The time has come for Cebuano talent to receive its tribute due recognition.
To someone who grew listening to Cebuano music, I am without a doubt a huge fan of what Cebuanos could offer not only in the nation, but in the global arena of talents.
Hence, when the Guang Ming Institute of Performing Arts (GMI), with the support of Fo Guang Shan (FGS) Foundation opened the Grand Siddhartha Theater on June 26 of this year, I was like floating in cloud 9 because at last! Cebuano talent is now given tribute.
To add icing to the cake, Siddhartha Theatre is a grand theatre for the arts. It has a seating capacity of 200 pax with state-of-the-art equipment to be used for film fests, plays, seminars, conventions, and musical presentations.
