HISTORY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES

Physical education has been in the Philippines’ educational curriculum since the era of the Spaniards, and even before that. Pre-Colonial Philippines had physical activites that were to help with their survival but also for recreation and religious ceremonies. During the time of the Spanish colonial period, the culture of the Philippines archipelago, combined with the culture brought on by the Spanish, created an environment where play was discouraged. The only physical recreation allowed was those that had some connection to the church. Some recreational games of this era were; Piko-piko, Luksong tinik, Taguan, Bato-bato, and Tarumpo. Different dances were also a part of Filipino physical activities, same with different pastimes like swimming, and cockfighting.

When schools and colleges were established in the country, it took until 1920 for physical education to be made a part of its curriculum. The educational institutions that were established did not have any physical education even schools for men. Yet, even when physical education was still not part of the curriculum, clubs were made around different sports and physical activities. In 1901 though, during the American occupation, Physical exercise was introduced as a subject for public schools and a program for athletes was made, with basketball and track and field being some of the sports introduced.

Nowadays, physical education now has a multitude of different activities for students to do, from regular exercises, to dances, yoga, swimming, martial arts, and sports like basketball, volleyball, etc. Physical education is now an integral part of a student’s experience throughout their school days from elementary to college. It helps teach the students in proper mechanics to use in physical activities and proper techniques, the importance of such activities to health. Even when a student’s path in their career does not have a focus, physical education helps instill an appreciation and understanding for health and fitness.

Meet my very first art mascot Vryen Aadraasee! He’s a TiniKing. I added wings to him and combined crown designs that came with the base to make his Mad Hatter crown like halo. The base I used to make him with and the TiniKing species belongs to LockworkOrange on FA!

Vicente Manansala Artworks

The Bird Seller (1976)

This artwork is considered as one of Manansala’s finest compositions in the entirety of his career in painting. This is where the concept of cubism started to develop throughout Asia. The trademark style of Manansala with unusual combinations of hues and gradients are found in the artwork. It was portraying a typical vendor of tropical birds through the help of textures and shapes on the overall surface.

Luksong Tinik (1973)

With inspiration from Fernando Amorsolo, Vicente Manansala started to develop a passion in creating recognizable genre scenes for his artworks, one of which is the “Luksong Tinik”. With his signature style of cubism and clever play of colors and structure, he was able to express a clear representation of a typical game for children. This definitely set a new standard for Philippine Art.

Still Life with Watermelon and Mangoes (1957)

In this artwork, it can be seen that the idea of cubism has been painted through the use of watercolor. This is a series of 4 paintings that represent the image of a typical meal plate on a table throughout the day. Manansala showcases a mouthwatering array of fruits and fish with perfect and complete detail.

Crush Chronicles #3

Ngayong gabi, March 12, Thursday, in-announce ni Pres. Duterte ang Metro Manila lockdown starting March 15 until April 14, 2020. Wala kaming pasok during that whole duration pero may online classes kami. Hassle pero G sige lang.

Lumuwas ako kahapon kasi magpa-participate kami sa Centerstage ng GMA as audience jury. 3:15 pm ang calltime namin sa Infinitea Maginhawa, and I arrived there mga 3:30 pm, not too late para sa 3:45 pm departure. Wala pa siya. Ayoko siya masyadong hanapin kasi baka ano na naman sabihin ng mga tao. More on new trainees ang kasama namin ngayon since busy ang mga active members. Apparently, merong may crush sa kanya na isang new trainee and it has been bothering me ever since nalaman ko last Sunday. Buti nalang experienced na ako umarte na wala akong pakialam. I can even joke around about it na hindi halatang affected ako. We were playing with my zoom lens nang dumating na yung mga sundo namin. Nakasakay na pala siya sa L300 na isang sundo namin. I wanted to take the seat beside him pero, ayun, sa sumunod na sasakyan nalang kami pinasakay. Medyo sad pero G lang. Chill lang ako.

