TEATRO BALANGAW Act Seven 2003-2004

Act Seven 2003-2004

Moving on to Buenavista as part of his personal outreach program as cultural worker, Obligacion organized “TEATRO MALINDUG” for students of Marinduque Victorian’s College and some out-of-school youth. “MARA UNDUK” was presented in January 2003, and by Lent “SUKAT IPAG-ALAB NG DAMDAMIN” (a dance-drama) was also premiered. A remounting of “BULONG” was successfully done in connection with the school’s foundation anniversary in February 2004.

An advocacy paper “MIMAROPA SUNRISE” with emphasis on cultural promotion and development and environmental awareness was edited by Obligacion during this period. The publishers eventually had to reckon with political pressure (no paper survives in Marinduque and even a church-based monthly paper eventually had to fold up) giving up the monthly publication after only six issues.
