The show, with its hilariously true insights into the differences between men and women, was greeted upon its Philippine premiere with uncontrollable laughter, knowing nods of agreement, and a resounding standing ovation!

And now, to satisfy the countless requests for a repeat engagement, "Defending the Caveman" returns on May 14(Friday), 15(Saturday), and 16(Sunday). All 3 dates are at 8:00pm and will be held this time at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, Podium 4, RCBC Plaza, Ayala Avenue cor Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City.

PETA launches Juan Tamad DVD

The election is the singular most powerful event that can change the course of our history. This is why the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) believes that the youth voters should be educated. They comprise the influential 5M votes which could actually swing the election results.

In October of 2009, PETA premiered a stage play, entitled Si Juan Tamad, Ang Diablo at Ang Limang Milyong Boto, a vaudeville-style musical which earned rave reviews from theater critics as well as other voters ed groups who said that the play is educational but highly entertaining as well.

With the support from FREEDOM TO CREATE-Singapore who funded a video production of the play, PETA will be spreading its wings to reach out to their Visayas and Mindanao viewers will not only remain as an elusive dream.

April 19, 2010, RMC Media Center- PETA had its launch of Vincent de Jesus' Si Juan Tamad, Ang Diablo at Ang Limang Milyong Boto DVD, in cooperation with Maskara Youth Theatre Guild of Rizal Memorial Colleges. Participating Organizations and Schools are: Rizal Memorial Colleges, Brokenshire College, Davao Doctors College, STEP-FA scholars, AYOS Na, Youth for Environment and Peace, Kaliwat Theater Collective and the San Antonio Disaster Management Group.

During the event, DVD kits of the said musical were distributed with a Discussion Guide so that Teachers and Youth Leaders can use it in classrooms and in their respective organizations. The objective of this video is to educate the young viewers on: The Importance of this Election; Criteria in Choosing a Candidate; Qualifications of a good leader; How to vote; How to safeguard our votes and ensure good governance.

Vincent de Jesus' Si Juan Tamad Ang Diyablo at ang Limang Milyong Boto is an entertaining, non partisan theatrical fare which focuses on the story of Juan Tamad and his journey that allowed him the Philippine election process as both a dirty and corrupt exercise and a chance to be able to instigate change through ones effort to be involved in the process.

For teachers and youth leaders: For details on how you can get a FREE copy of this video and the teacher’s kit, please send your email to erollelinusmiranda@yahoo.com.ph. (linusmiranda_maskara)

2010 Top Twenty Independent Artists Revealed

by Donna Villanueva

We are a group of young filmmakers from different colleges and universities. We firmly believe that independent filmmaking is a great way for an actor or filmmaker to develop his or her style and abilities and it's not about the paycheck. Our group did a comprehensive research about our Top Twenty independent artists aged 18 to 40 years old (10 males & 10 females) that are ubiquitous figures in Philippine independent cinema.

Our top lists of Independent actors were a mixed batch composed of mainstream/character actors and theater thespians. We accord cinema and television the same respect and rigor as we do theater. These are not just entertainment but are art forms as well. Only when we begin to treat actors as artists can we demand from them to perform with artistry. We treat movie and television actors the same way we do our theater actors.

We would like to acknowledge the following Actors who have contributed to the independent film for the past years;

Ms. Gloria Romero,Ms. Anita Linda, Boots Anson Roa, Barbara Perez, Caridad Sanchez, Maricel Soriano,Cherrie Gil, ,Gina Alajar, Gina Pareño, Daria Ramirez, Cherrie Pie Picache, Jacklyn Jose, Rio Locsin, Tessie Thomas, Susan Africa, Elizabeth Oropesa, Chin Chin Guttirez, Mylene Dizon, Agot Isidro,Ma.

Timothy Mark Pimentel Eigenmann in real life. Once in a while, a new face comes along in the entertainment scene that truly catches our attention. The moment we saw Sid Lucero, we knew that he's got it. And after seeing him act in his very first television drama role, there's no doubt that Sid will be the next best
young actor of his generation. Sid is being introduced in the much talked about soap opera "Hanggang Kailan," from GMA-7 and Filmex, Inc. where he is pitting talents against some of the country's acting heavyweights like Lorna Tolentino and Christopher de Leon. In the soap, he plays a lost young teenage boy who is searching for love and acceptance while in the process of finding himself. If his face looks familiar, it's because Sid is the son of thespian Mark Gil. The eyebrows, the nose and the piercing look is so very Mark, and from that initial episodes that we've seen, the boy has got the same natural intensity and passion like his dad. We learned that his manager Ricky Gallardo of The Talent Factory was
responsible in choosing his screen name. Sid Lucero is the name of the character Mark Gil played in the award-winning Mike de Leon film, "Batch 81," where Mark was elevated to lead status, and where he met and fell in love with Sid's mother, the former fashion model and
actress Bing Pimentel.

Sid, together with the other young cast of the soap, had to undergo intensive training in proper acting techniques with workshop director Peque Gallaga before facing the cameras. A quick learner, he says that from the time he started taping, he learned a lot in terms of motivation, delivery and focus, with the guidance of his directors Joey Reyes and Mark Reyes. He won Breakthrough Performance by an Actor for Donsol from 2007 Golden Screen Awards and Best actor from Cinema One Film Festival for Tambolista. Sid Lucero won Best Actor award in the 49-year history of the November 14-23, 2008 Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Greece, regarding film Selda.
