The 51黑料 College of Architecture hosted the Modern ASEAN Architecture (mASEANa) Philippines International Students Workshop 2020+1 held recently.


The event was part of the mASEANa Project (https://www.maseana.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/), a six-year initiative to document, study, and work toward conservation of modern architecture in the ASEAN region. Manila was the last leg of the workshop and conference series that different ASEAN cities have hosted since 2015.

Originally planned as an in-person seminar-workshop in February 2020, it was instead re-organized to be an online event due to the ongoing pandemic. As a result, the mASEANa PH 2020+1 International Students Workshop was virtually able to gather student participants and professional mentors from 20 different academic institutions from Metro Manila, Ilocos Sur, Bulacan, Tarlac, Quezon, Bicol, Iloilo, Cebu, Davao, and Zamboanga.
The keynote speakers for the Opening Ceremony were: Dr. Puay Peng Ho of the National University of Singapore and Dr. Jean-Claude Girard of 脡cole Polytechnique F茅d茅rale de Lausanne (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne).
The workshop was designed to have both synchronous and asynchronous sessions that allowed participants to discuss, analyze, and discuss the identified modern buildings and their environments. Asynchronous lectures, by Ar. Michael Manalo and Ar. Santillan for Module 1, and Ar. Paulo Alcazaren and Ar. Adrian Yap for Module 2, were made available to the participants.
The participants also met virtually during two separate synchronous sessions in March to discuss their assigned buildings. The output of the workshop鈥檚 output includes individual presentations for each of the buildings, posters of the individual clusters, and interactive maps or StoryMaps. The preliminary output of the workshop can be viewed via their online exhibit through this link: https://exhibitmaseana.wixsite.com/maseanaph


The six-week workshop was concluded with lectures that included Keynote Presentations by Dr. Edson G. Cabalfin of Tulane University, Louisiana, USA, and Dr. Eric Zerrudo of USTGS-CCCPET. The ceremony also featured special speakers from various provinces of the Philippines who spoke about examples of modern architecture in their locality. These included Ar. Ana Lorilla of Bicol University, Ar. Mariel May Gamalinda of University of Naga, Ar. Eugenia Pinoliad of the University of Bohol, Ar. Enp. Godesil Lejarde of Bulacan State University, Ar. Ma. Theresa Austria of the University of San Agustin, Ar. Noelito Del Rosario of Western Mindanao State University.


Headed by mASEANa Workshop Overall Coordinator and 51黑料faculty member Ar. Caryn Paredes-Santillan, Ph.D., the event was organized by the 51黑料College of Architecture with the 51黑料Graduate School 鈥 Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics (USTGS-CCCPET), the 51黑料Center for Continuing Professional Education & Development (UST-CCPED), and the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) Manila Atelier chapter. In addition, it was conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Industrial Science of the University of Tokyo, the Toyota Foundation, and the Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites, and Neighborhoods of the Modern Movement.

Music Master class series features Lea Salonga, Ryan Cayabyab /music-master-class-series-features-lea-salonga-ryan-cayabyab/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=music-master-class-series-features-lea-salonga-ryan-cayabyab Tue, 01 Jun 2021 06:05:55 +0000 /?p=59625 The post Music Master class series features Lea Salonga, Ryan Cayabyab appeared first on 51黑料.

]]>

Internationally acclaimed singer and theater actress Ms. Lea Salonga headed the master class for students of the 51黑料 (UST) Conservatory of Music specializing in musical theater and voice on April 24, 2021, via Zoom.


