Adamson University Tinik ng Teatro Celebrates 30 Years
TNT- Adamson, the oldest student based theater in Adamson University
celebrates its 30th years last February
6, 2016 at the ST Quadrangle. The event was attended by hundreds of Adamsonian
Tinik ng Teatro (TNT) alumni and was hosted by the Tinik ng Teatro Alumni
Association.
TNT- Adamson
started in 1986. According to TNT Alumni Association president Teri Onor
a.k.a Dexter Dominguez, “This is a milestone for all of us; three decades of
fruitful and meaningful journey for our beloved organization is no ordinary
feat!” Celebrity and Bataan Board Member Teri Onor assumed the TNT alumni
presidency post in January 1, 2016 after their 2-term president, Mark Anthony
Legaspi succumbed to diabetes complications in December before the New Year.
“I am personally excited on the synergy that
we will work on with Adamson University management, specifically the Cultural Affairs
Office and the Adamson Grand Alumni Association. We have a pipeline of projects
that we will pursue in the coming months aim to nurture and advance the
performing arts in Adamson,” added by Onor.
TNT Alumni Association was formed in 2009 in
time for the 2011 silver anniversary of the group. Since then the association
has been helping the school-based members financially for their production and
marketing of their show. “This year our assistance to TNT school-based and to
our alumni will now include livelihood and medical assistance and we are also
launching very soon our scholarship grant to deserving school-based or TNT
alumni dependents,” said Onor.
The anniversary night paid tribute to the 1986
founding members of TNT and also bestowed a posthumous recognition to Mark
Anthony Legaspi for his contribution and dedication in TNT; the award was
received by his brother John Legaspi.
The event also announced TNT’s 2016 recipients
of the Eduardo Alcalde Achievement Awards; Maria Vicenta Medina, United Nations
(UN) volunteer for war-torn countries and Adel Arguel, professional stage
actress, and senior artist of The Art Production.
Pasig Congressman Roman Romulo provided the
keynote speech and GMA 7 artist Boobsie Wonderland gave a surprise performance
for the TNT alumni crowd.
The TNT anniversary night was preceded by a
weeklong exhibit held at the Adamson Cardinal Santos Walkway from February 1 to
February 5, 2016. The exhibit showcased various memorabilia and rare
photo collections of the different productions and projects of TNT done in the
last 30 years.
The exhibit was formally opened by OIA- Director Eva Dulay, TNT
Alumni President Teri Onor and TNT alumna and Showtime Kalokalike 2013 Grand
Winner Jenny Catuyong.

formation that is not limited only to excellent academic programs, but also
takes care of the different facets of student interest -such in our case the
performing arts” according to TNT alumni public relations officer, Allan Catli.
