We, DAKILA – Philippine Collective for Modern Heroism, an organization of artists from various fields of arts - music, theatre, film, TV, visual arts, creative writing – believe in the potential of every Filipino to be a hero. We advocate a new brand of heroism that could be instilled through awareness, education and involvement. We believe that by doing even the smallest things that would contribute to the greater good, we could all be heroes.
As personalities in our own field of arts, we implore our “powers” to influence the public to make a stand and get involve. In this context, DAKILA has conceptualized the “Out of the Box Experience”. Out of the Box is a campaign towards awareness, education and involvement. It provides venues for the today’s generation to come out of the confines of their everyday mundane existence into an extra- ordinary challenge of discovering their own path to nobility and greatness.
As our opening salvo, we have partnered with the SULONG CARHRIHL Youth Network, an NGO working for the campaign on peace and human rights, to bring you “Out of the Box: Peacetahan sa Penguin – Galing at Sining Para sa Karapatan at Kalinaw”. The activity is an education and music session aimed to educate the audience on the importance of achieving peace and the respect for human rights. Secondly, the event will also serve as the launching of SULONG CARHRIHL Youth Network’s Peacetahan 2008 – A Song and Music Video Contest, Infomercial Contest, and Poster Making Contest - which aims to raise awareness on peace, human rights issues and international humanitarian issues among the youth.
The event will be held on October 26, Friday at around 7:00 p.m. at the Penguin Bar in Malate,
In this light, we would like to invite you to be part of the project. We would appreciate it if you could come to the launch at Penguin on October 26 and encourage your friends to submit their entries for the competition on the making of music video, infomercials and posters. Deadline for the competition will be on January 2008.
Your most favorable response will truly contribute in the success of this endeavor. Please feel free to communicate with us at 09228144626 for more details.
We are looking forward to being with you as we explore the world out of our own boxes. Thank you.