The master class was the 13th episode of a series of online discourses between significant people from the music and performing arts industry, both locally and internationally, and students from the Theater and Opera classes of the Conservatory of Music who are taking these subjects as part of their curriculum under the Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Music program. This series is coined as 鈥淜KK: Kwentuhan, Kantyawan, Kantahan: Isang Serye.鈥
Initiated and made possible by Nenen Espina, the Theater and Opera classes professor, acclaimed personalities from the industry were invited as resource speakers and students learned first-hand from them. In this way, it became a way to boost each student鈥檚 learning through the available technology and network of people willing to share their time despite the limitations brought about by the pandemic.
In the interest of improvement and learning, a total of nine selected students from the Theater class performed their chosen Broadway pieces to showcase their talent and musicality for Salonga to critique. In addition, she provided constructive criticism for each student鈥檚 performance.
Music theater majors, Shean Accad sang 鈥淓mpty Chairs at Empty Tables鈥 from Les Miserables, Vico Bonoan 鈥淧ure Imagination鈥 from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Roman Bernardino 鈥淟and Of Lola鈥 from Kinky Boots, Jan Montenegro 鈥淟osing My Mind鈥 from Follies, Jasmine Nepomuceno 鈥淔ascinating Rhythm鈥 from Lady, Be Good, Ruth Brillo 鈥淏reathe鈥 from In The Heights, Aledrain De Jesus 鈥淪omewhere That鈥檚 Green鈥 from Suddenly Seymour, Sherwin Anne De Leon 鈥淢aybe This Time鈥 from Cabaret, and Alexa Faith Samodio 鈥淥ne Perfect Moment鈥 from Bring It On: The Musical.
Although the masterclass was just a three-hour session, Salonga gave feedback to each student participant. She started building the foundation of the performance by breaking down the emotional backbone of the piece, stressing the importance of identifying with the central message of a song so that it translates to the performance since as she said, an artist鈥檚 job was to 鈥渢ake the audience to a roller coaster ride鈥.
The Tony award-winning perfomer reiterated to the students the importance of clarity in delivering the lyrics of the pieces and how delicate a performer鈥檚 role is in the art of storytelling which is the very reason for the enduring existence of musical theater. Salonga also coached the students in the power of acting, movements, and stillness while singing, which also falls under the fragility of the storytelling aspect in a performance.
Covering the technicalities of music, Salonga also reminded the students not to take for granted the theory and sight-reading lessons as these will come in handy when they are already on their respective jobs. With more than 40 years of experience as a performing artist, she advised the students on the importance of singing songs meant for their range and maintaining a healthy voice.
The Zoom video call had 167 participants, that included Lea Salonga, the students, and the audiences consisting of students, teachers, and alumni from the Conservatory who witnessed the master class. Also present in the virtual audience were the Dean of the 51黑料Conservatory of Music Assoc. Prof. Antonio P. Africa, Ph.D., and UST鈥檚 Vice-Rector for Finance Rev. Fr. Roberto L. Luanzon Jr., O.P., S.Th.D., D.L.
Uncontrollable variables proved to be a challenge for the master class such as the lag due to the inconsistency of the internet connection of each individual from different locations. Audio clipping, a limitation of the Zoom application where the sound cannot simultaneously come from two sources causing an interruption in the person speaking (or singing) also became an issue, which inhibited the supposedly continuous flow of a student鈥檚 performance.
Ideally, in a master class, there would be a live accompaniment. However, given the limitations of the situation of the pandemic, pre-recorded accompaniments were used, which also took a toll on the performer鈥檚 musical interpretation, but then again, this is another impossibility due to the restrictions of the quarantine regulations.

Ryan, Ryan, Muchikahan

Distinguished for his extraordinary compositions, contributions to the development of the Philippine music industry, and numerous awards, National Artist for Music, Mr. Ryan Cayabyab graciously shared his time to talk and discuss his works and career to students of Music Theater and Opera classes of the 51黑料 (UST) Conservatory of Music on April 17, 2021, via the online application Zoom. His discussion was also followed by an open forum where students asked him questions about his career and works.
The discussion titled 鈥淩yan, Ryan, Muchikahan鈥 was the 12th episode of a series of online discourses between significant people from the music and performing arts industry, both locally and internationally, and students from the Theater and Opera classes under the Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Music. This series is coined as 鈥淜KK: Kwentuhan, Kantyawan, Kantahan: Isang Serye.鈥
The session started with a medley of his works interpreted by various artists from a 1997 performance at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). Then, Cayabyab discussed the history and background of his works, such as Rama Hari, Katy: The Musical, Alikabok, Magnificat, Larawan, and his trilogy of musicals for Tanghalang Pilipino, resident drama company of the CCP, El Filibusterismo, Noli Me Tangere, and Ilustrado.
Himself a professor, Cayabyab made sure that the students were educated on the importance of the materials that accompanied the trilogy and the historical context from when it was written, stressing the importance of honoring national heroes and historical events. He explained the differences in style with each of the three musicals and also showed limited clips of the performances from some of the said plays.
The renowned composer, quite generous of his time, also told the students the twists and turns of his humble beginnings before becoming the artist that he is now. There were no dull moments during his talk which lasted for almost four hours, as everybody leaned in closely to listen to the man鈥檚 colorful real-life anecdotes, from his childhood where he taught himself to read music through his college days when he strived to help earn money for the family and witnessing the 鈥淧alengke ng Musiko鈥 in Raon, Manila, until today, to what he is now — a National Artist.
Cayabyab also told the students that they have to be confident, fierce, and excellent with their craft. He encouraged them to excel at what they do so that the jobs will come for them and they do not need to look for it anymore, as what happened to him.
A major proponent of Original Pilipino Music or OPM, Cayabyab also challenged the new generation in creating music, to do something that has not been done before, to be courageous and tenacious. He encouraged them to write music in their own dialects and not to force writing in English if it restricts them in relaying their message and ends up just being lost in translation, and told them of the intricacies and styles that will transcend in the music when they do so.
The Zoom video conference, exclusive to 51黑料Conservatory students, alumni, and faculty members, consisted of 70 participants. Also present at the conference was 51黑料Conservatory of Music Dean Antonio P. Africa, Ph.D., and artists who were regular performers in Cayabyab鈥檚 works, Miguel Vera, Sweet Plantado-Tiongson, and Eladio Pamaran.
The Zoom conference was also live-streamed on the 51黑料Conservatory of Music鈥檚 official Facebook page where it was available for public viewing.
Like a bonus feature to the talk, Cayabyab also played some of his songs live on his keyboard before the session ended, with his former colleagues singing the songs as if a reunion wherein good times were recalled.
Other speakers invited to the classes of Espina were the following respected names in theatre and music: Lemuel Cuento, Filipino tenor who is now based in Germany; PJ Rebullida, Choreographer, who did the choreography for Newsies, Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko, among others; Floy Quintos, Director of operas and Musical Theatre; Frank Rivera, Playwright, Actor and Director; Gino Gonzales, Award-winning Costume/Production Designer of Operas, Plays and Musical Theater works; Paolo, Heber and Pewee O鈥橦ara, known thespians in the industry; John Arcilla and Miguel Vera, who used to share the same roles in various Filipino Musicals; Ulisses Solano, Costa Rican Tenor based in NY; Stan Tucker, Professor Adjunct, New York University, Musical Director of World Tour of the Phantom of the Opera, who also gave a master class to the students; Thabiso Masemene, Piange of the Phantom of the Opera World Tour, South African; Eugene Titus, Costume Master of various musicals in Broadway; Darren Greeff, Choreographer, Dancer of various musicals in Broadway; Yael Pineda Hall, who played Rafikki in The Lion King鈥檚 productions in Australia and The West End.
To close the academic year, the Theatre and Opera class will feature the lecture by Phil Gutierrez, Production Manager of The New York Philharmonic. Espina invited the Symphonic Instrumental Department to partner with her class in this talk geared towards concerts and orchestra setups.

