Philippines - Lessons on love, forgiveness, and the triumph of good over evil again took center stage as Ginoong Gerardo Francisco Jr. recently restaged his award-winning Ibong Adarna at the Aliw Theater to conclude Ballet Manila’s 25th performance season.
“Today’s generation is exposed to so many different cultures and there may be tendencies for lines to blur and forget one’s core identity,” he said. Ballet Manila’s Ibong Adarna is a reminder to the younger generation about who they are as Filipinos and the values that our culture considers most important.
