DAKILA

DAKILA http://dakilacollective.multiply.com/ DAKILA (greatness, nobility) - Philippine Collective for Modern Heroism is a group of artists committed to advocating social awareness among both their industry peers and their immediate audiences. Dakila recognizes that Philippine society is in the midst of a significant upheaval and that, as disciples of the creative act, the artists are not exempted from the responsibility of helping contribute to positive change. The performer can no longer afford to remain apathetic. As artists, DAKILA are not messiahs who can change society in an instant nor do they make claims to possess tremendous influence. But DAKILA believes that every performer, big or small, has the power to convey an urgent message, that everyone has the capacity to educate. Despite appearances and public perceptions, the name aspires to nobility— the potential to evoke what is truly great and heroic in each and every citizen. The term ‘Modern Heroism’ might be construed as outlandish and ambitious, yes, but it is during these trying times that the country needs acts of courage and selflessness in whatever form, big or small, like on the performing stage, making audiences aware of certain pressing issues at the very least, enlightened and entertained.

The taka-making tradition of Paete is well linked to the woodcarving practice. The takaan or mold used in making the taka is carved out of wood. Traditional forms of these takaan and the resulting taka are horses, country maiden, and other farm animals. In the heyday of international demand for papier-mâché in the 1980s, taka producers created various forms such as reindeers and Santa Claus, angels and cherubs, fishes and other marine life forms like starfishes and shells, fruits, and other animal forms.  Ordinarily, taka-making families specialize in certain traditional forms.  Of late, current taka makers have bought takaan from other taka makers who have dropp... http://dakilacollective.multiply.com/journal/item/32/100_katao_100_taka Mon, 1 Sep 2008 08:28:39 -0000 100 katao, 100 taka exhibition opening and book launching friday 5 September 2008, 4pm exhibition and auction closing saturday 20 September 2008, 4pm Sala'am Conference Room, Romulo Hall of the Asian Center R.

Stop the New Round Coalition calls the collapse of Doha trade talks a welcome respite for poor countries The collapse of the Doha Trade talks in Geneva yesterday over disagreements on agriculture subsidies is a welcome respite for poor countries like the Philippines. In the end, the ambition that has been driving these talks since the Doha round was launched in 2001, became too much and the aggressive push by the rich countries led by the US and the EU for more trade liberalization at a time of global crises of food and fuel too blatant for developing countries to stomach. The talks have collapsed because developing countries gave more importance to protecting and supporting its agriculture and industries rather than being hi-jacked into a bad deal that would limit their development options.

Joee Mejias, who was with her at that time, rushed her to Amang Rodriguez Memorial Hospital in Marikina City. The parents of Tara and Joee arrived at the hospital shortly thereafter. When morning came, Tara’s parents finally decided to transfer her to the Medical City, Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City. Since 8:00am of August 6, Tara has been in the ICU fighting for her dear life. Her parents have decided not to push through with the operation.

But if “strong economy” means high gasoline prices, if “strong economy” means Filipinos falling in line for rice, if “strong economy” means thousands of  Fillipinos leaving their families behind to take on dehumanizing jobs abroad, then we would rather have no economy at all.   The people cannot lie. We no longer need surveys to show that she is the worst Philippine president in recent times.

Artists in the Philippines are everywhere; they also excel in their fields of existence but only few are known to the general public. There are those who are marketed by big studios and media networks and there are also independent artists who despite being new to the scene possess great talent and potential. Mainstream or independent, these artists lack the support that would showcase their talent and works to the broad general public here and abroad through the new media – the internet. Even the well known Filipino talents have limited information both in the internet and printed publications, one need to search intensely to find the information that you need.
