 Let Us Reflect

After the Japanese occupation, the Philippine theater has evolved to

become an amalgamation of the various influences such that of the Zarzuela
comedia, Bodabil, and western classics. Theater was largely performed in
English during the time, as it became a large part of the classroom education.
Meanwhile, Zarzuela such as “Ang Kiri” ‘Dalagang Bukid,” and “Paglipas ng
Dilim” became well-konwn beyond their regions.
