III. Learner’s Activities

The 20th-century traditional composers of the Philippines — Antonio J. Molina, Nicanor Abelardo, Francisco Santiago, and Lucio San Pedro — are known for blending Western classical techniques with Filipino folk melodies and emotional expression.


This time, we’ll experience their music not just by reading or listening, but by feeling it through movement, rhythm, and coordination.