Nakasabay ko sa sasakyan yung trainee na may crush sa kanya. “Huy, balita ko may crush ka na member ah?” sabi ko sa kanya. Nginitian niya lang ako. Why do I feel so threatened? ‘Di naman ‘to selos kasi ‘di naman sila close pero I can’t stop thinking na baka soon maging mas close na sila kaysa sa’min. Overthinking si ategurl niyong Virgo. Panic ka ghOrL?! Maya-maya, nagsalita yung isang new trainee na katabi niya, “ate, may jowa na ‘yan!” HALA. PARANG MAY FIREWORKS AKONG NAKITA. Nagdiwang buong pagkatao ko. Parang nabunutan ako ng tinik. Okay, moving on, may jowa na siya so I got nothing to worry about. ‘E pero teka bakit ang landi? HAHA char crush lang naman daw kasi. We’ve been there naman ata lahat. Bakit wala ka bang crush na artista?!

Pagkarating namin sa GMA, I can’t recall how we ended up walking side by side papunta sa building mismo. Nakachikahan ko pa siya about the COVID-19′s new cases na in-announce kanina sa news. Pina-standby muna kami sa 2nd floor before kami papasukin sa set. ABA. Si ategurl niyong may jowa pero may crush sa crush ko, tumabi sa kanya! OKAY. OKAY SIGE. Kalma lang. Baka naka-joke time ng mga ibang trainees kaya itinabi sa kanya. OKAY SIGE LET’S JUST SAY NA GANUN NA NGA. Kalma lang ako na nakikipagchikahan sa mga katabi ko. Naglaro nalang ako ng MLBB habang naghihintay na papasukin na kami. Gusto ko yung kasa-start ko lang ng brawl, bigla na kaming tinawag. AFK pa tuloy. Hindi ko alam pero naging magkasunod kami sa pila. I didn’t want to move away from my spot kasi for sure if ma-maintain ko na ganito yung pila, makakatabi ko siya sa audience area. AND NAKATABI KO NGA SIYA. Iba na naman pabango niya. Share ko lang na medyo sensitive ako kapag nagpapalit mga tao ng pabango. Nade-detect ko agad kapag nag-change ng scent yung tao. Mehn, bakit kahit anong amoy bagay sa kanya? Kasisimula palang namin mag-chat nang bigla siyang palipatin sa ibang seat. Nagmura ata ako under my breath. Magkalapit naman kami pero ‘di magkatabi. Naamoy ko pa rin yung pabango niya. Isang tao lang kasi pagitan namin. Kunwari okay lang ako. PERO KASI NAMAN DAPAT KATABI KO NA SIYA E. Ang lungkot! Ang pait! HAHAHA. Bad trip tuloy ako. Ang sad. Bago mag-end yung shoot, I reached out my hand sa kanya and he held it for more than 3 seconds. Okay na ‘ko ulit. Re-charged.

Paghatid nung mga sasakyan sa amin kung saan kami sinundo kanina, sinabi niya sa akin na may dala pala siyang car. 9:30pm na nun pero because of some issues, 11:00pm na kami nakaalis ng QC. Badtrip na badtrip na ako kasi inaantok na ako. Yun yung first trip namin together na tahimik lang ako. Hindi ko siya kinakausap. Maya-maya nung malapit na ako bumaba, kinalabit niya ako. Daan muna daw kami sa Mercury Drug para makabili siya ng vitamins. Edi sumama naman ako. More time together. ANG ARTE BWISIT HEBOR PA. Bumili ako ng cetirizine kasi may nakain ata akong ‘di pwede sa akin. Hinatid niya lang ako sa sakayan, tapos umuwi na siya. Naka-hug ako bago kami naghiwalay. 1:30am na ako nakauwi pero masaya akong nakita ko siya.

I never expected na yun na pala yung last time na makikita ko siya. Next month ko na ulit siya makikita. Medyo nanghina ako sa thought na ‘di ko siya makikita ng isang buwan pero anong magagawa ko. Actually, medyo dumadaan nga sa isip ko na pwede naman kami magkita since nasa Marilao lang naman siya this month pero imposible namang makipagkita yun sa akin for no reason at all! ANG PAIT! #friendzoned

Magpo-post nalang ako ng cover ng “Pusong Ligaw” ngayong isang buwang walang pasok. Tutal mukhang siya lang namin iisipin ko sa buong isang buwan ng pagkakakulong ko sa bahay.

