liwaliw Pages this month features the seventh volume or seventh of a series from some of the multi-volume or series titles in my personal library. In the CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, Volume VII (Philippine Theater), in Part IV or Major Works, contributor Ma. Lourdes Maniquis writes about Abadeja, ang Ating Sinderela, one of the first folktales told through puppetry, script and direction by Amelia Lapena-Bonifacio, and music by Felipe De Leon, Jr. On page 179, photo with caption reads "The two wicked sisters make fun of Abadeja, center, in Abadeja, which is based on a Leyte folktale."
In college, I recall Professor Lapena-Bonifacio as one of the luminaries, a respected faculty member of the Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts, College of Arts and Letters of the University of the Philippines. The country celebrates National Teachers Month from 05 September to 05 October per Proclamation No. 242 by then President Benigno S. Aquino III.
