ANGELO: Luzon is a beautiful island located at the heart of the Philippines, serving as the
country's economic and political center. It is home to the stunning Philippine capital city of
Manila, known for its mountains, beaches, and coral reefs. Manila is situated on a deep bay and
is famous for its breathtaking sunsets. The city boasts numerous landmarks from the Spanish
colonial era, national memorials, monuments, a centuries-old Chinatown, and a variety of
museums, making it a diverse and interesting tourist destination. This island has a rich and
unique culture that has been preserved from generation to generation. Luzon has never failed to
amaze us with its fascinating culture. It has a captivating and spectacular way of showcasing its
culture through festivals, cultural dances, courtship practices, and wedding practices. Sit back,
relax, and enjoy the show as we take you on an adventure to the amazing culture of Luzon.
*LUZON PERFORMANCE*
ANGELO: A-mazing! One word to describe that performance! I love how it really gave pride and
honor to the very diverse yet rich culture of Luzon.
YUMI: I am very happy that we performed well, Angelo. Though I know that this lady will
perform even better!
ANGELO: For another EDAmazing intermission number, let me call Ms. Julia Sofia Retuya.
Let’s give her a round of applause, please.
*INTERMISSION JULIA*
YUMI: Wow! A lovely girl with a lovely voice, reminding us that we are Filipinos and we should
be proud of our country, as well as give pride by honoring our rich culture. We have much more
in store for you this morning! At the southern part of the Philippine archipelago lies an island
that, just like the previously mentioned islands, is rich in cultural heritage and resources. This is
the island of Mindanao! Known as the second-largest island just right after Luzon, it is a region
in which the majority is made up of indigenous or ethnic minority groups such as the
Maguindanao, T’boli, and Maranao tribes. It is home to various cultural heritages that are
popular throughout the Philippines: the Mt. Apo volcano found in Davao City, the T’nalak
weaving process from the T’boli tribe, the Rizal Shrine in Dapitan City, and more! Don’t tear
your eyes off the stage just yet for we will now witness our last set of performers as they wow us
with the culture of this island we call our home. Give it up for Mindanao!
*VISAYAS PERFORMANCE*
YUMI: A breathtaking performance, wow! It was indeed a feast for our eyes! Until now, I still felt
goosebumps, nice performance there, Angelo!
ANGELO: Thank you, Yumi! Did you guys enjoy our presentation today? Can I hear a yes?
YUMI: It seems like everyone definitely enjoyed the performance that the whole block of EDA
prepared. Now, let me ask the performers, did you guys enjoy performing?
ANGELO: We all enjoyed performing, Yumi. It was a nice feeling to display our talents through
dancing, acting, and even singing while also bringing pride to our country, which is the
Philippines.
YUMI: You are right, Angelo! But despite all of that, it boils down to one thing, did Ma’am Del
enjoy our performance?
ANGELO: Let us hear her answer as we call on our beloved teacher, Mrs. Maridel Duran for her
closing remarks.
