"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 influuences in manner of thinking, dressing and speaking. Do you know of any person who has acquired such foreign traits? what do you think of him/her?
Yes, I notice that she almost forget of being a true Filipino for a year that she stayed in foreign country  in terms of dressing and the way she speaks not considering the level of the person who she is talking with and also she always compare our country to the other country.




2. " The New Yorker in Tondo", a satire that has perennial relevance in the Philippine society, has been hilariously staged and enjoyed inside universities, colleges, and even high school campuses and in professional theaters. what do you mean by adaptation which National Artist Daisy Hontiveros......Avellanahad done with the Marcelino Agana Jr. play?
I think she wants to  uttered that showing from who you are is a simple way of living.Be comfortable of doing something like you almost do it..Be proud of who you are and I am proud of being a Filipino, a simply amazing...responsible and hardworking.If you let yourself pretending you're carrying a heavy burdens in your life.








3. Kikay meets her moment of enlightenment and shows her true color, she discovers her real self again under the Tondo sky which she had 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 you think that kikay is sincere when she decides to forget her acquired ways and accept her old friends once again?
I think she is sincere because of letting herself to forget of who  she is, like what she's trying to insist that her name is not Kikay anymore but Francesca also the moments with her friends in Tondo when they were still young until she meets her moment of realizing of who she really is by the help of Tondo sky which she had hated earlier and from which trying to escape.




4. Read some books and magazine articles about New York, USA. What are some of its features that attract foreigners?
I read magazines HOMES and LAND titled "Franchise Opportunity" most of their features is about business...information about marketing, other strategies in franchising products and to motivate individuals everything they need to know how to become successful in the real estate advertising industry.
