Atang dela Rama (1902- 1991)

She is one of the most renowned singers of the Philippines in the first half of the 20th-century. Her first taste of stardom was in 1915, when her “Dalagang Bukid” zarzuela became widely accepted by the public. So famous was the “Dalagang Bukid” zarzuela that a film version was also made.

As early as age seven, she was already being cast in Spanish zarzuelas such as “Marina” and “Mascota, Sueño de un Vals.”

She has performed kundiman and other Filipino songs for the Aetas or Negritos of Zambales and the Sierra Madre, the Bagobos of Davao and other Lumad tribes of Mindanao. Because of her singing prowess, s190e was also able to travel the whole world – in a time where air travel was exclusively for the privileged few.

Among the hundreds of plays that she became part of, she singled out “Pangarap ni Rosa” as her favorite. For her, it was the most rewarding and satisfying role she has played. It was mixed with realism. She vividly recalled how the teary-eyed audience made the stage sparkle with silver coins.

In a 1979 interview with her, she mentioned kundiman and zarzuela best expresses the Filipino soul.

Among the kundiman and other songs she premiered or popularized were “Madaling Araw” and “Kung Iibig Ka” by Jose Corazon de Jesus, “Ay, Ay Kalisud,” “Pakiusap,” and “Mutya ng Pasig” by Deogracias Rosario and Nicanor Abelardo.

In the latter part of her illustrious career, she also wrote her own zarzuelas. Among them were “Anak ni Eba,” “Aking Ina” and “Puri at Buhay.”

She was formally honored as the Queen of Kundiman in 1979. She was already 74 years old when the award was given to her, but she was still able to sing “Nabasag na Banga,” the song that launched her to stardom.

Si Honorata dela Rama ay isang Pambansang Alagad ng Sining sa Musika at Teatro at pinarangalan bilang Reyna ng Kundiman noong 1979.

Ipinanganak siya noong 11 Enero 1902 sa Pandacan, Maynila at lumaki kina Pastora Matias, at sa asawa nitong si Leon Ignacio. Ikinasal siya noong 1932 kay Amado V. Hernandez, isang makata.

Sa edad na pitong taong gulang, siya ay nagsimulang gumanap bilang batang karakter sa mga sarsuwelang espanyol tulad ng La mascota (The Mascot), Sueño de un vals (Dream Waltz), Marina at Viuda alegre (Merry Widow).

Labindalawang taong gulang si Atang dela Rama nang simulan niya ang pag-aaral sa pagtugtog ng biyulin kasama si Ignacio at nagpakadalubhasa sa piyano kasama si Vincenzo Gambardella. Nagkaroon naman siya ng pagsasanay sa pag-aawit kasama si Victorino Carrion at Galia Arellano. Sa gulang na 14, ginampanan niya ang papel na Angelita sa Dalagang Bukid, 1917, na isinulat nina Ignacio at Hermogenes Ilagan para lamang sa kanya. Ang sarsuwela na ito ang nagpasikat sa kanya at nagkaroon ng halos 1000 na pagtatanghal bago mag-1940. Isinapelikula rin ang Dalagang Bukid noong 1919 at pinangunahan ito ni dela Rama.

Nakapagtapos siya bilang isang Parmasyotika sa Centro Escolar de Señoritas (ngayon ay Centro Escolar University) noong 1922. Kumuha rin siya ng mga kurso sa Royal Dramatic Theater Academy sa New York noong 1925.

Inawit ni Atang dela Rama ang musika ni Ignacio sa mga sarsuwelang nilikha ng mga tanyag na manunulat ng panahon na iyon gaya ng: Alamat ng Nayon, 1927; Ararong Ginto, 1925; at Ang Kiri, 1926 ni Servando de los Angeles; Sa Bunganga ng Pating, 1921 ni Julian Cruz Balmaseda; Paglipas ng Dilim, 1920 ni Precioso Palma; Anak ng Dagat, 1921 ni Patricio Mariano; Ang Mestiza, 1920 ni Engracio Valmonte; at Sundalong Mantika, 1920 ni Florentino Ballecer.

Kundiman

Nakilala rin si Atang dela Rama sa pag-awit ng mga kundiman na ginawa ng mga sikat na kompositor noong 1920 at 1930, tulad nina Nicanor Abelardo, Francisco Santiago, Bonifacio Abdon, Francisco Buencamino Sr., at Constancio de Guzman. Siya ang nagpasikat ng mga awiting:

Bituing Marikit
Madaling Araw
Mutya ng Pasig
Anak Dalita
Kundiman ng Luha
Kundiman ni Abdon

Noong 1930, napuna ni Atang dela Rama na kakaunting mga sarsuwela lamang ang naisusulat, kaya't siya na mismo ang lumikha ng sarili niyang mga libreto at kinalaunan ay itinanghal ng Samahang de la Rama. Ito ang ilan sa kanila:

Bulaklak ng Kabundukan
Anak ni Eba
Puri at Buhay

Manuel Conde (1915 - 1985)

Manuel Conde (born Manuel Urbano; October 9, 1915 in Daet, Camarines Norte - August 11, 1985) was a Filipino actor, director and producer. As an actor, he also used the screen name Juan Urbano during the 1930s aside from his more popular screen name. His first film was "Mahiwagang Biyolin" in 1935. He made almost three dozen films under LVN Pictures as a contract star. He later put up his own movie company, Manuel Conde Pictures, in 1947 which produced classic films, notably the Juan Tamad series (Si Juan Tamad (1947), Si Juan Daldal (Anak ni Juan Tamad) (1948), Juan Tamad Goes to Congress (1959), Juan Tamad Goes to Society (1960), Si Juan Tamad At Juan Masipag sa Pulitikang Walang Hanggan (1963)). Other movies Conde produced, directed and/or starred were Vende Cristo (1948), Prinsipe Paris (1949), Krus Na Kawayan (1956), Siete Infantes de Lara (1950) and its re-make in 1973, Molave (1961) and the internationally acclaimed Genghis Khan (1950).

Genghis Khan was the first Filipino film to be acclaimed at an international film festival in Venice in 1952. His Juan Tamad Goes To Congress is considered the best Filipino satire ever filmed. Some films intended for international release were planned by Conde but these were not pushed through because of some financial and production problems such as Saranggani, a film about the Ifugao rice terraces, a collaboration between James Agee as scriptwriter and Conde as the actor-director with United Artists as the distributor, the Rickshaw Boy and The Brown Rajah.

Manuel Conde died in 1985. He was honored posthumously in 2006 the Presidential Medal of Merit (for Films) by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for his contribution to culture and the arts. He was one of the recipients of that award together with visual artists Federico Alcuas, Oscar Zalameda and Mauro Malang Santos. From the words of Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, Executive Director of the National Commission on Culture and the Arts, “This is the President’s gesture of giving rightful honor to various artists who showcased Filipino excellence in the arts and cultural traditions in the international scene, underscoring the wealth of talent and heritage in our country”. In 2007, he was awarded posthumously the Lamberto Avellana Memorial Award by the Film Academy of the Philippines.

Conde’s eldest son, Jun Urbano (aka Manuel Conde, Jr.), became himself a film director, actor, producer and writer. He is better known as Mr. Shooli in a television comedy series Mongolian Barbecue.

On December 26, 2007, the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) announced the winners of the 25th anniversary presentation of the Luna Award before the actual awards night at the Club Filipino, San Juan City on December 27. The Lamberto Avellana Memorial Award will be awarded posthumously to Manuel Conde and Vic Silayan.
