Wagi ang Kanong Hilaw sa Tondo!




A night of laughter, music and memories
by Malou Liwanag-Bledsoe | AJPress San Francisco


Last Saturday, August 14, the stage at Serramonte Del Rey High School Theatre in Daly City came alive when New Yorker in Tondo came onstage.

A delightful fast-paced comedy, the five-member cast of New Yorker in Tondo fitted well in their roles and kept the audience entertained throughout the one-act play. 





Louella Albornoz set the tone as Aling Atang, the mother of Kikay, her daughter who had just come back to Tondo after a year of studying in New York. Albonrnoz’ comedic timing, along with the Tagalog to English mispronounciations that are a staple of Fil-Am comedy, had the audience laughing from the start.




Robin Lee Salazar played Tony, the centerpiece of an odd-ball love triangle, who is engaged to two women, his singing voice and good looks worked well for his part.
 

Joji Isla was hilarious as Totoy, a lifelong friend who has a crush on one of Tony’s fiancee, Nena, played by Jackie Castillejo-Guingona.Castillejo’s Nena was reminiscent of Lucille Ball, as she worked the stage with a wonderful sense of slapstick and facial expression


 

Richgail Enriquez, rounded out the cast as Kikay, the girl who’s friends all came to welcome back home to Tondo, only to find that Tondo had become to small for a big city girl with attitude. 

Sa Sabado Na Po Sila!

Joji Isla is Longhinus in "Kristo"



Before migrating to the US, one of my favorite character & comedy actor actor, Joji Isla was very active in Philippine radio, television and stage. He was and still is one of the versatile actors the industry has had.



On TV, he donned different characters in IBC 13's hilarious political satire "Sic O' Clock News" with the late Rene Requestas and Jaime Fabregas. He aws aide-de-camp to Congressman Tengco in the hit ABS-CBN sitcom "Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata" for so many years. Kuya Joji was also a part of of the kid show "Ang TV" which started the careers of Claudine Barreto, Paolo Contis, Jolina Magdangal, Lailani Navarro, and many others.



On stage, Kuya Joji was part of many theater plays with CCP's Tanghalan Pilipino in which his credits include "Kenkoy Loves Rosing", Pilipinas Circa 1907", "Bongbong at Kris", "Scapino", the opera "Rizal: Mga Huling Araw", and "Walang Sugat" including it's Indonesian tour.



Pinoy movie-goers are also familiar with Joji Isla as he appeared in at lest 40 Filipino films, mostly comedy. Here in the US, Joji landed a major role in "Corky's Hot Ice"- a thriller/comedy indie film which was shown in some Bay Area theaters last year.



Joji's latest stage stint was in the song and dance musical "Green Card" with Fe Delos Reyes, Thage Monteclaro, & Dandin Ranillo at the Ichiban Library shown before Christmas last year.



This coming Lent Season, Joji will be part of the passion play-senakulo, "Kristo" (the story of our Lord Jesus done in Filipino setting, songs, songs, & music) to be shown at Chabot College Performing Arts Center, Sunday March 7, 2010.



Joji will portray the roles of Longhinus, the leader of Roman soldiers who pierced Jesus's side at the cruxifiction and Simon the Pharisee.


"Krito" is a dance-musical drama-pantomime form, which means there is no dialogue, just music and movements. "Kristo" also features two-time best actor, Mat Ranillo as Jesus together with the talented dancers of Steps Styles & Spotlights School of Dance together with many other Filipino actors who now reside here in the Bay Area.

Hanep din ang Hi-tek Van ni Pareng Joji Isla kumpleto sa gadgets at signs. Kuha po 'to noong nag-long drive kami from San Francisco to Vancouver, Canada. Ingatz kayo sa Oregon, nadale si Joji sa speed trap, $300 yata ang multa. Doon lang kumikita yung mga maliit na barangay doon. Akala mo safe, yun pala may pulis, may pulis sa ilalim ng tulay. Pero walang kotong, pang-donuts o lagay, legit lahat.
