"Are we complete?" Bungad ni Ericka na kararating lang.
Ngayon ang sinasabing meeting ni Sean at narito kami sa office. Bakanteng classroom ito dito sa jhs building. Dito kami madalas mag-usap usap kapag may upcoming events ang Teatro Pio. Our club name
I joined Teatro Pio back in 8th grade. Hindi lang kami dito nagpe-perform sa loob ng school, minsan inaanyayahan kami ng mayor sa fiestas or other schools for educational play. We only consists of 15 members. Mataas ang standard ng coordinator namin kapag audition day kaya bihira ang nakakapasa. Ika n'ya Teatro Pio is our school pride apart from the sports so if theater isn't in your heart, then you can't be one of us.
4 of us are officers. Ericka Salvacion is our president for 2 consecutive years. I looked at Rio, the one with eyeglasses. He is our vice president. He's reading some papers from Ericka. Siguro inaalam n'ya kung anong ganap at baka sakaling may mahanap s'yang sagot sa papers na 'yon. Everyone here is clueless kung anong meron at bakit may biglaan kaming meeting. Except Ericka.
I turned my gazed at Sean. He's combing his hair using his right fingers, and his left hand is holding his phone. He uses it as his mirror. He secretly glanced at Mikaela, our treasurer. I smiled. He likes her!
The first time I watched a play was when I was 6. Beauty and the Beast! I was mesmerized with their acting, full of emotions, and their voices? Loud and clear! Huh? Sila yung actors sa previous scene tapos sila ulit ngayon? Tanong ko sa sarili ko. What? They can sing too? How come na lahat sila magaganda boses? Ang saya nila panoorin! I have lots of questions before, how do they change clothes so fast? Do they have to memorize all their script? Or meron silang binabasa sa screen pero hindi nakikita ng mga tao? Akala ko pa dati may kung ano silang nilalagay sa loob ng mata at naka-install doon yung lines nila. I didn't know, I was just a kid back then. I was hella curious about them. I remember, kitang kita ko yung mga pawis nila dati, minsan pa pumapasok 'yon sa mata nila. It doesn't bother them at all kahit mahapdi sa mata ang pawis. They seem tired pero bakit nagpapatuloy pa rin sila? My curiosity lead me here. I am one of the theater actors now. My home for 4 years.
Dito nakalagay lahat ng props na ginagamit namin. Tumatambay dito ang arts club kasi sila ang sister club ng Teatro Pio, mas madalas pa nga sila dito kaysa sa'min, it's not a big deal though, in fact close namin sila. We're aware that making props takes a lot of time and effort.
"Male-late daw si Monica at Leo. Kay sir Agapito daw sila ngayon e, kilala n'yo naman 'yon, palaging late magpa-uwi ng students." Iling na saad ni Sean.
"Okay lang. Pa-list ako ng attendance guys,"inabot nya ang isang blankong papel sa katabi. "Nica paikot ng paper after mo magsulat, thanks."
"Sean, pagawa minutes of the meeting." Dagdag n'ya.
Mr. Carlo De Jesus is our club's coordinator and he's quite strict with documentations tuwing may gatherings kami.
"First of all, I'm sorry if biglaan 'tong meeting. Kanina lang din nag heads up si sir sir regarding this. Hindi raw s'ya makakapunta ngayon kasi may seminar sila ng teachers. Pressured ako guys, I mean sir Carlo is pressuring us." Paliwanag ni Ericka.
