๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐จ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ โ From the creative heart of Dapitan to the national and international performing arts community, Jose Rizal Memorial State University-Teyatro Dasuliman has taken another significant step in its artistic journey, bringing its original dance-musical theatre production, PULSO, to the Manila International Performing Arts Market (MIPAM) 2026.
Held from September 11 to 13, 2026, MIPAM provided the Jose Rizal Memorial State University (JRMSU) resident theatre company with a rare opportunity to bring its work into a professional performing arts marketplace through the Showcase/Performance Pitching segment at the Centro de Turismo, Intramural, Manila,Philippines. The Cultural Center of the Philippines formally confirmed Teyatro Dasuliman's participation in the MIPAM 2026 Showcase in its June 25, 2026 letter.
For a theatre company rooted in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte, the journey to MIPAM is more than an artistic engagement.
It is a milestone.
It is a statement that regional theatre can travel.
That stories born in Mindanao can enter national and international conversations.
And that artists nurtured within a state university can stand alongside practitioners in one of the country's most important performing arts environments.
At the center of that journey is PULSO, a dance-musical theatre production written by Jann Dainver L. Maravilla.

Set in a remote Mindanao community surrounded by mountains and rivers, PULSO follows an enigmatic Mananambal, a healer who can read not only the ailments of the body but also the hidden wounds of the soul through the rhythm of a person's pulse.
Three estranged siblings, Samal, Salam and Salmo, seek the healer after years of sickness, misfortune and emptiness. What they believe to be a supernatural affliction, however, turns out to be something much deeper: a broken relationship among themselves, their community and the natural world.
Their healing takes them through four sacred realms, Water, Fire, Earth and Air, where dancers, singers, spirits and ancestral voices force them to confront grief, anger, pride, ecological neglect, fear, silence and forgiveness.
Through dance, ritual movement and original music inspired by Mindanaoan rhythms and contemporary musical theatre, PULSO transforms the stage into a landscape of memory, conflict and reconciliation.
The production ultimately arrives at a powerful realization: the deepest illness is not supernatural but relational, a broken pulse between self, family, community and creation.
PULSO is therefore a meditation on indigenous wisdom, ecological stewardship, family reconciliation and the interconnectedness of all life.

The four-person ensemble responded to MIPAM's showcase format, which required a 20-minute presentation with a maximum of four performers on stage, alongside minimal lighting and technical requirements.
Yet behind those four performers was an entire artistic and production team whose collective work gave PULSO its life.

Salatandre handled stage management, ensuring that the performers, transitions and technical requirements of the production were coordinated and executed within the demanding parameters of the MIPAM showcase.

Their contributions, though largely taking place behind the scenes, were essential in allowing PULSO to communicate its artistic vision beyond the live stage and reach wider audiences.
Together with the performers, the production team formed the creative pulse behind the company's international presentation.

For Teyatro Dasuliman, however, the MIPAM journey is not a story of four performers and a production team alone.
It is a story of collective support.

๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ, for the all-out support and unwavering commitment to national and international participation of the cultural and performing arts groups of the Main Campus.
The company recognizes that reaching an international performing arts platform requires more than artistic talent. It requires an institution willing to believe in its artists.

The CCP's formal confirmation gave Teyatro Dasuliman the opportunity to participate in MIPAM's Showcase/Performance Pitching segment, including networking and B2B activities designed to connect artists and organizations within the performing arts sector.

Her leadership and the department's work in facilitating cultural exchange have helped create pathways through which artists can move beyond their immediate communities and participate in wider cultural conversations.
For Teyatro Dasuliman, that pathway led from Dapitan to Manila, and toward the international performing arts community.
The company is deeply grateful for the opportunity.

The company likewise extends its deepest appreciation to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) for the grant support that contributed to making this artistic journey possible.
For regional artists and cultural organizations, grants such as these do more than provide financial assistance.
They create possibility.
They allow artists to rehearse, create, travel, present and dream beyond the limitations imposed by geography and resources.
For Teyatro Dasuliman, the NCCA's support became part of the bridge that allowed PULSO to move from a creative vision into a work presented on a major performing arts platform.
The company is profoundly grateful for that investment in Filipino artists and in the continuing development of Philippine culture and the arts.
๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐
MIPAM required participating groups to engage not only in performance but also in B2B Meetings and Networking Sessions and Content Pitching, providing opportunities for artists to connect with the broader performing arts ecosystem. Participants were also given access to showcases and featured performances at the CCP.
For Teyatro Dasuliman, this transforms the MIPAM experience from a simple performance into a professional and cultural exchange.
PULSO entered the space carrying a distinctly Mindanaoan artistic sensibility.
It carried the stories of mountains and rivers.
It carried ancestral voices.
It carried questions about family, community and the environment.
And it carried the creative aspirations of artists from Dapitan.

The significance of Teyatro Dasuliman's MIPAM participation ultimately lies in what it represents.
It represents the continuing rise of regional creative voices.
It represents the capacity of state universities to nurture professional-caliber artists.
It represents the possibility of bringing Mindanaoan stories into broader cultural conversations.
And it represents what becomes possible when artists, institutions, government agencies, cultural organizations and communities work together.
No single person brought Teyatro Dasuliman to MIPAM.
Many people did.
The performers carried the story.
The production team shaped it.
The university supported it.
The cultural agencies opened pathways.
The organizers created the platform.
The grant made part of the journey possible.
And the audience gave the work its most important destination: someone willing to listen.
๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐
The final act of PULSO culminates in a ritual of reconciliation in which the individual heartbeats of the siblings become one collective rhythm. Water flows, fire dances, earth trembles and air sings.
It is perhaps the most fitting metaphor for Teyatro Dasuliman's MIPAM journey.
Because this achievement, too, is a collective pulse.
A pulse created by artists and administrators.
By teachers and mentors.
By government and cultural institutions.
By supporters and families.
By Dapitan and JRMSU.
By everyone who believed that a theatre company from the northwestern edge of Mindanao could take its work to the wider world.
To all who opened a door, processed a document, provided assistance, offered guidance, extended a grant, created a platform, documented a journey, watched a rehearsal, supported a performer, or simply believedโ
Teyatro Dasuliman says: Daghang salamat. Maraming salamat. Thank you.
This moment belongs to all of you.
The journey does not end in Manila.
MIPAM 2026 is not the conclusion of Teyatro Dasuliman's journey.
It is another beginning.
A beginning that affirms that the creative voice of Dapitan can travel, that Mindanaoan stories deserve wider stages, and that the artists of Jose Rizal Memorial State University can participate meaningfully in the larger Philippine and international cultural landscape.
From Dapitan to Manila.
From JRMSU to the international performing arts community.
From Mindanao to the world.
PULSO has begun to travel.
And wherever it goes, it carries with it the people and place that gave it life.
Every river has a memory.
Every mountain keeps a story.
Every wind carries a voice.
And every life beginsโand healsโwith a pulse.
