The Philippines has been declared by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as its Culture Capital for 2010 to 2011. As the region’s culture capital, the Philippines is tasked to host the 4th Meeting of the ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Culture and Arts (AMCA) and the 6th Senior Officials Meeting for Culture and Arts (SOMCA) in Clark, Pampanga in March 2010. In February, as a prelude, an Asean puppetry festival and conference is scheduled for the last week of the month a part of the International Festival of Arts.
Along with the said meetings, the Philippines will also host the 4th ASEAN Festival of Arts (AFA). With the theme “The Best of the ASEAN: From Ancestral Roots to New Artistic Routes of Expression Mobilizing Cultural Diversity for the UN-MDGs,” the festival will highlight the creativity and foster the exchange of ideas among the best artists from ASEAN countries. Each ASEAN member will showcase one of their country’s finest works in their chosen field of art (theater, music, literature, film, or dance).
As one of its contribution to the festival, the Philippines will be restaging “Baler sa Puso Ko,” an original zarzuela, with libretto by Dr. Isagani Cruz and music by Lutgardo Labad, that reflects the wealth of heritage, and the 400-year history of the town of Baler.
Performances for the AFA will be held at the Centennial Amphitheater of the Nayong Pilipino sa Clark Expo (NCPE). Meanwhile, film showings, workshops, poetry readings, and book launchings will take place at NCPE’s dormitory, arcadia, and library.
The Interagency Committee is jointly led by Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Alberto Romulo, and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) headed by Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary Vilma Labrador, with the support of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The aforementioned events serve as a continuing effort in promoting common identity and diversity, enhancing cultural heritage and tourism, and strengthening ties among members of the ASEAN. The successful projection of the ASEAN in the global culturescape through the Philippine Collective showcases the Philippines' rich tradition and talents.
With the Philippine International Arts Festival 2010 Ani ng Sining celebration this coming February as a prelude, NCCA Executive Director and Philippine ITI President Cecile Guidote Alvarez, along with CDC Chairman Benny Ricaforte, aims to “project the Philippines as the Cultural Gateway to the Southeast Asian region.”

Jo: female; high belt; 18-to late 20’s
The main heroine of the book, Jo is the second oldest sister and a tomboy. She adores writing of any kind, and plans as a girl to make her fortune with her pen. She is very passionate about writing.

She is often self-sacrificing, and has a strong maternal connection over her sister Beth who she adores.

Mrs. March (Marmee): female; alto; 40’s
The mother of the four March sisters, Marmee is the guide of the family. She appears to have infinite wisdom and patience, and an exceptionally charitable nature. She wants nothing more than her daughters' happiness, and knows how to teach them the lessons they need to achieve that happiness. Once a gentlewoman, Marmee knows that there is more to life than riches, and lives off the love of her family and not of money. Warm and loving.
Theodore Laurence (Laurie, Teddy): male; tenor; 18 – late 20’s
Shy and awkward. Befriended by Jo, Laurie is the grandson of the March's next door neighbor. He is impulsive, sensitive, and quickly to temper.

Mr. Laurence: male; character singing; 50 – 60

A crotchety old rich woman, Aunt March is both a blessing and a plague to the March sisters. She leaves her things to the girls when she dies, and pays for Amy to go to Europe for a few years. She employs Jo to keep her company, and hides her sentimental generous nature behind a hard exterior.
John Brooke: male; baritone; 20 – early 30’s

BOTO.... Another Musical
Boto-boto-boboto-bonana-fanna-fo-foto-fee-fy-momoto-boto
Written by Vince De Jesus, Liza Magtoto, & Anj Heruela
Directed by Phil Noble
February 5-7, 12-14, 19-21, 26-28, March 5-7, 2010
10am and 3pm
This play on voter's education is not just about the election, but about being a concerned citizen that may want change. Set in vaudeville style, the play is cast with 10 actors who do multiple roles in multiple stories. Generally episodic, the narrator, who plays an instrument live and sings some originally composed tacky campaign jingles, weaves the stories and comments on the scene and segues to the next. He may sometimes ask the audience for their opinion on controversial issues. Generally, the scenes may sound serious, but the attack is really comedy.
The stories follow the chronology of the election process, thus beginning with the voter's registration and ending with the need for vigilance even after election.
The first story is about an idealistic TEENAGER who wants to register, but his jaded GRANDPARENTS, supported by his apathetic cousin, try to stop him and question his idealism. This is followed by the episode on a couple who rely on vending bananaque and occasional work in construction for their income. As the WIFE tries to go to the miting de avance of a candidate she hates, she and her HUSBAND fight for their own opposing candidates, but actually in so doing, fight about the qualities they hate about each other.
We then center on the AMO and YAYA. The amo requires her personal staff to vote for a particular candidate who perpetuates political dynasties and feudal politics. Truth is, yaya wants to end her feudal relationship with her amo, who is ironically like a daughter to her, and she can't bring herself to vote for that questionable candidate, who may be the amo's secret lover.
A series of "what if" situations are then shown, exhibiting a future where automated machines may dictate the winner or where training schools for future leaders may be run, but the question is who will program these machines and run these schools?
The narrator then asks if automation may prevent cheating, and he sings about situations where it may not, thus necessitating the voter's vigilance.
One of such situations involve vote buying, which happens to a bloc of voters - the gay parloristas. The unity of this bloc of voters may break when one of them become disgruntled with recent events and think of leaving the country. But then, they are given more "equal" opportunities if they do vote for a certain candidate.
Guarding the process after the votes through people's participation in governance becomes the theme in the story about a voter who is thrown into our own world, and who comes from an ideal parallel universe. She tries to assert her right as a citizen, and discovers she can employ the people's initiative to oust their mayor. Instead, she is hounded by authorities. Her twin in this parallel universe couldn't care less, but she is the one imprisoned instead.
A miting de avance happens and all candidates fight for their posts. In a production number involving a sexy dancer and grandparents who indignify themselves, they later strip themselves of the gimmickry and along with enlightened voters, say simply what they want. The narrator leaves the audience with a question about what they want for their country, and how they may want to get it.
