Wazzup Pilipinas!

As requested by a huge number of online voters, The Legal Wife's favorite "kabit", actress Maja Salvador, performed a captivating and sexy song and dance number for the huge audience of the SM Mall of Asia Arena last July 18, 2014 during the Yahoo Celebrity Awards 2014 night.

Maja Salvador proves that she can actually make a significant impact as a total entertainer as she traverses another entertainment skill beyond merely acting and dancing on TV or in the movies. We could hear very well that she has the voice though not as powerful as our "biriteras" she can very well carry a tune and can fully accomplish a performance with very little errors or mistakes.

Combining dancing with her singing talent makes it more difficult, and make her more convincing as a performer, plus her magnificent outfit that night revealing her fabulous trimmed and fit body fully emphasized by her glaring dance moves signifies she's been also improving her physical prowess and figure.

The Yahoo Celebrity Awards, formerly called the Yahoo OMG! Awards is already on its fourth run as an award-giving body which gets its results from an online poll powered by votes form netizens worldwide. Filipinos all over the world, including foreign fans, must have all bonded together to vote for Maja as the chosen performer of the night. We all know why, and we are truly glad they voted for her!

Stuggling against disasters and surviving to tell the tale needs no words in the latest twin-bill production at the PETA PHINMA Theater. The Dora Theater Company’s (Japan) Ayanasu (Woven) shows back to back with Philippine Educational Theater Associaton (PETA)’s Strong Boy, Deaf Boy and a Girl in an Abaya on July 26, 2014, with shows at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

In celebration of the Philippine-Japanese Friendship Month, the PETA Theater Center and Japan Foundation Manila present these two non-verbal performances that explore the two country’s shared experiences in facing national tragedies.

Ayanasu (Woven) is an improvised non-verbal performance depicting a family’s journey from loss to hope during the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Ayanasu, literally meaning ‘to weave’, reflects the creative process that the Dora Theater Company (Japan), guided by director Kenjiro Otani, underwent to produce this piece. During the course of rehearsals, spontaneous vignettes were interwoven into a narrative of solitude, memory and synchronicity. This international staging coincides with the company’s 40th anniversary. Interested performing groups are invited to join a workshop to be given by Dora Theater Company on July 27, 2014 at the PETA Studios. The workshop is divided into three components: ‘Devise Works’, which focuses on how to build non-verbal scenes, ‘Physical Theater’, which engages participants in activities from the Viewpoints technique while,‘Taboo’ deals with engaging in taboo topics via theater.
