MONOVLOG: VIRUS, VIRAL, VARIANT IN DIGITAL THEATRE IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Giving Tree ko talaga ang MonoVlog at siyempre si Layeta Pinzon Bucoy! As always, riot ang presentation, Lallie!

Tapos na ang IFTR presentation ng MONOVLOG: VIRUS, VIRAL, VARIANT IN DIGITAL THEATRE IN THE PHILIPPINES. May future po ang ganitong timpla ng MonoVlog sa world (world congress kasi ito. Haha). Sinuot ko yung filipiniana bolero ni Debbie na gamit ko rin sisa sa mga MonoVlog.

Special mention ang mga gawa ng kaibigan na performance:

MonoVlog ng TP (salamat, Tata Fernando C. Josef)

MonoVlog ng Sining Banwa (salamat, Sari Saysay)

Dulaang UP’s Tinarantadong Asintado (Bucoy-Rutaquio)

IFTR Preparation

Yung akala mo prinsesa ka ng Genovia at nagbabakasyon lang sa Europa. May tatrabahuhing presentation para sa conference pala.

I would like to express my gratitude to the IFTR Bursary Committee and the UP Diliman for my travel grants.

Thank you, self, for continuously “kayod-ing” in life for your pangkain and pang-walwal abroad.

Yes po. Talino at ganda po ang puhunan ng ganitong trips. Bonus na lang po ang landi.

PS Motivation yung Irish pub sa tapat!
