Nang mga mag-aaral ay magtungo
Doon sa may entablado
Upang ipakita kung sila nga'y natuto

Aba! Talagang kakaiba ito

The said event is composed of three plays that are going to be performed by three sections of the third year scholars. One of the plays to be featured is entitled "New Yorker sa Tondo", a classic Filipino satire written by Marcelino Agana, Jr. back in the 1950's.
This play is about a girl, Kikay, who came home to the Philippines?specifically in Tondo, Manila?after staying in New York City for several months. It shows the influences of the foreign culture experienced by a typical Filipino?Kikay?which she projects towards her family and friends.
Audience will surely love the characters in the play "New York sa Tondo." It will surely tickle the people's hearts and make the audience laugh hard as it reflects some realities in our society.
