BARASOAIN KALINANGAN FOUNDATION, INC. (BKFI) – MALOLOS
The Barasoain Kalinangan Foundation, Inc. (BKFI) is a community theater in historic
Malolos, Bulacan. When it began in 1980 as an initiative by seven young thespians from
different towns in Bulacan province who wanted to mount street theater productions as
strategic components of political mass actions, it utilized as its base—rehearsal,
performance, and office spaces—the iconic Barasoain Church, where at the turn of the
century revolutionary leaders drafted the first constitution which gave birth to the
Philippine Republic, the first constitutional democracy in Asia.
BKFI—whose vision is “A nationalist and humane Bulakeño culture”—has continuously
developed and promoted the richness of Bulacan history and culture through its original
productions that pay tribute to Bulacan heroes and artists.

SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY
At Silliman, education is what beats within you. It is the heart that pulls your goals and
aspirations together, and the spirit that breathes life to them. Slowly, you make sense of
what works around you, and release your dreams from the pages locked up in mental
notes of your initial fear of failure.
At Silliman, education strikes a chord with three components that make us humans: the
mind, the heart and the soul. And this guides us in moving ahead, in developing
persons of competence, character and faith - “whole person kind of education” that
develops people for others.
