Do
we ever think that a simple artwork such as painting or dancing have a
significant meaning. As a normal person, we tend to look arts as ordinary work.
One form of art that I really love is acting. I have been one of the members of
our prestige club in my highschool named Thespian. We performed plenty of stage
plays, speech choirs and also dancing. The stage play “Pinatay si Mayor” is
about a typical election. As a Filipino people, living in a democratic country,
we have the right to vote or to choose our next leaders. Do we get to the point
that we question our leaders if they really represent us? Do they run for the
position just for their own interest? “Pinatay si Mayor” was one of the most
enlightenment play that I have seen that showcases the electoral process or the
government actions. It showcases what the real Philippines really is now.
The
play is in line with the upcoming 2016 General Elections, the mass media that
we think that is always correct and reliable must not be referred as sources.
People nowadays is greatly shaped by media. They do not really showcases the
truth and sometimes it is just exaggerated. Political dynasty that manipulates
our country that we are just ignoring. There are anomalies that is happening in
our country such as black voting. Elites has a huge influence in elections
since there is also a need for money. People’s human nature is to be greedy of
power, if we got power, we tend to crave and crave for more. It just really shows
how power can manipulate people.
