CUERDAS SA PAGBABAGO is the very 1st Rondalla Festival of several of the current 26 community beneficiaries of the Rondalla Instruments Lending Program of Pagyamanin Likas Musika.

PAGYAMANIN LIKAS MUSIKA (PLM)

VISION

An informal organization of friends, associates and schoolmates whose vision is to help preserve and promote the playing and appreciation of the native Philippines Rondalla instruments while at the same time becoming an agent of change for the Philippines by investing in the future of its children.

MISSION

Its mission is to work together to build a healthier and stronger Philippines by helping level the playing field for our less fortunate children through the iconic rondalla tradition.

OBJECTIVE

To promote awareness of this unique aspect of Philippines heritage, to generate support from well-meaning patrons and sponsors, and to increase the number of rondalla aficionados, especially those who could not otherwise afford to acquire the instruments.
It is hoped that this will ensure a permanent interest in this national treasure and could help keep alive and well the rondalla instrument making craft and industry and provide for a much brighter opportunity and future for our children especially those coming from the marginalized communities.

MECHANICS

From a subset of solicited funds or instruments, a marginalized barangay/village is selected as the target beneficiary. Once resources and responsible contact persons have been identified, eight (8) rondalla instruments (4 bandurrias, 1 laud, 1 octavina and 2 guitars) are loaned for the freestyle training of its underprivileged children. Upon successful compliance with the minimum requirements, the beneficiary village eventually becomes the owner of the rondalla instruments, thereby providing for successive groups of children to enjoy and master the skills of rondalla music.
