@nala_azania There's a big difference between storytelling to generate income for representation and generating income through the art of storytelling— worse, we see actors with abysmal acting performances.
No offense, but there's a difference between representation and merely storytelling.
@nala_azania I was just pointing out that gay people's stories have been retold, shown in media mainly for income-generating reasons, not so much for the reality of what the storytelling represents. At times, the lack of true representation is itself income-generating for artsy cis creators.
@Tofluffy123@tehehewellyes History. I think this is what’s missing sa Pinoys. We lack history. The essence of Repertory Philippines, founded in 1967 included bringing Broadway and The West End to Pinas for Pinoys who can’t be abroad. The goal was truly intertwined— to have our talents on bigger stages.
@Tofluffy123@tehehewellyes Do read his exchange with @Malditawithahe4 — very enlightening,&if we know the history of Repertory Philippines, that narrative of “walang ambag” is an atrocious narrative. I researched as well, and truly amazing how Lea internationalized our Theatre Arts— as dreamed by founders.
@nicoquejano@ohhahhohh@sieuEdd@itselissediary This mockery from a seemingly renowned cinephile, but in fact is just another socmed commentator— making a name in the Philippines. There’s indeed a reason why.
Miss Saigon's creators came to Manila pulling Repertory 🇵🇭. Lea's success opened Broadway &the West End to Filos who'd been shut out. Rachelle Ann Go, Jon Briones, Red Concepcion& a whole generation followed her. That's DIRECT BEARING on Philippine art: she internationalized it.
@santiobcena Lea started in Philippine musical theater, recorded decades of OPM, spent years on The Voice PH, Kids, and Teens building the next generation of Filo singers. That's homegrown. Don’t mislead followers. ONA criterion isn't "domestic art only"—it's building a sense of nationhood.
@santiobcena I just said it. Lea's equal isn't one role; being the 1st Filo to win the Tony&Olivier; 1st Asian to play Éponine &Fantine, breaking barriers often shut Filipinos out of theatre’s biggest stages. Nora built inward as Lea carried it outward. Both count. Neither cancels the other.
@Djoko_UTD This I can tell you— there is a reason why this young phenom is already where she’s at, when most may probably say she shouldn’t be. She comes from a different background, her uniqueness brings a new persona to the face of women’s tennis for the world to admire. Keep the faith.
@manyapan Well, China never denied that the note did not come from them. We already heard China’s spokesperson talk after this fiasco— but there’s no denial about the note. Nor did that person who gave him the note declare otherwise.
@Abhas1234567 You actually, synonymously proved the Defense Secretary’s point. He’s talking about diplomacy, calling out the aggression, the coercion, and blatant bullying for the world to witness— and your narratives here, just expatiated the points he countered.😂
@JUNE_NANNIRIN@JuneNannirin_VN You need to go back acting on our screens again, P’June. You are a great actress and you have the capacity to take yourself to greater heights. Focus on your priorities, P’June— these can add to your happiness too. A good work material can make you happy, trust us.

@LamLaw1969@jinksabo@elnathan_john You indeed don’t know the meaning of “diplomacy” as you think it’s tantamount to the stupidity that China abrasively did there. No one openly stands up to China’s aggression, so read the tl’s praising him for what he said & FYI- no proof on your last statement— I mean opinion.🙄
@LamLaw1969@jinksabo@elnathan_john I know Singlish isn’t exactly renowned for its acuity, but I tell you: the term he used is probably the closest diplomatic synonym one could utter for the kind of brazen stupidity a country could possibly display before the entire world. Trust me, “desperate”is a kinder word.😂
@LamLaw1969@jinksabo@elnathan_john Seems like you don’t know what that word means, and why he mentioned that after “lauding” the guy who handed the note to him as “ordered”. You better read the transcript instead, as he spoke English fluently—and its unbrokenness may have lost you in translation.
