For Philippine Independence Day: On Bodabil, The Filipino Vaudeville
Filipinas Heritage Library June 12 is celebrated as Independence Day in the Philippines (it’s the day the archipelago declared independence from Spain in 1898). Irrelevant to the concerns of this blog? How wrong you’d be to say that! All roads to lead to vaudeville, some more than others. But this story is bigger than that, and especially worth telling to people who are not aware of the long,…

(The American Colonization Period)
By: superHUMangie
This blog entry is all about the American Colonization Period which occurred in the 19th century. In this period, Vaudeville (known also as bodabil) was introduced to the Filipinos. Our professor in Humanities has given us an assignment whereas we will make our own bodabil. I liked the activity she has given us because it is so exciting and fun to do as well as it made me so interested. For that, I would like to thank my professor, Miss Ange Viceral. The picture above shows my own bodabil that I have made. Bodabil (Vaudeville in America) is a stage entertainment offering a variety of short acts such as slapstick turns, song-and-dance routines, and juggling performances (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/vaudeville). It is like a variety show in a theatre that was introduced by Americans to us Filipinos. My bodabil concept is about the water, as what the title says “Ang Tubig”. I have chosen this picture to be edited as my bodabil because we Filipinos are somehow waterproof in terms of dealing with different problems. Just like us 2AAC, we are delightful indeed even if we have difficulties. That is why I have chosen the picture of my classmates taken during my friend’s birthday. The design of the poster is somewhat serious and suspense with a comedy outlook. In this movie, the audience will depict what kind of people Filipinos are in terms of dealing with their problems and other difficulties in life. Our Philippine Art came from the roots of our culture, traditions and beliefs that started during the Pre-Colonial times. It started during the Pre-Colonial Era where our ancestors did some art with the use of the nature and their beliefs on it. It continued during the American Colonization Period. The Americans during their colonization introduced a lot of things including the vaudeville itself. They have brought vaudeville (bodabil) to introduce new concepts in terms of arts and music and to secretly manipulate the Filipinos because it will attract them and patronize the American’s culture. They have also brought new styles and designs for architecture like the concept of Art Nouveau and Art Deco for house patterns and designs that influenced our government systems. The issues I can relate to the American colonization with regards to arts and cultures they have brought to the Philippines was their great influence to the Filipinos in terms of loving and patronizing their own arts and culture instead of our very own. We gave so much importance on their culture and forget ours. In short, we inculcate in our minds their own culture because they have influenced and feed our minds with the American culture and traditions which is wrong. And in effect, our culture depicts a mixture of a Spanish, American and even Japanese culture. We don’t have our very own distinct and unique culture, arts and tradition. That’s why we should be more intact with our very own culture and tradition and balance the different influences we have learned to the colonizers (Spain, America, and Japan) who have been in this country for the past decades. We should fill our minds that we should have our very own distinct and unique identity that will make us recognizable in any countries and in any nations around the world.
