theatre groups all over the

one of the original members of PETA
(Philippine Educational Theater
Association) in the early ’70s where
Brocka and actor-director Cecile Guidote
Alvarez were two of the pioneers. “I
started composing for PETA in 1968
through the prodding of Cecile (Guidote)
who inspired me to do creative music for
her theater  works starting with production
of Crucible and her own version of
Larawan. It was at PETA where I met Lino
(Brocka) who was then our publicity
officer. He wanted me to compose music
for his movies. I would say that it was in
Tinimbang where I got my first big break.
It was his first produced film and almost
all of PETA got involved. It was a very
exciting time for me.