Chimes I never heard, or halos wore, the stone upon whose sheen I swore to shackle the sharks, the barks I blew across cinnamon and thyme in lieu of lupercals, lunes for lakes, rice-cakes, bullets, parapets, donjons: of these my bones sing like a book, beyond indigenes and ultimatums: white in the solid dream yet not contained in the plastic tide, wide brides side by side move these islands whose chamber of wisdom is the tomb, whose head of telex ticks jigsaw jungles in jasmine clouds and parrots in pine trees: whines the breeze, rankles the mind, march the rues—the fat-bellied nothing does not lose: of these my bones sing like a book, all these I remember: I walk on a strand of cobwebbed memory, I bring out my tools to incise the sounds in history, and I remember: him:: the cricket tree called to him with vultures in his eyes: he shut the gates of sunlight and propped epistles on the grass: the first spoke of a terribel war between shifting mirrors whose rage mathematic, technique pure, prevent waterclerks from clipping the revenue: a war of blood and brain cutting its own wound like a diamond, a hooded abstract in twenty carats: the second was a parable dressed in lemon and turpentine; its line, printed on sable, trumpeted tonsure as torture— an experiment in cancer and royal jigs: to invent what in the mind is optic or midget is to grease contumely, is to seal the concordat between pirates and papal henchmen: the words hissed like flame against metal: the terrible collusion that brought ignorance to these Islands: and the third, O the third was bantam, the third was brother to the ox, the third stuck its feathers in gum and broke the spine of priesthood: its intestines were solid gold: it cackled the monasteries to ruins: I walk on a strand of cobwebbed memory and I remember: metal wings beating conundrums in cathedral domes: that doomed warrior Magellan, rusting with metals in Mactan: that fruity sailor Legaspi, drowning in his fever while in his thick eyes Manila rose up on sticks and stones: that pale Rizal, pinned like a butterfly to his texts, Impotent as the alphabet he rode on: “offerings of gold and silver and brass, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goat’s hair and ram’s skin dyed red, and badger’s skin’s, and shittim wood, oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, andd for sweet incense, and onyx stones, and also stones to be set in blue ephod, and in blue breastplate”: the death with their dryads and decimals, their spirit like rubber mannequin—how long can they hold to the letters of tombs? The pen sprouts their flesh and numbers numb their bony solitude. So lost the ghost they bought with their last gold, desiring the warmth of womb, cursing the papers that etched their sins: I remember: like glass, or a blade of grass, I bend to the wind, throw the papers to the wind, hoping the rustle will cover the sound of ache in my heart for souls seeking new homestead for their head. But more it is for the world I weep to sweep away the decay of warfare and darkness, and I am old and childless, my words cannot shoot: The lotus moon hands maximum on my lute—its pluck has dry throats on the grass: alas! the lack the lutist laments liks the art in my tongue which cannot live long: my blood throbs with the wounds of ages— Lapulapu, Humabon, Sikatuna, Sulayman, Matanda, Mabini, Rizal, Bonifacio—they clog the arteries of my soul till I am aflame and through the heat I see my people’s corpses piled high inside th Walled City, their brains staining the streets, the children’s limbs scattered like garbage upon the mud, and the black words flapping like banners in the wind, “Death to the Infidels!”: my blood boils and I remember: the parables they strung around our necks as amulets against the unknown in the hope that catholic spells would expel the voodoo in our speech, as each to each we passed our sorrow: place the thumbs so, on the temples, and hear my words, “for what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?” Very like a kite I am, cackling for a piece of the moon: touch my words and my biography falls aparts: dig into my breast and I have no heart: all my patrimony burned with the fruit boats in the Pasig when we abandoned the brown gods for gunpowder and Paradise: whos eyes shape the picture of our sin?: whose dagger shall draw the poison from our blood?: what shall link our tongue to the silent speech of the grave so that brave words be quicker, be full, as I sing of things?”

In the past few years, many young poets have enlivened our literature with their fresh voices and unique interpretation of the human condition. Mostly products of the various writing workshops in the country, they respond to social and personal realities with the exciting and well-informed facility. Their reflections vibrate with a taut understanding of common virtues and falsities, with deft handling of poetic surfaces and undertows. His best-known work is the epic poetry trilogy “The Trilogy of Saint Lazarus,” made up of the “The Archipelago (1970), “Telex Moon” (1981) and “Sunlight on Broken Stones” (1999).

His works were; Sugat sa Salita was published in De La Salle University Press, 1987 Kirot ng Kataga was published in De La Salle University Press, 1995. Galaw ng Asoge was published in UST Press, 2004. Tinik sa Dila was published in The University of the Philippines Press, 2003; and more.

