman ng direktor ng “Ang Korona” na si Arugay.

Nasa humigit-kumulang na isang buwan ng klase sa FD ang paghahanda ng lahat mula sa pagkabisado ng iskrip, pag-ensayo ng mga pagbigkas at paggalaw sa entablado, paggawa ng mga props, pati pag-iisip ng ideya para sa disenyo ng mga tiket at kung paano maibebenta ito.

“Napakahirap sa aming lahat, lalo na't pare-pareho kaming baguhan. Halos lahat kami ay unang beses magiging parte ng isang dula. Pero hindi namin ito hinayaang maging hadlang. Sa halip ay nagtulung-tulungan kami at naging suporta para sa isa't isa, naisadiwa namin ang esensya ng ‘teamwork’ kumbaga. May mga araw na wala sa focus ang mga actors, nagkukulang sa materials ang props team, nagloloko ang lights sa Audi[torium] o sadyang pagod lang talaga ang lahat dahil sa ibang mga requirements pero kinaya pa rin naming lahat. Sa tingin ko ay dahil hindi lang namin hinarap ang produksyon na ito bilang requirement sa Filipino Drama kundi isang pagkakataon upang maibuga ang aming mga talento at patunayan na kahit kami ay mga hamak na baguhan ay kakayanin namin,” sabi ni Catubig nang tanungin ukol sa paghahandang ginawa nila para sa produksyon.

Dagdag pa ni Arugay, “Sa tingin ko, napadali ang paghahanda para sa dula dahil sa aking mga ka-batch na masipag at magagaling sa kanilang trabaho. Siyempre, mayroong mga stressful na sandali, ito naman ay naging ‘worth it’ sa dulo. Ako ay proud sa nailabas na mga dula ng FD at MP.”

Tinatayang 87 katao ang dumalo noong unang araw at 129 naman noong huling pagpapalabas. Inaasahang hindi ito ang huling beses na magsasama sa isang produksyon ang mga klase ng Filipino Drama at Malikhaing Pagsulat.//ni Rain Grimaldo

Sports: Junior Fighting Maroons comes face-to-face with Baby Tamaraws

12/19/2018 07:52:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

The University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) Junior Fighting Maroons faced their 6th loss this season against Far Eastern University (FEU) Baby Tamaraws last December 12, 2018 at the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym.

It was rough for the Junior Maroons at the start of the game. Their opponent had a tight defense which made the Junior Maroons struggle to score. During the 2nd quarter, with the Baby Tamaraws only 8 points ahead, the Junior Maroons tried to catch up. The shots they had were constantly matched by the Baby Tamaraws which made it even more difficult for them to catch up. The game ended with a score of 72 - 102, in favor of the Baby Tamaraws.

Despite the loss, Ray Allen Torres led the Junior Maroons’ game with a total of 23 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, followed by Polo Labao with a total of 17 points, 17 rebounds and 1 assist.

“Siguro masasabi ko lang is hindi namin nama-make [‘yung] shots namin and may mental lapses sa defense,” Torres said. “[We should] stay focused and practice hard this coming Thursday and Friday and be ready to get the win. Definitely we need to work hard and kalimutan na ‘yung 1st round, bago[ng] round na so bagong mindset and change [in] our mentality,” he added.

Their last game for the first round of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 81 was against the University of the East Junior Warriors last Saturday, December 15 at the same venue.

“Meet your deadlines. Ngayon wala kayong ligtas kasi may Viber group na kayo [...] Pero noong araw, old school, pagagalitan kami, as in sermon.  Kunwari late sa deadline, ang sasabihin, ‘O, ano na namang rason mo ngayon?’” kuwento niya sa kaniyang karanasan noong siya ay nagsusulat pa lamang sa Aninag. “And in a way, dati bad trip, pero now, when I look back, na-appreciate ko. [...] The fact that they were so upset means that they were very passionate about how we do it. [...] Naniniwala ako sa old school, meet your deadlines. Dala-dala ko ‘yan hanggang ngayon.”

