Eugene Domingo is PETA's BONA

-
Eugene Domingo's popularity both as a TV actress and movie star is undeniable.  Every Filipino, young or old, knows Eugene because of her movies that are box-office hits for their entertainment quality.  I cannot forget the first movie of Eugene that I watched, Kimi Dora.  The plot is really simple and common, but Eugene's deadpan portrayal of her characters is just funny and totally hilarious.  I tried not to miss the chance to see "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank," an indie film that also earned Eugene many awards and brought her fame, both here and abroad.



Eugene took a hiatus from theater and concentrated in other projects in tv and the movies but her real ticket to entering the world of acting is theater.  And now, she made a comeback through the classic Lino Brocka film 'Bona'.   PETA's Bona is set in current times where Bona is more empowered and have a stronger spirit. The story line is the same, but the situations and circumstances leading to the climax are somewhat  modified to suit the more current setting of the play.   The basic plot of Bona obssessing over her idol, Gino Sanchez (played by Edgar Allan Guzman) who eventually dumps Bona for a starlet is not missing.   You should not miss the return of Uge to theater via Bona and see Eugene's  take of Nora Aunor's Bona.





Bona will run until September 23, 2012 at The PETA Theater Center
No.5 Eymard Drive, New Manila.

Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster.  There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars.  And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.   While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back whe...

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...

While enjoying my breakfast of adobong baboy and hot beef soup in Mam and Sir Diner located along the high way in Silay City, I noticed that most of the people around me were mestizas and mestizos so the curiouser I got about the history, not only of Silay but also of Negros Occidental. Silay City is also known as the Paris of Negros because of the well-preserved old haciendas , about 30 of them, that provide a glimpse of life back when it was the leading sugar-producer in the country, examples of these are the Balay Negrense and the Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Home which have been turned into museums for guests to appreciate the history and the culture of the town especially during when hacienderos were the leading figures of society. The Balay Negrense boasts of memorabilia and architectural features dating back 1897 when it was built by Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston, a Frenchman who married a Batanguena and later on relocated to Negros. Balay Neg...
