The history of any society starts with its earliest written record. All that went before that record is prehistoric or legendary. Until recently it was generally considered that Philippine history began with the writings of a foreigner, Antonio Pigafetta who traveled with Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Now, with the discovery of the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, a document written by an ancient Filipino, that history now reaches back to the year 900 C.E. and we have a glimpse of life in the Philippines over 1100 years ago. This has become the most important document in the study of ancient Philippine History; a tangible evidence of our rich culture comparable to that of other civilizations...

Some members of the Core Group, after a meeting and workshop assessment of the recently concluded theater camp (see related article below), went to the Market by the Lake on the night of October 31, 2004. They checked out the first-ever cultural-oriented trade fair in San Pablo City, and got the chance to visit the art exhibit in the Komikero booth. The cultural trade fair was one of the highlights of the Festival of the Seven Lakes.

T anghalang Laguna (TALA) is a theatrical community-based organization whose ideals and principles are rooted in our desire to create a group of young performing artists advocating a society that is aware of its cultural origin. Founded on April 3, 1998 in San Pablo City, Laguna, TALA is never ceasing to extend its service to the community through workshops, performances and consultations.

TALA is a non-sectarian and a non-partisan organization whose stance shall always be geared towards the preservation of our identity and dignity as Filipinos.

For The Sake of Art, Culture and Faith, we remain...

Where are the youth who will consecrate their golden hours, their illusions, and their enthusiasm to the welfare of their native land? Where are you, youth, who will embody in yourselves the vigor of life that has left our veins, the purity of ideas that has been contaminated in our brains, the fire of enthusiasm that has been quenched in our hearts? We wait you, o youth! Come, for we await you!