Isang malaking bagay ang pagbabahagi ni G. Ativo ng mga equipment sa MC. Bukod sa mas maraming magagamit ang mga mag-aaral ay mas maganda na rin ang kalidad ng mga materyal na kanilang ilalabas. Dagdag pa rito ay ang kaniyang mga paalala at aral para sa mga kasalukuyang estudyante ng UPIS.

“Ang taas ng tingin ng mga tao sa mga galing sa UPIS [...] kaya pagbutihin ninyo, dahil dala-dala niyo ‘yan [hanggang sa paglaki],” pabaon ni Sir Ativo matapos ang panayam. //nina Wenona Catubig at Josh Santos

Instrumental Music class performs in recital

THE GREATEST SHOW. Instrumental Music students beam with their instruments in hand as they pose after their recital. Photo Credit: Max Salvador

This year’s Instrumental Music (IM) class for the first semester held their recital last December 11, Tuesday, at the UPIS Auditorium.

Led by Prof. Shiela Jay Pineda, 29 students performed a few pieces for their class ensemble, as well as their chosen compositions. The students had the option of performing individually, as a group, or with accompanists.

For their chosen pieces, they were allowed to choose one classical and one modern piece to perform. Some played with a viola, ukulele, beatbox, bass guitar and/or keyboard while others opted to sing while playing their instrument.

The class prepared for the recital since the start of the first semester. During the 2nd quarter, the students started to work on their chosen songs while they continued learning a few more pieces for their class performance.

One of the goals of the recital was to showcase the students’ talents and hard work in learning how to play an instrument, particularly the guitar. Also, the recital aims to provide an opportunity for a communal learning experience by making music with and for others, and to increase the appreciation and enjoyment of music.

Despite challenges during the preparation, such as conflicting class schedules and cancellations due to unpredictable weather, Prof. Pineda shared her best experience about the recital. “Seeing the students put their hearts into learning and witnessing them play one piece at a time, especially those who did not know how to play the guitar or read notes when they signed up for this course,” she said.

“Ang pinakaimportanteng natutunan ko ay ang kahalagahan ng practice dahil malaki ang deperensya kapag meron at wala. [Bagaman] nakulangan ako ng oras para magpractice outside IM, ginagawa ko, bago mag-IM ako nagpapractice. Napakasaya ng recital, kahit kinabahan, na-enjoy ko pa rin ang buong experience,” Alex Yangco shared about his experience during class and the recital itself.//by Nicole Desierto & Roan Ticman

UP JFA holds seminar series

12/10/2018 07:20:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

The UP Junior Finance Association (UP JFA) conducted the seminar series, “Project Sukli: Change for Change” for Grades 9-11 students of University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) from September 17 to November 29.

A seminar for students who show passion in the field of business and finances, the aim of Project Sukli is to bring financial literacy to public schools proving that not only the well-educated and rich people get to talk about this topic. The organization also chose UPIS for its demographic because it has students from different social classes.

Having an interactive type of discussion, the seminar had four main topics namely Personal Finance, Entrepreneurship, Economics, and Investing.

In every week of the project, there were speakers from the field of finance who came to share their knowledge about financial literacy such as Benjie Sandoval, Assistant Professor at UP Diliman; Adrian Castro, Teaching Fellow at UP Diliman; and Zachari Fonacier, Director of JFund at UP JFA.

“Yung gusto namin not necessarily na mag-do well in the sense na maraming mag-attend. Yung do well for us is really, at the end of the program, we want them to know more about [financial literacy]. Really, to feel more confident about themselves with regards to finance kasi yun yung big problem na [napansin] namin especially with the kids. Even with educated students [they say], ‘finance yan baka mahirap baka masyadong complicated.’ We want to take that away [dahil] no matter anong gusto mong gawin sa buhay importante pa rin ang finance,” said Joseph Busto, director for Project Sukli.

“[Project Sukli] was really interesting since maraming iba't ibang fields and topics na pinag-usapan. Some sessions really taught me how I can start investing or engaging in the stock market as a student, and how different financial products work,” shared 10th grader Robert Ambat.

At the end of this project, the students who attended the seminar had a culminating activity at the UPIS Ramp Area, which aimed to integrate and use everything they learned from it. “Naapply po namin ang mga natutunan namin mula sa bawat session ng Project Sukli sa project,” said Magan Basilio, a Grade 10 student.

