Note: It's unfortunate that the only people who post comments are Filipinos who want to feel superior by pointing out flaws or posting nasty comments. The performers are Filipino American students with limited knowledge of the Philippines, but a lot of pride in learning about their heritage. They've dedicated weeks learning about the cultures of the Philippines and sharing it with their community, despite limitations in budget, costumes, and resources. Comments encouraging them to learn are welcome, but if you cannot find any merit in their efforts, please keep your comments to yourself.
