𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 gave us a chance to step outside the usual, meet fellow young people, and be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Here’s a peek into TeatroTayo’s day at Linggo ng Kabataan 2026, captured in a few frames and countless memories.

Salamat, SK Federation - Iloilo City!☀️

𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗚𝗢 𝗡𝗚 𝗞𝗔𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗔𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗢 🛶☀️

One fold at a time, we came together to create something meaningful. 🧡

WVSU TeatroTayo joined the celebration of Linggo ng Kabataan 2026, sharing a day filled with energy, creativity, laughter, and new connections with fellow young people.

Organized by the SK Federation of Iloilo City, the celebration brought different youth communities together, reminding us that like origami, every fold matters. Each person brings a unique shape, story, and purpose, but when we come together, we become part of something bigger.

Thank you and padayon, SK Federation - Iloilo City ! 🫶

LNK 2026 reminds us that the youth are not only the future. We are also an important part of the present, shaping, creating, and folding our own stories today.

🎭🔥 𝟏 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄!🔥🎭

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱.

For the final day of our countdown, we look back at “𝗧𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗻”, a devised adaptation of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus from Iloilo Narratives and Layeta Bucoy’s Tinarantadong Asintado, 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝘿𝙧. 𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙣 𝙅𝙪𝙖𝙣, 𝘿𝙧. 𝙍𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙇. 𝙋𝙪𝙡𝙟𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙧. 𝙅𝙚𝙢𝙪𝙚𝙡 𝘽. 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙖 𝙅𝙧.

A story shaped through power, violence, revenge, survival, and the realities that surround us, reimagined through an Ilonggo lens and brought into a world closer to home. 🎭

Because theater has the power to take an old story and ask new questions.

What happens when the stories of the past meet the realities of our present?
What happens when we dare to look at the things we would rather leave unseen?

Perhaps that is what every artist eventually discovers: the stage is not only a place to perform, it is a place to confront, create, question, and make people feel.

And now, after days of revisiting the stories that have graced the TeatroTayo stage, tomorrow, the countdown ends.

But yours could be just beginning. ✨

And yes, Taga-West—LAST CALL! 🚨

One day. One decision. One step closer to the stage.

🌺🎭 𝟐 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄!🎭✨

Sometimes, the things we keep hidden are the very things asking to be understood.

For Day 2, we look back at “𝓖𝓵𝓪𝓭𝓲𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓼” 𝓫𝔂 𝓟𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓢𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼 𝓝𝓮𝓻𝔂, a work that invites us to look beneath the surface and into the complexities of memory, identity, longing, and the human experience. 🌺

Like a flower, a story can carry beauty and pain at the same time. Some memories bloom quietly, some refuse to fade, and some truths take courage to finally face.

And perhaps that is what theater gives us: a place to feel what we cannot always say, and to see parts of ourselves reflected in someone else's story. 🎭

Two days. One stage. One chance to let your story bloom. 🌺✨

Maybe the spotlight isn't waiting for someone else.
Maybe it's waiting for you.

* Sorry I had to edit 'yours truly' and write my name because I got word from friends that most bloggers/vloggers copy paste my caption so my name gets omitted and what they read is 'yours truly', prompting their readers it is their work. 😅 *

[ This poster is by yours truly, mixing my own work and elements of illustrations by Arnel Villaceran and photos taken by Gloven Gerogalin. This is from the experimental films/video art 'Kuris/Babayi' and our film will be presented for the first time in the Philippines - after its international festival exhibitions - and in a new format, in digital kiosk, at this exhibit. ]
