Have you ever heard of moro-moro, dula-dulaan or other Filipino plays that portrays the Filipino culture in the past? Is it proper that this be revived and be given emphasis so that the young could not forget our culture and heritage..

Yes, I've heard about them and I would like to see them revived. Don't they still hold the Moro-Moro in Marinduque? I would also love to see the ati-atihan again. I think now, these types of art are confined to being performed during fiestas. It would be nice to see them (as well as Filipino dances) brought to the forefront in, say, CCP or done in school activities to expose the children to our culture.

It is a good idea that you reenact this age old plays that we pinoys have been doing centuries ago. It is good that we keep and revive some of the old cultures we had in the past. Reliving such cultural past will also enliven our national pride.
