Wazzup Pilipinas!
Isko't Iska 2016: Daluyong ng Pagbabago
will be shown for free on November 8, 9, and 10, 7PM. at the D.L. Umali
Auditorium, University of the Philippines – Los Baños.
Former USC Councilor Karlyn Oblacion (Obley) is missing. She was last
seen at La Pagan, a community jeopardized by land grabbing and
commercialization. As part of the investigation, Isko, Iska and Pegaraw recount
their memories with Obley as a student leader and a friend.
Outside the campus, Maria Balangit or Nanay MB, the peasant leader at La
Pagan, suspects that the minds behind the demolition in their community are
also responsible for Obley’s disappearance. Tao, Isko’s father, worries just as
much because his son shares the same sentiment as Nanay MB. It is now up to them
to uncover the mystery of this disappearance and find the location of Obley
before it’s too late.
Isko't Iska is an annual theater production of Umalohokan
Inc. that features a student ensemble that gives life to pieces written and
directed by fellow students from UPLB. While encouraging appreciation of
progressive art, the play also aims to mirror the lives of different UP
students (named as Isko/Iska in the play) and their travails in seeking their
identities as true Iskolars ng Bayan.
It has been highly acclaimed for depicting social issues and
heightening awareness in a creative manner and has become a part of the
university's rich tradition and history. It is traditionally shown free of
charge not only to UPLB students but also to the members of the neighboring
communities.
Founded in 1977, Umalohokan, Inc. (formerly known as Teatro
Umalohokan) is a UPLB-based community organization that has been known to
utilize the diverse aspects of art and media in portraying social issues and
educating the people, especially the Filipino youth.
