BLIND ITEM: Marcos Admin Official & His Big Time Collector and Depositor?

Who is this high ranking official of the government along with two special employees of the said official stands as a collector and depositor?

Accorinding to our source, the collector and  someone who he is currently negotiating is collecting a lot of money for his so-called "boss" who is this government official.

The collector makes sure that the money collected is given at the right time and there is another official that serves as the depositor of the collected  amount into the bank account or the high ranking official. 

The negotiation is made through a series of text messages during the month of June and July this year in which they had a separate conversation with another guy that talks about the milions collected from a project that is supposed to benefit the poor citizens.

ART IS A BANG: Walang Kukurap

The story of corruption is not really new to the country and the Filipino people, yet many still don't know the very complex and dark plans and people behind them. This year, Tanghalang Pilipino introduces WALANG KUKURAP by Layeta Bucoy that tackles the complexity and morbid truth about corruption, politics and power. 

WALANG KUKURAP shows the political network that is interlinked with drugs, money, strategies, loyalty, and family. It shows the darkside of both parties and all who are involved. In a town controlled by powerful leaders with political masks to decieve the public of their true intention. However, it also shows that the problem is also fueled by the poor who tolerate and benefit from corrupt culture. The question that goes into my head is "When will this end? How will we end this?"

It is actually my first time to see Tanghalang Pilipino (either I was too young to remember, or it was my past life), and it shocked me. Though I have seen stage plays with a violent theme, this one is the most moving I have seen so far. They have a set design that is surprisingly simple yet very multipurpose. I was also want to crumple like a paper upon seeing real hammers and handsaw as props. It spooked my soul when they are using them, but they did a wonderful job of executing them to be so realistic.
