520			_aAlthough F. Sionil Jose the Philippines most widely translated novelist adores the stage, he has written only two plays, Muse and Balikbayan. In July 2008, the Cultural Center of the Philippines staged Dong Ao the second act of Balikbayan. Dong Ao is the traditional Ilokano ritual wailing usually performed by friends or relatives of the deceased during the wake and before the coffin is lowered into the grave. As Sionil Jose wrote this section of the play, it is also meant to be read. The direction by Cris Millado and the outstanding performance by Tommy Abuel, Bembol Roco, Fernando Josef, Bienvenido Dela Paz 11, Carmelita Sanchez and Gigi Escalante received tremendous acclaim. Balikbayan closes the Rosales saga the author's five novel opus which encompasses a century of tumultuous Philippine history. Rody Vera who translated Balikbayan into Tagalog is himself one of the country's finest playwrights, a polished actor and singer. He has already adapted three of F. Sionil Jose's Rosales novels for the stage...
