Sooo, I'm just starting to get into Hair and I found a bootleg recording of it from the 2009 revival. I dove in deeper and read that during Let the Sunshine In, the cast would pull out audience members and dance with them on stage. But, when I skipped to the end of that bootleg recording, there wasn't such a scene. Idk why but it's bugging me and I need to see footage of it live on the theatre. Can anyone help me? Thanks

On paper, "free" Yung education na provider ng public schools. In reality, hindi talaga. Sobrang daming ambagan na in theory, should already be provided by the DepEd itself. Teachers and parents alike pay out of pocket for classroom renovations, etc...

Isa pang problema na na-notice ko is that despite the large budget allocated to the DepEd, sobrang daming paaralan pa rin ang inadequate ang kagamitan and infrastructure, particularly those schools that are far-flung.

There's no doubt in every bone of my body na malaki ang kurapsyon dyan sa DepEd. I just know it.

Hi y'all! Staple naman talaga sa student life nating mga Pilipino ang mga contests kung saan pupunta ka pa ng ibang paaralan at malalayong lugar. I'm just curious, ano yung pinaka memorable moments niyo during your travels?

Para sa akin, it's always food hahahahaha. I've been in many contests before, pero journalism talaga yung passion ko. Anyways, every time pupunta na kami sa venue ng contest namin, always naming pupuntahan para gumala is yung 7-Eleven. For me, 7-Eleven has always been my buddy every time may contest. Diyan talaga yung puntahan namin every time tapos na yung contests hahahahaha.

Also, yung free food. Usually, sagot na talaga ng mga teachers yung pagkain. Magluluto ng fries, tapos pag may birthday, bibili ng cake. I've experienced that three times already kasi chamba rin na kapag may contest kami, may birthday always.

Tapos yung fun na lang rin sa quarters. Naglalaro, nagchi-chikahan, atbp.

Honestly, ito talaga yung best moments ng mga contests eh.

How about y'all?

Na notice ko na usually kapag nag s-stage ng international musicals ang ibang bansa tulad ng Germany at Spain, sinasalin nila sa kanilang lengguwahe yung musicals. Pero why is it uncommon dito sa Pilipinas? Why aren't English musicals like Rent, Next to Normal—all of which have had Philippine stagings—translated into Filipino?

Hi. So, I love watching old photos of cities across the globe. I'm curious about Philippine cities? All I've seen are the daguerreotypes of Manila and its surrounding areas, as well as old photos of Cebu, Baguio, and Vigan. I'm curious about other cities, though. I really want to take a look at old photos of the following cities' cityscapes back then during the colonial era: Legazpi City, Naga City, Tacloban City, Puerto Princesa, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan City, Davao City, and Dapitan City. If anyone knows a collection of photos, I'd be happy to know them!

A MINDANAOAN GEN Z'S INSIGHT TO THE CURRENT STATE OF POLITICAL STATE OF THE PHILIPPINES

I'll keep it short and simple lang. True naman na talagang nakakapanghinayang na marami pa rin talagang taga Mindanao na sumusuporta kina Duterte. However, ito yung na notice ko:

1.) Marami yung sumuporta kang Digong na hindi sumusuporta kang Sara Duterte. Pwede tong gamitin ng oposisyon para makalikom ng boto

2.) Marami akong kilala na Gen Z na mostly hindi sinusuportahan ang Dutertes. Marami sa kanila, willing to vote for Leni (provided na tatakbo sya).

Which leads me to my final point: The Leni Weak Point

Na-notice ko nationally, ang kilala lang ng marami ay si Leni, while yung ibang presidential hopefuls ay hindi masyado na-e-expose. Kailangan tong i-fix kasi kung hindi, yung neautrals ay boboto kang Sara most definitely.

Looooool nakakahiya chares. Anyways, nag quiz kami sa GenMath kanina. The topic was very easy. Arithmetic sequence lang. a²=a sub 1 + (n-1) d. I know that it was easy kasi nakasagot pa ako during the time na nag di-discuss yung teacher. Come 1PM (dalawang period ang GenMath namin for Mondays kasi walang sched sa Friday). I didn't expect anything, kasi I've always known na mahina talaga ako sa maths. Nung time na na kailangan na sagutan yung mga questions, teh parang na mental block ako. Nakalimutan ko kung paano mag solve kahit alam ko na simple lang my gosh. Ending, 5/25 lang ako😭. I'm so disappointed kasi: 1.) The topic is easy; and 2.) I'm literally an honor student. With high pa nga. Tapos ganyan lang???? My gosh. Although, 37/40 naman ako last quiz namin. Still, I'm so disappointed kasi I know in myself na alam ko talaga yun. Hayyyssttt.

Everyday, i try to live my student life normally against the constant noise of instability. Politics, blind devotion to corrupt officials, self-serving senators. Not to mention the wars currently happening worldwide, and China's aggression in the West Philippine Sea and all the shit they've been doing. Oh, and did i mention inflation and economic downturns? Constant push for militarization in the youth? It feels like the future holds nothing but a thick smoke of despair and bleakness. And what about regionalism? Filipinos being divided culturally, regionally, and ideologically?

I may sound like a doomerist, someone who sees no hope in the future. I do believe that there's a spark of light in places we see dim. Honestly, i only want to set my thoughts loose as to give my heart reprieve, even for a single minute.

How i wish the world's not living beside a cliffside.

Discriminatory remarks against Bisaya people will only strengthen the Duterte regionalist and populist brand

I've seen posts here on Reddit, as well as Twitter and Facebook, that feature discriminatory remarks against those who are Bisaya. My take is that the people who push these kinds of narratives need to realize that it will only reinforce people to vote for regionalist and populist candidates like Duterte.

They thrive off of negativity and division. People see these kinds of posts, become emotional, then vote for someone who's unqualified because this candidate shares the same identity as them. Parang "that'll show them" narrative lang.

I agree that voting someone just because they're the same ethnicity as yours is stupid, but posting stuff generalizing everyone negatively, be it political or not, as well as pushing for division (example: stupid Mindanao secession narratives being pushed by both sides. The DDS side is because they want "development" While the other side is more negative and that "walang kwenta" Ang island) won't help persuade voters from these areas in Visayas and Mindanao to vote for a non-Duterte aligned candidate.

Almost always, I noticed that many of the most famous songs to come from musicals appear in act one (Defying Gravity—Wicked, I'm Alive—Next to Normal, The Phantom of the Opera—Phantom, Dead Girl Walking—Heathers). So, which musicals feature the opposite? A few examples I think count:

Rose's Turn - Gypsy

She Used to be Mine - Waitress

Seasons of Love - Rent
