Ballet Philippines will present Masterworks in a live performance on February 2, 2010 at 6PM at the Cinema One of SM City Bacolod. Founded in 1969 by Alice Reyes with the support of Eddie Elejar and the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Ballet Philippines (BP) is widely recognized today as a cornerstone of the Filipino cultural identity.
Its audience represents a cross-section of Manila’s populace and includes visitors from around the country and around the world. Each year outreach and educational programs introduce new generations of audience members not only to dance, but to music and visual art as well. BP’s official school, the CCP Dance School, continues to produce dancers of international caliber. As the resident dance company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Ballet Philippines is globally recognized as the flagship company in ballet and contemporary dance.
With a treasure trove of over 400 works, Ballet Philippines’ wide ranging, eclectic repertory is unparalleled in Asia. From full-length classical ballets and internationally recognized masterworks to indigenous works of Filipino folklore and social issues, the company weaves a colorful tapestry of the Philippine’s rich and diverse cultural heritage – uniquely and distinctly Filipino.
The Company’s achievements, coupled with the generous and prestigious support of numerous local and national funding sources, have dramatically strengthened BP’s position as a world-class ballet company within the local, national, and international arts communities. Ballet Philippines looks forward to a future that pays tribute to its past. (SOURCE)
August is the National Breastfeeding Month here in the Philippines. So yesterday, SM City Bacolod through their SM Cares Program celebrated it with an event by inviting lactating and pregnant moms of the city. They have a baby shower type of event with a plus because they have invited speakers to convey the importance of breastfeeding, Lamaze techniques and proper nutrition during pregnancy.
I am already an advocate of breastfeeding (my two children were breastfed when they were babies and still plans to have it with Bella Grace) that is why I appreciated the fact that I saw many moms who are still into it. It was nice seeing modern moms do breastfeeding for the sake of their children. Dr. Jean Rodriquez, an OB Gyne, training officer and breastfeeding advocate, gave a talk on the long term benefits and pros of breastfeeding.
Anyway, I was lucky to be invited during the event because I have learned so many things especially about Lamaze techniques, proper exercises and nutrition during pregnancy. I think I can use some of the techniques introduced by local celebrity mom Honey Grace Catalan.
During the course of the event, games were held in between programs and a maternity dress fashion show was launched. Snacks were also served. After the event, they gave all the participants goody bags to take home courtesy of the sponsors.
The SM Cares Program is really doing a great job in supporting great advocacies. I hope they continue to launch more programs like this since our country needs all the help it can get. Tayo mismo!
