This New Year is the perfect time to turn the trash lying around your home into cash! The holiday season is the busiest time of the year for Filipinos. It is also a period wherein trash can accumulate easily as a result of various activities linked to the season’s celebrations. Knowing this, SM is encouraging Filipinos to observe responsible solid waste management as they welcome 2021 via the Trash-to-Cash recycling program. SM City Puerto Princesa calls for nearby communities to bring in their plastic bottles, scrap paper, cardboard, and cookware at the recycling market along Lacao Street, Bgy. San Miguel happening this January 8-9 from 10 AM to 2 PM. Trash-to-Cash is SM’s long-running environmental initiative aimed at educating the community to recycle, dispose of their trash properly, and earn in the process. Launched in 2007, the program is part of the company’s efforts in compliance with Republic Act No. 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Program.
Since 2004, Club Mwah is the one and only Las Vegas
inspired show-stopping performance bar in the Philippines, still giving us jaw
dropping show that only they can offer, one name behind the colorful costumes
and grand production numbers is Chris Nicolas, the in house Choreographer,
Director and Designer, and the only one Diva of their center stage.
“Sa totoo lang in the Philippines, etu lang ang may
ganitong seryosong show, iba hindi tumatagal, etu yung pang long lasting entertainment,
etu yun eh.” Nicolas said.
Nicolas not known to many is a former member of Bayanihan
Dance Company, a graduate of Physical Education at the Philippine Normal
College, start as a dancer in 2004 during the establishment of Club Mwah, after
that he takes over as a choreographer until now. He draws his inspirations depends
on her audiences, he believes that it’s a constant change, that they need to
keep creating production numbers that people will love.
“Passion ko talaga ang sumayaw, pag nakakarinig ako ng
music lumalabas ang mga ideas, na parang gusto mong i-interpret.” Nicolas
explain.
Follies De Mwah is the term for all the dancers
performing in their bar, for many generations they develop and help a lot of
dancers across all genders, as the master choreographer he sees to it that the
one they select are in line with their standards, first is the height, the
willingness to learn even though don’t have a background in dancing, and lastly
the attitude to which Nicolas said is the most important part of their
requirement.
“Una ang height, iba yung matangkad, easy to pick up
steps, kahit hindi sya marunong, wala syang formal training sa dancing, and ang
Attitude, wag madaling ma-hurt kapag kino-korek, kailangan welcome sa correction,
kasi puro corrections dito, hindi yung
napagalitan lang nagpa-paalam na, sayang naman.” Nicolas added.
In the past 16 years, Nicolas admit to us that it is not
easy running a Club like this, they spend millions of pesos for their costumes
in all their numbers, and that’s not easy to return, with all the different
kind of Clubs around Metro Manila offering many things they feel that they are
not in competition with them.
“Dumating yung
time na gusto ko ng tumigil, sabi ng mga friends ko, Chris wag naman wala naman kasing ganyang
dito, kaya nanghihinayang ako. Kung makakakita ako ng isang lugar na may
napakagandang show, sabihin na nating mas maganda sa amin, gi-give up na ako,
kayo naman. Since wala nakakahinayang naman.” Nicolas said in closing.
Nicolas is optimistic in the coming months, soon they
will open a new Comedy Bar and they are reviving in catering the tourists
market to be their regular audiences, trade shows for tour and travel operators
are in the works now to re-introduce Club Mwah in a different level.

Spoliarium, an opera with libretto by Soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and with music by Ryan Cayabyab was the first production I saw pertaining to the life of Juan Luna. Originally staged at the CCP in 2003 starring Robert Seña at the titular role, the opera was staged in Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York thirteen years later. Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) current production of "Obra Ni Juan " was my follow-up. This original Filipino musical was written by Atty. Vince Tañada, PSF President and Artistic Director and with music by Peter Paul "Pipo" Cifra, president of UST Conservatory of Music Alumni Association Incorporated, marked as my first production I saw from PSF. Established in 2002, PSF is a professional theater company with an objective of helping the poor, elderly, sick and even the forgotten, has been consistently conducting free theater workshop in schools nationwide and continuously organizing outreach programs to various charities