After UPIS, the organization plans to conduct the same seminar series for other public schools.//by Nica Desierto, Nico Javier and Bea Jacinto

Panayam sa panunuring pampanitikan, idinaos

12/09/2018 08:21:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

Upang mapalalim ang kaalaman sa panunuring pampanitikan, nagsagawa ng panayam sa kilalang manunulat na si Dr. Eli Guieb III ang mga mag-aaral ng Grado 11 sa Silid 111 ng University of the Philippines Integrated School 7-12 Building noong Nobyembre 14.

Inimbitahan ng kanilang mga guro na sina G. Carlo Pineda at Prop. Rowena Naquita si Dr. Guieb para mapagyaman ang kanilang karanasan sa biograpikal na pagtanaw, isang dulog sa panunuring pampanitikan na siyang paksa sa Filipino 11.

Open forum ang pormat ng panayam kung saan malayang nagtanong ang mga mag-aaral tungkol sa buhay ng panauhin bilang awtor at sa kaniyang mga akdang “Kasal” at “Bunso” na kanilang binasa sa klase.

Ayon kay Cedric Creer ng 11- Amado V. Hernandez, “Dahil po sa kaniyang talk, nalaman po namin ang ilang bahagi ng kaniyang buhay na ginamit namin upang suriin ang dalawa sa kaniyang mga akda. Dahil din po dito, nagkaroon po ako ng bagong pananaw kung paano ko titingnan o babasahin ang isang akda.”

Si Dr. Guieb ay nakapagkamit na ng ilang gantimpala sa pagsulat tulad sa prestihiyosong Palanca Awards for Literature. Bukod sa pagiging manunulat, filmmaker din siya at kasalukuyang propesor sa UP Kolehiyo ng Komunikasyong Pangmadla.//nina Marlyn Go at Alex Yangco

Alumni play against UPIS

12/09/2018 08:16:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

The first-ever basketball and volleyball exhibition game of University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) faculty, staff, and students against some alumni of the school was held last November 14 and 16.

This was part of the Health and PE Days 2018: Health, Fitness, and Wellness Fair. According to Prof. Grace Sumayo, the matches were organized to promote friendship and to show that it is good to come back to their alma mater because it will always be their family.

“Importante siya kasi nabi-build 'yung camaraderie sa pagitan ng teachers, sa lahat ng stakeholder ng UPIS: alumni, faculty, staff, students,” addded Mrs. Marvie Manalo, a faculty and alumna of UPIS.

On the other hand, an intense volleyball game was witnessed. On the first 2 sets, the alumni led the game with 25-21 and 25-20. But during the third and fourth set, the UPIS community bounced back as they scored 16-25 and 21-25. However, the alumni made sure to reclaim the win in the fifth set, with 25-15.

“'Yung pagbalik-balik ng alumni kailangan iyon ng lahat ng schools, especially sa sports program […] Tapos, another thing, siyempre support din sa mga current athletes natin. Refreshing na makakita ng people going back tapos 'ayun nakikihalubilo pa rin sa players,” shared Vincent Rafael Dario of UPIS Batch 2004.

“Alam naman natin [ang] situation natin pero actually, compared sa time namin before, suwerte na sila ngayon kaya, kahit ano man dumating sa kanila, always be grateful sa support na nabibigay sa kanila, be grateful sa coaches, be grateful sa teammates, be grateful sa opportunity na makalaro,” Dario advised to his juniors.

“Parang bumabalik ka 10 years ago, ang saya, may drummers, parang high school ulit,” said Dana Daguman of UPIS Batch 2012. “Sa mga juniors namin, tuloy niyo lang ‘yan. Ang gagaling niyo! Kapag naging alumni kayo, huwag kayong kakalimot,” she added as a message to the juniors.

“Sa Juniors, good luck. Sana mag final four sila. 'Yung hindi namin nakuhang final four sana sila makakuha no'n,” said Benz Nacpil of UPIS Batch 2014.//by Nicole Desierto and Geraldine Tingco
