Rock Ed Iloilo - Jailhouse RockEd!
June 6 – 7PM
Metal Mania Rock Bar, Diversion Rd., Iloilo City
 
Rock
Ed Iloilo rocked Iloilo once again after their successful “Pasa Arte”
event in Brgy. Jayubo, Lambunao, Iloilo last February. This time the
event is highlighted to kickoff the start of the Rock The Rehas film
screenings featuring four documentary films about life in prison
namely: 1048:2261 by Gang Badoy
(founder of Rock Ed Philippines); Buhay Looban by Lourd de Veyra
(Radioactive Sago Project) & Marj Lachica; Dancing for Discipline
by Pepe Diokno and dokumenTADO:Rock The Rehas by Tado as one of major projects for Rock Ed Philippines through the Asia Foundation.
 
Gang
Badoy, Executive Director for Rock Ed Philippines; Tado, Pepe Diokno
and Leslie Umaly took time to spend a weekend with the Iloilo crowd as
to talk and spread the word of volunteerism and advocacy for making a
better country for our society.
Two representatives from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology
(BJMP) Ungka also took the stage and talked about the situations inside
Iloilo City’s
nearest BJMP facility. An interactive forum gave opportunities for the
crowd to ask questions and cite their own opinions about the films,
volunteerism and regarding situations that are happening within our
prison system.
The
event also was a chance to gather donations of used clothes, food,
toiletries and slippers for the benefit of the inmates of BJMP Ungka as part of the Rock The Rehas project of Rock Ed. Used books also were collected for the benefit of Sto. Angel Elementary School, San Miguel, Iloilo as part of the ongoing BookBigayan of Rock Ed Philippines.
 
Everybody had a good time as the night was rocked by the crunching sounds of the bands Martians, Diet Of Wormz, Four Horse Men, Children's Playground & Sixpounder.
The night more interesting as the guys from Iloilo counter culture took the opportunity to interview Rock Ed Philippines’s Executive Director and Founder Gang Badoy.
The mayhem ensues as Tado got into the act as well. Everybody went home
in the early hours of the morning drunk yet happy and contented of the
night fulfilled.
The
day after Jailhouse RockEd was more of a serious note as Gang gathered
Rock Ed Iloilo for the benefit of discussing more plans for Rock Ed
Iloilo before reurning back to Manila. Despite the hangovers and the
sleepy eyes, Rock Ed Iloilo ended the day transporting the donations to
a secure location prior to being handed over to the beneficiaries of
the event.
Rock Ed Iloilo will always be grateful to all who donated and participated in such an event. You guys RockEd!!
