"ENCORE! ENCORE!"
by Marlou Alonde
Crowd cheers as the performing arts club conquers the stage! Giving us an awe-inspiring performance with their amazing moves! Not only being able to entertain us, but also telling us the School's history as the years go by! They put on amazing dance performances with a theme from the 1950s to the 2010s.
We have prepared an interview with Matthew Gabriel Morales from 11 - Commitment, the Vice Governor of the Performing Arts, and was asked what are his thoughts about their performance today.
"Second time ko 'to maghandle ng play, and I think this is the longest performance ng P.A. Ang daming ideas, especially yung ending naming nagikot-ikot ng flags, I think it's a good idea kasi closing s'ya ng 80th anniversary. We have 2 weeks of preparation, nagawa namin yung 15 minutes na performance, natapos namin s'ya, at nahirapan din ako sa paghahandle ng P.A. ngayon kasi sabay ung hataw, tsaka sa P.A. dumadating sa punto na hindi ko sila nakukukusan, pero I'm very thankful na, ayan, nangyari, nagawa, and it's successful. I'm also thankful sa P.A. Family ko for their cooperation and their support sa'kin as naghahandle, very very grateful sa kanila, and I believe this is not the last performance ng P.A. this school year. Let's see, let's see, kung ano yung mga susunod, probably before mag-end ang school year, one week before, baka magkaroon ng performance pa ang P.A."
Matthew Morales was also asked what can he say about the Performing Arts' performances through out the whole year, "Tanda ko nung unang beses na mag-perform ang P.A., wala talagang akong nakikita na ganito ang mangyayari sa dulo, ang tanda ko n'on, tatlo kaming grupo, that was Mr. & Ms. Earth, and ito na lang kami ngayon, umunti kami pero yung energy nandon pa rin, syempre. Especially, this quarter na very busy ang lahat, ang daming ginagawa, kaya yung iba na gusto sumayaw, 'di makasayaw. Super pagod talaga, pero ako as naghahandle ng P.A., syempre yung responsibility ko nandon, yung commitment ko andiyan, kailangan talaga ng sacrifice. Ito talaga yung masaya as paghahandle ng P.A., lalo na pag commited ka, pagod pero yung pagod na masaya ka, kasi masaya ka sa ginagawa mo, gusto mo yung ginagawa mo. When I was elected as Vice Governor of P.A., hindi ko ineexpect na mabibigyan ako ng chance na makapaghandle ng P.A. na solo ko lang, like nandiyan si Cheriza Hufalar, na grabe maghandle, very very saludo ako, sobra humahanga ako, so iniisip ko, pag dumating ang punto na ako maghahandle ng P.A., ano kaya ang magagawa ko. The last two performances ng P.A., I was given a chance na makapaghandle, and I am very very thankful talaga sa lahat ng naging parte ng P.A., from then until now. To our club moderator, from Sir Pee-jay hanggang kay Ms. Gecelle. I am very thankful. From the bottom of my heart, I love them, I love them so much!"
We have prepared also an interview to one of the members of performing arts Adrian Imperial and was asked about how his experience as one of the performance in the closing of 80th "Syempre masaya kase naging parte ako/ kami ng closing, ayun ang trabaho namin as P.A to give entertainment sa mga nanonood"
He was also questioned regarding how hard or under pressure he felt about performing in the closing of the 80th "Mahirap gawa ng hindi biro yung ginagawa naming practice, nag bibigay talaga kami ng oras para sa practice. Nakakapresured pero at the same time masaya kase yung pressure nayun parang ginagawa namin as motivation na mas galingan pa"