Unsolicited Review of “Rebulto”: Sculpting Mental Health Awareness in Theater

Madrigal, once again, made his point artistically louder and palatably relevant in his latest screenplay “Rebulto”, still bearing his unique writing and directing style with an unconventional yet familiar manner of teaching valuable life lessons similarly present in his earlier works such as “Si Dr. Kwago, Si Kosmeng Kuba at ang Mamaw” and “Ward 13”.

Adamson University’s Tinik ng Teatro, in its 10th season, premiered Rebulto in the Adamson Theater with two shows booked for the whole afternoon of March 18, 2019. The one-hour and half cocktail of all possible modes of expressiveness-slash-monologue-type back-reading of a life-thread centers on the life of Lion, a sculptor on the verge of retirement and is on full-mode preparing for his much-awaited final exhibit. His lifelong interest in sculpture has grown over the years, and at this time, he is on his final showcase which includes his last sculpture named Thea, which he has been working on enthusiastically and lovingly.

The play starts with a serious-toned interpretative choreography only to be cut-off with a funny intro, paving a reassuring note that this isn’t a typical play, rather an unconventional and modern one which deemed as a strategy to make the younger audience tuned in and interested. The long paragraph below would be an attempt to summarize everything I have witnessed before providing the hopeful criticism of it.

The flow of the story, as Lion reminisces his past, showed his childhood with a dysfunctional family – a loving mother who had a past of ballooned depression and a drunkard father who can be tagged as “nakakarimarim” or despicable (you’ll find out why later in this essay).

His interest in the human body and the influence of his mother to Greek studies inspired him to pursue the art of sculpture but in some way had affected him to act femininely which was apparent in how he plays with dolls, and this motivated his father, coming home one night heavily intoxicated and angry, to sexually abuse him at such young age.

Living in an inharmonious home with his mother being subjected to verbal and physical abuse, Lion opted to live normally, still pursuing his interest in sculpture, but self-harmed himself at times when he cannot carry through with his memories of abuse from his father. His mother, upon learning this and what his father did to him, tried to handle what has happened to her family unsuccessfully – mounting to a regressive depression and overdosing while his father ran off to escape such accusation only to be killed off in the streets in what can be assumed a result of his substance abuse (and by substance, and by assuming, it has something to do with the local war on substance, ehem, drugs, or so why would he be running all over the place and get shot down from nowhere, right?).

With all these, Lion still went through victoriously and kept living his life, following suit with his early adulthood years. Lion’s youth, which depicts common phases of friendship and love, has awarded him this time with both aspects happier and wonderful, unlike his childhood struggle, only to end up being betrayed by both friend and lover. Failing to find a similar envisioned future with the love of his life - Ersa and being rejected and left behind for an unclear reason as he proposed for them to get married, Lion gets accidentally hit as he mindlessly crossed the road, providing an explanation to why the reminiscing older Lion had a cane, limping as he told his story to the crowd.

Bearing a train of pains and gaining depression from his younger years, which is by the way can be assumed hereditary due to his mother’s condition, frustrated and hopeless Lion was further put into more anguish upon learning that Ersa’s rejection was caused by her unknown affair with none other than Lion’s childhood best friend Hamil. This anguish awakened the only sturdy and reliable thing in his life – his sculpture Thea – magnificent and dainty in her casted movement and being. Understanding that Lion’s anguish is unbearable already, Thea stood out to give Lion the refuge he needs and reaches out to him warmly, encouraging him to take revenge at the world by giving up and quitting the unfair life he is living.

Hinting the climax of Lion’s battle with himself, another interpretative choreography was rendered by the cast featuring an exhausted and confused Lion being influenced by an antagonizing Thea. The dance seemed to be Lion’s sanity battle, staging an internal fight to keep on breathing or take flight, away from all his despair, and into the loving embrace of Thea which signified Thea’s encouraged choice, a choice to end his life. Stage black.

And for its finale, an unexpected twist of event – or rather, mindset – portrayed Lion’s triumphant final exhibit show with an emcee about to reveal the much-awaited final sculpture created by Lion. Upon the taking off of the cloth covering his final piece, the expected lone-standing beautiful Thea was turned into a couple sculpture showing Thea embracing a self-sculpture of Lion, symbolized by his cane, both with smiling faces. This take off was ended with Lion coming out of the stage to give his ending remarks, in which he provided his imaginary audience with a brief backgrounder on his final piece – the very symbol of his victory against the battle he had with himself – bottling the event with his encouraging words to “speak up, seek help, keep on.”

