they go to school or can have a free meal anytime they get hungry. A local
church allows the use of their facilities for regular food services and promise
to continue the food ministry as their primary duties for humanity.

Program – TIKTIPAKLONG re-imAgineD | KamulAtan comes this August as
a contribution to the celebration of Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa 2014.
Tiktipaklong is a one act children’s play written
by the late Rene Villanueva; a Filipino playwright and author. He is famed
for his deep involvement in theater and television and in children's
literature, whether it be on television, in books or on stage. He
was on the hall of fame list of the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for
Literature, awarded the Gawad CCP Para sa Sining for Literature in 2004 and the
Gawad Chanselor sa UP in 2005. Few of us know that he wrote the legendary Batibot
theme song with music by Louie Campo. Rene Villanueva’s Tiktipaklong is a
story of a young grasshopper in search for answers on why his mother tasked him
to search out for food. His quest will lead him to meet and learn from the
other exciting characters in the story. An expedition full of ambivalent moral lesson in life. A refreshing journey
rediscovering the importance of hard work and planning for the future.
On its 16th Theater Season TA is proud to bring you an
adaptation of Rene Villanueva’s Tiktipaklong, the TIKTIPAKLONG re-imAgineD |
KamulAtan an action-packed, interactive, informative performance and
storytelling that encourages the audience to pro-actively and collectively
