Dulaang Kalye

Dulaang Kalye "Artista ng bayan, paglingkuran ang sambayanan!"
(Artists of the land, serve the people!)

Breaking through the formality of the enclosed theater structure, Dulaang Kalye takes the streets as the legitimate arena where can be showcased talents honed by age-old societal contradictions by portraying social realities resultant to persistent oppression and exploitation and depicting the consequential enlightenment and struggle of the toiling masses. Dulaang Kalye is the youth street theater

arm of ENCORE Center for the Arts Philippines Inc. Its membership is composed of professional and amateur youth and children artists from urban and rural poor communities pooled into a non-profit, community-focused theater ensemble designed for the optimization of indigenous talents and craftsmanship. Its formation is aimed at encouraging common people to find their playfulness through and enhance their appreciation of indigenous culture, contemporary ethnic arts and history through street acting and flash mobs.

Welga

Mahigpit na nakikiisa ang mga artista at manggagawang pangkultura sa mga tsuper, operator, at manggagawa sa pagtindig sa mga Strike Center at Welga sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa upang kundenahin ang oil price shock na ipinapataw sa ordinaryong konsyumer. Kapag ang presyo ng langis ay katumbas na ng presyo ng gutom, kailangang mangalampag at lumaban para sa buhay at kabuhayan!

Wakasan ang pagsasamantala ng mga monopolyo sa langis. Tumindig at ipanawagan ang sumusunod:
🚫 ALISIN ang Excise Tax at VAT sa langis.
📉 IPATUPAD ang kagyat na rollback sa presyo ng petrolyo.
🔥 IBASURA ang Oil Deregulation Law.

Ang bawat pagtaas ng presyo ng langis ay tumatama sa bawat tahanan. Hindi natin hahayaang lalong malubog sa kahirapan ang ating mga tsuper habang nagkakamal ng labis-labis na tubo ang mga dambuhalang kumpanya.

Basahin at ipamahagi ang polyeto ng PISTON hinggil sa pambansang protesta kontra VAT.

✊ “TUMINDIG” – KORAPTOBER PROMPT NO. 24

To stand is to refuse silence. is courage turned collective: an artist’s image can lead to a citizen’s awakening, a people’s rising. Tumindig tayo, dahil ang korapsyon ay masusugpo lamang kapag tayo ay nagpasyang humakbang.

⬛ KORAPTOBER is not just an art challenge. It is a month-long creative uprising.
As October unravels with hearings and exposés, our prompts trace a parallel story: the deluge of scandals, the machinery of power, the people’s resistance.
Each day, we turn these stories into drawings, songs, poems, videos—art that unmasks corruption and pushes us to confront its roots. Artists, after all, don’t just bear witness. Artists fight back.

FREE THE HANDS WHO NOURISH THE LAND!
As we celebrate Peasant Month this October, we highlight our peasant defenders, farmers, organizers, and land rights advocates who remain behind bars and continue to suffer from state persecution for standing up for land, rights, dignity, and freedom.

ALVIN “CHAI” FORTALIZA
FOUNDER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, BOL-ANONG ARTISTA NGA MAY DIWANG DAGOHOY (BANSIWAG) and
VICE-PRESIDENT FOR VISAYAS, SINAGBAYAN

Alvin “Chai” Fortaliza is a cultural artist in Central Visayas, known not only for his talent but for the depth of his commitment to farmers and their rights.His advocacy for farmers’ rights and welfare shines through her powerful choreography and performances, whether on stage, in the streets, or in different communities.

He founded the Bol-anong Artista nga may Diwang Dagohoy (BANSIWAG) Cultural Network in 2010. Chai is also the Vice-President for Visayas of Sining na Naglilingkod sa Bayan (SINAGBAYAN)- a national organization of cultural workers, theater artists, poets, musicians, writers and visual artists aiming to create and popularize people's arts and literature drawn from integration with the people.

On March 4, 2019, while campaigning for Anakpawis Partylist, Chai was unjustly arrested and accused of 2 counts of murder and attempted murder.

To date, all charges against him, except for the attempted murder case have been dismissed by the court.

Despite imprisonment, Chai remains steadfast in pursuing his art and depicting the plight of the farmers through his paintings. His conviction stands as a powerful testament that no prison bar can break the spirit of a true cultural worker and activist.

This Peasant Month, Karapatan Central Visayas reiterates its urgent call for the immediate release of all political prisoners in Cebu, Bohol, Negros, and across the country who suffer unjustly for defending the rights and welfare of farmers, and for standing firm in the struggle for genuine agrarian reform and social justice.

In the region alone, 2 political prisoners remain detained in Cebu, 13 in Bohol, and over a hundred in Negros Island. Many of them are farmers, peasant leaders, and land rights advocates imprisoned for defending their land.

A street theater named “Dulaang Kalye”

“Dulaang Kalye” ( literally meaning Street Theater) is composed of professional and amateur adult, youth and children artists from urban and rural poor communities pooled into a non-profit, community-focused theater ensemble. Aimed at the maximization of the talents and craftsmanship of cultural performers among the basic masses, “Dulaang Kalye” was formed in 2011 with the end in view of encouraging common people to find their playfulness through street theater and enhance their appreciation of indigenous culture, contemporary ethnic arts and history. Breaking through the formality of the enclosed theater structure, Dulaang Kalye takes the streets as the legitimate arena where can be showcased talents honed by age old societal contradictions. By portraying social realities resultant to persistent oppression and exploitation and depicting the consequential enlightenment and struggle of the toiling Filipino masses, resident artists and volunteer thespians of Dulaang Kalye deliver the crucial message of struggle and freedom among captive audiences from all walks of life who, with seemingly no end, flood the streets day by day.
