Mga Pangako kay Akasya
At his bestfriend’s funeral, Sebastian, a womanizing musician with highly pessimistic vision of life meets Asha, a very opinionated and hopeless romantic woman. Sebastian, who claims that marriage is just legal papers and documents that will only cause complications and problems as people’s feelings change, strongly contradicts Asha’s belief in its importance as a vow and as a promise that will reach heaven. Their sudden debate caused them to be sincerely curious about each other. As their curiosities grow, and so their feelings for one another. But will those emotions be strong enough to overcome their differences? Will their romance yield fruit even though they have contradictory views and perspectives about things in life? Or else everything will inevitably lead to their tragedy...

In Tropical Renditions Christine Bacareza Balance examines how the performance and reception of post-World War II Filipino and Filipino American popular music provide crucial tools for composing Filipino identities, publics, and politics. To understand this dynamic, Balance advocates for a "disobedient listening" that reveals how Filipino musicians challenge dominant racialized U.S. imperialist tropes of Filipinos as primitive, childlike, derivative, and mimetic. Balance disobediently listens to how the Bay Area turntablist DJ group the Invisibl Skratch Piklz bear the burden of racialized performers in the United States and defy conventions on musical ownership; to karaoke as affective labor, aesthetic expression, and pedagogical instrument; to how writer and performer Jessica Hagedorn's collaborative and improvisational authorial voice signals the importance of migration and place; and how Pinoy indie rock scenes challenge the relationship between race and musical genre by tracing the alternative routes that popular music takes. In each instance Filipino musicians, writers, visual artists, and filmmakers work within and against the legacies of the U.S./Philippine imperial encounter, and in so doing, move beyond preoccupations with authenticity and offer new ways to reimagine tropical places.
