The New Yorker in Tondo

THE NEW YORKER IN TONDO




1. Some of our compatriots go abroad, and after having stayed in a foreign country come back to the Philippines  already affected by foreign influences in manner of thinking, dressing and speaking.Do you know any person who has acquired such foreign traits? What do you think of him/her?


I have known one person who has acquired such foreign traits.When she came back here in the our country and the moment I saw her again.I have observe that she change a lot in a way of her attitudes, the way she act and the way she talk.I felt that she act like social climber because she tries to seek social acceptance through the use of obsequious behavior that she got in foreign country.


2.''The New Yorker in Tondo'' a satire that has perennial relevance in the Philippine society, that has been hilariously staged and enjoyed inside universities, colleges and even high school campuses and in professional and semi-professional theaters. What do you mean by adaptation which National Artist Daisy Hontiveros. . .Avellana had done with Marcelino Agana Jr. play?


Maybe the adaptation there means to the adverse effects of  peoples attitudes and doing in every moment in his life  is vital in order to reduce the impacts of of what is the result of what he did that are happening at present and increase resilience to future impacts.


3.Kikay meets her moment of enlightenment and show her true color,she discover her real self again under the Tondo sky which she ha hated earlier and from which she was trying  to escape.This is true to the nationalistic tone of the play which teaches love for one's own native land and native ways despite the laughter that it provokes. Do think that kikay is sincere when she decides to forget her acquired ways and accept ones friends once again.


In my own opinion, kikay is sincere when she decides to forget her acquired ways and accept ones friends once again. because she forget about being Francesca but instead she continued being a kikay who is Tondo girl  that love Tony who also a Tondo boyand she realized that without her friends she is nothing.
