June 22, 2023 we made our Broadway debuts as (we think) the first Filipino-American Director-Choreographers on Broadway. We’ve poked around, asked unions, orgs and done our own digging, but could not get a straight answer about former Filipino Broadway directors. That’s probably telling in it of itself. We do know 100% there are very few, if any.
It felt wild rocking our ternos and barongs on a Broadway red carpet. This moment felt like one stop in an expansion of so much fight for visibility and hope sent through time from our ancestors. We implicitly know being able to walk through the doors of that theater took generations of sacrifice and belief. We feel connected, incredibly honored, and though our show had a little life on 46th st, we know what it meant to not just make it all the way to Broadway, but to make it as leaders. We are incredibly grateful for all who believed in us and rooted for us along the way, from parents to colleagues to peers. If we’re the first, second, or tenth… the most important thing is that we’re not the last. Happy Fil-Am month 🇵🇭

Since September 29, at 2:15pm there’s been an immense hole left in our hearts when our first doggy, best friend, and baby boy crossed the rainbow bridge at 14 years old. It’s impossible to articulate the amount of love we have for him, or this unforeseen amount of pain we feel with his passing. I actually don’t even remember a life without my best friend… every day, every habit, and every moment will have to be relearned. Until then we’ll keep thinking about all the beautiful people that felt his unconditional love and gave him love… and how he inspired us yet again with his perfect last day. How the clouds parted and the sunlight gently filled our living room. How the subtlest breeze was the only sound that filled our quiet home. How time stood still, rewound, and fast forwarded all in the same moment. Cocoboy — our boy, our old man… you did it. You beat so many obstacles. You lived a beautiful life. We’ll miss you dearly, think of you always, and love you forever.
Cocoboy’s last day (some of these moments captured above):
7am morning walk with Baloo and Daddy
730am breakfast
8am playtime with Baloo, Numah and Daddy
830am goodbye kisses for Numah before she walks to school
1030am trip to the beach with Mommy and Daddy
12pm a bath from Mommy
1230pm broccoli treats from Mommy
1pm a dance party with Daddy and Mommy
145pm a nice nap
2pm a string cheese treat during my nap
215pm a peaceful, quiet, and beautiful forever sleep

Breathe.
Life is throwing curveballs as we’re currently weathering a season of loss(es). No way I have any words to articulate yet, my heart just yearns specific things right now and one is to create. This piece was a spontaneous reaction, but a step in processing. When @mar.omin’s “When I’m Gone” came on shuffle it struck so hard in that moment that Mari and I just started shooting. God knows our souls needed it. And will still need more. I’m good, we’re good… in fact we’re freaking blessed and full of gratitude. But all this to just share in real time that it’s far from pretty all the time. Inhale. Exhale. Keep going.
