Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
From 1941 to 1945, Japanese Imperial Forces occupied Manila. This was part of the Japanese design to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere with Japan as its leader. As a consequence of three years of enemy occupation, Manila became one of the most devastated cities in World War II. Ironically, this was also the same period when Philippine theater flourished. This period was described by Daisy Hontiveros-Avellana as "the Golden Age" of Philippine theater. Tagalog plays shown in theaters in Manila, especially at the Metropolitan Theater, enjoyed immense popularity and critical acclaim.
