A multi-art production for the diplomatic community was launched by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) on Thursday night, with artists from different disciplines of music, dance, theater, and visual arts presenting colorful and riveting performances.
Entitled “Pangarap: The Filipino Dream of a Comfortable Life for All,” this project of the DFA’s Office of Strategic Communications and Research (OSCR), in collaboration with the CCP, told the story of the Filipino’s quest for a life of dignity and respect, worthy of the community of nations.
It featured artists from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao who took the stage narrating through their performances the Filipino nation's history from pre-Hispanic period to colonial regime up to the modern era, highlighting the country's continuing pursuit of a comfortable and secure life for all Filipinos.
The hour-long performance, directed by Dennis Marasigan, opened up the stage with the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group performing the “dugso” in silence, followed by veteran singer-songwriter Joey Ayala who came in with his “hegalong” and sang his piece “Agila (Haring Ibon)”.
While folk performances made for an exquisite opening salvo, Original Pilipino Music (OPM) artists Arman Ferrer and Lara Maigue, with their back-up dancers Benilde Dance Majors and PIA Dancers, put up quite a show with their upbeat choreography and pop music rendition, which included Yoyoy Villame’s “Magellan” and Bamboo’s “Noypi”.
On the background, sand artist Joseph Erwin Valerio, working on his sand table, created images that evoke pre-colonial Philippines and the country’s independence.
Towards the end of the show, the artists joined together on stage performing their interpretation of Noel Cabangon’s “Hanggang Mamatay”, while the sand artist worked on his canvas with the image of the Philippine Eagle, the country’s national bird, which is symbolic of the Filipino's bravery and strength.
“Good diplomacy is not only about policy issues and the economy. It is also about understanding culture and creating emotional links with others. The event ‘Pangarap’ created such emotional links by presenting the history and the ambitions of the Philippines in a performance, where a political message and a historical understanding were presented through songs and dances,” said European Union (EU) Ambassador to the Philippines Franz Jessen after watching the performance.
“Timely and meaningful cultural diplomacy that highlights the best of what it means to be a global Filipino. Connecting culture, history, modernity, technology to share the colors of the Filipinos to our global friends and promote understanding,” added foreign policy expert and university professor Austin Ong, representing partner agency Integrated Development Studies Institute (IDSI) in the event.
Acknowledging that arts can be used as an avenue to foster unity, strengthen ties, and improve diplomatic relations, the OSCR plans to bring "Pangarap" to other countries to promote the Philippines' interests and build relationships with other nations through arts and culture.
As the DFA's public and cultural diplomacy arm, the OSCR, under the leadership of Undersecretary Ernesto Abella, works towards achieving the goals of changing the world's perception of the Philippines and the Filipino people. ###