Lion was able to overcome his depression. His pursuit to finish his final masterpiece passed by hand in hand with his journey through the series of downfalls in his life which all ended up in a happy note – a finished sculpture equal to an end of his own struggles.

Still, it had very specific scenes which were dark and deep and, as cautioned prior its beginning, can be triggering for certain people or would seem inappropriate. But the way the cast had carried such scenes were remarkable enough, balancing its darkness but easiness of being performed on stage. Masked with Greek-influenced theme and mix of current trends, overall, Rebulto tried to give its audience an easy-to-digest sandwich tackling the darker side of mental health.

But it was too easy, as an audience, to watch Lion’s time of struggling to his time of overcoming - - - with him ending the show with words of encouragement to the audience of his exhibit vis-à-vis the actual audience of the Madrigal’s play. Lion’s story might have tried to sell the “this-too-shall-pass” concept – that no matter how dark a person’s past has been better days will still come just as long as he or she chooses to not give up. The story’s resounding ending lesson of retaining a positive outlook in life is good and helpful, and could even be linked to Pygmalion Effect, perhaps, because generally, having better expectations also aid in actually achieving better situations. The fast-paced scenes from Lion and Thea’s thrilling dance-off, a quick lights off, and then a sudden happy twist of Lion still keeping up and breathing can be deemed exciting and supportive of the perceived general message of the play that life will still be good. And of course, going back to the essence of the play to still remain amusing to the crowd because of the slight plot twist, these scenes were necessary. For a normal viewer, this brought out the element of thrill and suspense because we really can’t tell if Lion’s going to let Thea totally win over and give up or if not. Fortunately, he didn’t. But for some who might still be dwelling in their dark days, it would have been more helpful if the play showed clear-cut solutions that could possibly help strike out the stigma on mental health. Offering an actual or visible portrayal of time-based solutions on overcoming depression, a possibly step-by-step guide or available solutions some of us could take, such as engaging with a mental health professional, bravely joining support groups, observing proper food intake and sleep, doing mindfulness activities or even doing recreational and even creative activities – like how Lion immersed himself with creating sculpture – a clearer picture showing that these things are doable, would have been beneficial for viewers, especially those with still limited knowledge on mental health or general psychology, to clearly understand how one can really win over mental health problems.

The play also touched issues on child-rearing and showed how critical it is to parent a child; after all, a damaged childhood is usually the root why people are experiencing mental health problems. Partly, it was a saddening realization that both Lion’s parents had horrible effects in the course of his lifetime and their part in the play had unpleasant endings. Rebulto, also, subtly communicated how the younger generation treats relationships – with the heightened trend of fearing commitment, tendencies of false love that also leads to infidelity, and how friendships are overtaken by self-serving decisions – and God, how we hope these aren’t true but all these are happening in our current society, and specifically, among the youth. And what’s greatly compromised is everyone’s mental health. Here we see how parenting should be taken seriously and that we should actually start working together for preventive measures. (*again, I shout with my typing, “moral recovery!”)

Largely, Rebulto was worthy to watch and I hope it could be shown again with larger crowds that can witness it, just as how much I would want to re-watch the rest of Madrigal’s earlier works. For someone who’s not directly practicing psychology-related tasks, the play, other than being a delight, also served as a breather and refresher on suppressed issues about mental health. With how the world is rushing all of us now, it’s always a good option to take a step back and relearn things – even the most basic ones we can consider – such as talking out with friends, doing things we like regardless if it seems uninteresting to others, being kind, being optimistic – and to remember that there’s always help available if we also make ourselves available to help ourselves and others.

And just as Lion’s positivity drew out overflowing-ly in the end of the play, may we also find ourselves the same, hopeful for what’s better ahead and fearless in speaking out, seeking help and keeping on.

Still, I would like to express my awe and appreciation to the cast, director, writer and the technical people behind this play. Mind you, these people are college ones yet they have performed exceedingly and surely has made the play’s impact felt by the audience. Long live AdU’s Tinik ng Teatro!

^ took me almost 3 months to finish this review piece (even had it lost along the hundred GB files I lost in space from 2 weeks ago, good thing I had it in a separate flash drive, huhuhu), at least I finished it as promised. ^_^
