Performing arts… When I was in high school, it was one of the things i dig and one of the driving forces why I wanted to be on the communication arts field. And then I took a detour. Haha. No regrets.
Meanwhile, if you will be attending the “Ani ng Sining, Ani ng Lipenyong Galing” Culture and Arts Month celebration, you’d get to witness three of the most, I say, clever theater groups we have here in Batangas.
