AIDE-TP holds Awarding Ceremony for the First Batch of Graduates of Certificate Course on Acting
Last May 25, 2019, the AIDE-TP held its first Awarding Ceremony for the Completers of Certificate Course on Acting. Acting Course is part of four Certificate Courses on Culture and Arts which have been pursued by AIDE in partnership with Tanghalang Pilipino (TP). The Awarding Ceremony was held at Rustique Events Place in Arnaiz Ave., Makati City. AIDE’s President and Chairman of Board Antonio O. Cojuangco spearheaded the distribution of the Certificates. The event was also graced by Mr. Fernando “Nanding” Josef, Tanghalang Pilipino’s Artistic Director, Ms. Tess Alcuaz, AIDE’s Chief Finance Officer/Comptroller, Mr. Remus Villanueva, Teacher of Acting Course and Dr. Cecilia Junio-Sabio as invited Guest. Five consecutive weekends were allotted to deliver the course. The content of the module were uploaded to AIDE’s Learning Management System (LMS) so that the students can access them anytime during their free time and while outside the classroom. To validate what the students have learned from the module and to be more effective as an actor, face-to-face class sessions were held for the supplemental lecture, actual acting workshop, production
and rehearsals. There were a total of twelve (12) students who enrolled graduated in the first batch. They represent various sectors from public and private institutions whose passion is into acting. Most of the students were happy that they were given this opportunity to pursue the course.
Featured in this issue is an article written by Ms. Kath Nobleza, one the student graduates of Certificate Course in Acting. Ms. Nobleza expresses her appreciation about the program and we are including her write-up in this so that others would realize how the program can help them realized their dream of pursuing an Arts and Culture course.
Salamat Tanghalang Pilipino at Asian Institute for Distance Education (AIDE) binuksan ninyo ang aming puso at isipan na hindi lamang ito basta-basta tungkol sa pagtatanghal, kundi pagtatanghal nang mayroong dahilan. Iminulat ninyo ang aming kamalayan na kaya nating baguhin ang bayan sa pamamangitan ng Sining.
Itinuro ninyo hindi lamang kung paano maging magaling sa entablado kundi pati na rin kung paano makakaimpluwensya
Team PAG-ASA, masaya akong kayo ang kasama ko sa pagtuklas ng ating mga sarili as an artist.
Nakakatuwa na ang SUPER OBJECTIVE natin ay nagkakaisa, Mamimiss ko ang grupo . Hindi pa naman ditto nagtatapos di ba? Kitakits sa susunod na
proyekto.Ibalong…..Ibalong.
Coach Remus Japitana Villanueva (TP Academic Head) The BEST KA! Ramdam naming ang pagmamahal mo hindi lamang sa ARTS kundi para sa BAYAN. Isa kang inspirasyon. Makakaasa kang kasama mo kami sa pagpasa nito lalo sa mga susunod na henerasyon. Congrats guro!
Tatang Fernando C. Josef (Artistic Director of Tanghalang Pilipino) salamat sa TIWALA mo sa amin mula noong FREE WORKSHOP pa lamang. Pinanghahawakan naming ang TEAM PAG-ASA na ikaw na mismo ang nagpangalan sa grupo. Hindi ka naming bibiguin.
Maraming salamat din po Sir TonyBoy Cojuangco (AIDE CEO and Chairman and TP Chairman) sa suportang binibigay mo para sa mga artista ng bayan. Masaya po kaming makilala ka.

“Kakaibang experience siya sa ‘kin, yung lahat ng expectations ko from the workshops to rehearsals ay nahigitan pa. Dito mo matututunan na mahalin pa ng sobra sobra yung bansa natin at magsilbing instrument para makapagmotivate, makapaginspire ng kabataan, at lalong lalo na yung mga taong nabigo, nag give up para tuparin yung kanilang pangarap sa pagiging actor” - Precious Grace Reonisto
“Nasagot nila o nabigay nila sakin yung bagay na gusto kong mangyari after the training. Hindi lang nila ibooboost yung wisdom, hindi lang nila ibooboost yung passion mo, kundi they will help you to pay it forward sa ibang tao… kung papano ito ipapasa sa ibang tao.” - Katherine Mae Nobleza
“Nag-enjoy ako rito sa workshop na to kasi nakita ko yung gusting gawin nung workshop no, yung buhayin yung kamalayang Pilipino at hindi ito yung pangkaraniwang workshops na nasamahan ko. Ineencourage yung participants na magkaroon ng adbokasiya, palutangin itoat gamitin ito sa pagpapakalat ng tunay na kamalayang Pilipino” - Carlos “Bong” Flores Ramos
“Ang workshop na ito ay nagbibigay ng kamalayang Pilipino na hindi ko naranasan sa ibang workshop. Bilang Pilipino o bilang isang actor na Pilipino, ano ang magagawa mo para yung mga advocacies mo sa buhay mo ay maisakatuparan.” - Maricar “Kaye” Sangalang
