Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to a night of

fun and excitement, a night of songs and dances; welcome to the

Dapa National High School Variety Show. To begin with, the
Invocation will now be given by ________________. This will be
followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem.

To welcome us all to this special night, we may call on the

Vice president of the Student Supreme Government of Dapa
National High School, friends, Ms. Ellen C. Gorillo.

Thank you very much Ellen. To start our presentation, a

vocal solo will be rendered to us by a third year Intimacy student,
friends, please join me in welcoming, Mr. Norman Nojara.

Dance has been from the beginning of time, a reflection of

the pulse and rhythms of man as a social being. As many meanings
and purposes to life as man has found, there are dances to
express them.
Dance for man was a form of worship, a communication with
the unseen powers by which he lived. His dancing was full of
images of his immediate world: the wind and rain, the passing of
seasons, movements of birds and animals, courtship, renewal of
life, celebrating life, etc.
Let’s turn back the time and take a glimpse at the original
dances in the Philippines to see how much like the old dances, are
the indigenous dances that are danced today.
Ladies and gentlemen, lets all welcome with a round
applause, the Silangan Dance Troupe of Dapa National High
School.

 We Filipinos are music lovers. We always thought our day is
a little bit happier and more enjoyable if we could hum a favorite
song or listen to the latest music played on radio, cassette, or TV.
For some of us who are born romantic, listening to a
favorite love song is enough to complete our day.
And so tonight friends, the songbirds of our school will
render to us songs which we hope would touch our hearts and
would help make this night special and unforgettable. Friends,
let’s all welcome - - - -

The Philippines is particularly rich in dance heritage, both

indigenous and adapted, from the cultures of the East Asian
neighbors.
In the early part of the 20 th century, the Philippines was in
a period of transition, and was exposed to a wide range of new
Western influences which threatened to modify many of the
native institutions and folk beliefs, as part of the past was
already considered old fashioned, and were subjected to the
modifications of time and the introduction of foreign dances.
The form and content of Philippine dance have changed
dramatically. This change is an indication of how our self image is
changing in its relationship to our world and to the forces by
which we live.
Friends, lets join our hands together to welcome the
selected students of Dapa National High School as they will show
us samples of Cha3, Tango, Boggie, Swing, Samba and some
modern dances.

That was the last part of our variety Show. Thank you very
much for watching, Goodnight everybody…