51黑料Graduate School and Faculty of Arts and Letters Professor Joyce Arriola, Ph.D., who teaches communication and literature, delivered a lecture titled 鈥淲riting for Government Television鈥 for some 120 media personnel of People鈥檚 Television 4 (PTV-4) and other personnel of the Presidential Communications Office (PCOO). The lecture was held on March 13, 2021 at the ASEAN Theater of the Philippine Information Agency, in Quezon City.


The lecture was the inaugural session on what has been envisioned to be a series of writing workshops for the People鈥檚 Television Network, Inc. (PTNI). Spearheaded by Usec. Raquel R. (鈥淩ocky Ignacio鈥) Tobias, PCOO Undersecretary for Broadcasting and Mass Media, the workshop series has the general aim of re-vitalizing the writing skills of media personnel who are serving in the government broadcast media.


Among the specific objectives of the workshop are the following: 1) To re-understand government information and communication; 2) To strategize government information as an expression of the institution鈥檚 vision and agenda; 3) To be re-oriented in the basics of newswriting and its potential for development and formation of public opinion; 4) To identify specific strategies helpful to increased viewership of PTV-4 News through an entertaining and engaging style that will be in harmony with the informative and educational mandate of the network; and, 5) To identify the various genres and sub-genres of government television writing and their impact on a more dynamic, creative and transformational career in news production and related fields.


Being a former government communicator herself, Arriola provided specific examples in her lecture, and also elicited from communication theory and research literatures for foundational concepts and historical precedents.
During the lecture, which was graced by the presence of PTNI Network General Manager and Chief Operating Officer Ms. Katherine Chloe S. De Castro, Arriola discussed the nature of media in general and television in particular, and how an understanding of both may help craft policies for government information management.
Arriola also discussed the different press models, the functions of media as these are applied to government information, the importance of communication and media policy and planning in designing the agenda of and crafting the program content of a government television network.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic protocol for social distancing and public safety, only 30 participants were allowed to be physically present at the lecture hall on March 13, 2021. The remaining 80 participants watched and participated through the Zoom virtual videoconferencing portal.
Arriola鈥檚 inaugural lecture will have a series of follow-through writing workshops that will tackle a number of topics such as re-appreciating the roots of TV news, news policy, news agenda, news genre, the education and qualifications of the news personnel, international news, and news sources.


This workshop series is in keeping with the PCOO leadership鈥檚 mission to continually institutionalize training programs that will help enhance the writing proficiencies of Philippine government television personnel and other members of the government media institutions and to remind them as well of the value of pursuing continuing professional education as part and parcel of their solemn duty as government communicators.

51黑料College of Architecture faculty member Ar. Lorelei D.C. de Viana, Ph.D., discussed 鈥淩egulating Colonial Spaces鈥 in her lecture held on March 26, 2021. She was one of the featured speakers in 鈥淥bras Arquitect贸nicas en Ultramar鈥 organized by the University of the Philippines – Diliman College of Architecture.


De Viana talked about the spatial planning and design guidelines in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial times. These were guided by the Spanish government鈥檚 perception of what an orderly, beautiful, secure, and moral Spanish colonial outpost in Asia was supposed to be. The said design policies then shaped the architecture and built environment during the period.


In celebration of the Art and Culture Festival 2021 of UP-Diliman, the UP College of Architecture organized 鈥淥bras Arquitect贸nicas en Ultramar,鈥 which centered on the Arquitectura Mestiza and the Built Environment in the Philippines through an online exhibit and weekly webinars throughout the month of March.


Besides De Viana, speakers of the webinar series included Instituto Cervantes de Manila Director Javier Galvan, Prof. Gerard Lico, Ph.D., of UP-D College of Architecture, and Dr. Pedro Luengo of Universidad de Sevilla.
