    TINIO
    Rolando Tinio is a Philippine National Artist for Theater and Literature. He
    was born in Gagalangin, Tondo, Manila on March 5, 1937.[5] As a child,
    Tinio was fond of organizing and directing his playmates for costumed
    celebrations. He was an active participant in the Filipino movie industry and
    enjoyed working with Philippine celebrities who he himself had admired in
    his childhood. Tinio himself became a film actor and scriptwriter. He is
    often described as a religious, well-behaved and gifted person.

    Tinio was also an actor, director, and a set and costume designer. He served
    all these roles during his stay with the Ateneo Experimental Theater. Tinio
    chose the plays, designs the stage, directs, creates the costumes and
    determines the musical score and other sounds.

    Rolando Santos Tinio was directing a musical when he suffered a heart


    attack in Manila on July 7, 1997. He died on July 8, 1997 at age 60. His
    wife, theater and film actress Ella Luansing had died some years before. He
    was survived by his two children, Antonio and Victoria.

    Rolando S. Tinio was a playwright, actor, poet, translator, teacher, and critic. He grew
    up in Tondo and graduated from the University of Santo Tomas with a degree in
    Philosophy, magna cum laude at the age of 18.

    CONTRIBUTION IN THE PHILIPPINE ART

    He was known for translating Western classics, which includes the works of Shakespeare,
    Ibsen, Sophocles, Chekhov and Puccini into Filipino. He led theater groups Ateneo
    Experimental Theater and Teatro Pilipino to new heights with his artistic vision and
    intellectual approach. He also worked on the stage adaptation of National Artist Nick
    Joaquin’s play Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. He was conferred National Artist status
    in 1997.
    He led theater groups Ateneo Experimental Theater and Teatro Pilipino to new heights
    with his artistic vision and intellectual approach. He also worked on the stage adaptation
    of National Artist Nick Joaquin's play Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. He was conferred
    National Artist status in 1997.
    Tinio decided to try writing in Tagalog and the product of this trial was
    the collection of poems now called Bagay. Rolando Tinio was the sole
    inventor of "Taglish" in Philippine poetry. Through this, he gave an
    authentic tone to the poetry of the native middle-class Filipino. 

    3 MAJOR WORKS
    LARAWAN
    The film is based on the 1997 stage play Larawan, which had its 1998 restaging written
    by Nick Joaquin, a recognized National Artist for Literature[2] which in turn was also an
    adaption of an earlier play A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino, which was also by Joaquin.
    The film is the third full-length feature film to be directed by Loy Arcenas, a
    former Broadway production designer.[6]
    The film is produced by Culturtain Musicat Productions which is owned by talent
    manager Girlie Rodis and singer-actress Celeste Legaspi who were also producers of the
    film.
    ROMEO AND JULIET
    Romeo and Juliet, written around 1595, is possibly Shakespeare’s best known tragedy
    and is certainly one of the most famous love stories in all of literature. The names of the
    two leading characters are synonymous with tragic love, and for many people, the image
    of a maid and man whispering compliments to each other on a balcony against the
    moonlight epitomizes romance. 
    SIDHI
    Sidhi is a 1999 Filipino film based on Rolando Tinio's Palanca-winning teleplay, Ang
    Kwento ni Ah, which was expanded into a movie script by Ricardo Lee. Sidhi is the story
    of Ah (Aunor), so called because she's mute and can only utter the first syllable of her
    name Anna.[1] The film won for Mercado all the Best Supporting Actress Awards given
    by the four annual award-giving bodies in the Philippines that time. The film also gave a
    posthumous award to Rolando Tinio for Best story at the FAMAS Awards.
